So Rigondeaux, despite just fighting on December 31st, said he's ready to unify with Leo Santa Cruz on January 17!!! Leo however finally put a name to his TBA opponent (Jesus "Estrella" Ruiz) and declined...



"I feel great about my upcoming fight with Ruiz.* He is a strong fighter, undefeated in the past two years and the kind of opponent I want to fight. I want to put on a great show on Jan. 17. And show boxing fans that I am a strong fighter ready to go to the next level and take on the top, tough fighters in the division: Guillermo Rigondeaux,* Scott Quigg, Carl Frampton and Abner Mares.

If you were making me a guap for doing what I loved, getting paid really well for doing it, when I sound like I work at Jack in the Box, I'd name my son Natasric if natas wasn't satan spelled backwards. I'd wear GGG hats all day as a compromise and start a multi-billion dollar boxing blog in your honor.
GGG hats I can get you! Black and Gold, white and black, black and blue your choice!

Here is a boxing hoodie I won in a boxing prediction league that I won first place in, you can see my GGG hat:

Great news guys, Al Haymon is starting 2015 with a BANG!!! The fight we've all been waiting for.......






According to Jermain Taylor's instagram and twitter, he's fighting Sergio Mora next.

Both are managed by Al Haymon.


:dead::dead::dead:





you must've won that a couple years ago, because your predictions last year sucked :cheeky:
Won it this year! First few months of the year I had some bad predictions, second half I was on point!

The sad part is, that's really not a bad fight at this point. Just a shame it's a for a middleweight title.
It was a good fight back in 2005 or whenever Taylor was lineal champ and Mora was undefeated. Mora turned it down. Its not a fight I particularly want to see. It's a good fight for Taylor at this stage of his career and avoiding guys with power that's for sure, and a good opportunity for Mora to win a strap. Just a sad fight being that it's for a belt. Winner will undoubtedly face Quillin or Jacobs. Might as well rename this to the 160 pound Haymon belt, it's gonna be in house for a long time.

I wouldn't mind that fight on ESPN like Taylor's last fights. I'd actually be a hell of a lot more likely to watch ESPN's fights if they were on Thursdays.

Steve Kim is a douche but he's been one of the only people that has brought up that Saturday nights are some of the worst nights for programming/ratings. It would be an adjustment for fight fans if fights were during the week, but he might have a bit of a point.
