Comments Thread For: Joseph Diaz, Shavkat Rakhimov Reach Terms, Avoid Purse Bid For IBF Title Fight

[Citizen Koba]

Damn thats gotta suck for Jojo, nice payday & easy first defence agaisnt a guy he beat handedly, to be replaced by a tough undefeated Eastern block fighter.

Dont think ive seen the ruskie, he any good?

Kid got some decent moves - he ain't a plodder - and he can bang but it's hard to tell with these dudes basically never fought outside their country. Main thing I remember about him is some kinda accusation / potential doping shet when he fought in South Africa... but it looks like that came to nothing if he's still mando.

"The IBF generally does not recognize rematch clauses in contract in regards to their overriding an existing ordered fight."

Sucks for Tevin Farmer! I have an idea, fight Devin Haney @ 135!

Yep was thinking the same thing

That's the fight you want for your guy?

Well, not my first choice, but I want him to keep busy. Fight at least 4 times in 2021. Seems like the rest are with other promoters. (I was talking about Fortuna here, sorry.)

Yes, I do want a JoJo fight. Fun fight.

Is he a former Soviet?

[BoxingIsGreat]

Seen his last fight against Farmer? JoJo is a beast!

He's based out of Russia and has fought all but 1 fight in Russia he speaks Russian he is a Russian based Tajik. Isn't Dimitry Bivol half Moldovan half Korean born in Kyrgyzstan but he represents Russia right? Sergey Lipinets was born in Kazakhstan but he represents Russia too right?

Klitschko was born in Kazakhstan is he not Ukrainian to you anymore? You forget that when the former Soviet Union was at it's peak ethnic Russians and Ukrainians moved all over central Asia as well.

Diaz should and would win this fight but, I think he should talk to Daniel Roman first. See how much respect a champion gets when it comes to easternbek or whatever these fighters are. The ones fast tracked to a title. Dangerous judging for some reason. Setup bottom line.
