Ive been waiting for Rivas to fight someone worth a damn and the other guy i dont really know nothing about

Oscar got Denied a fight in Cali twice.
California atheltic commission didn't allowed him to fight because of a eye problem. Suffered a detached Retina a couple years ago.
Fight Vs Gerald Washington 19-2-1 & Amir Mansour 23-2-1 Fell appart.

New York & Canada let Rivas fight tho.
Rivas Vs Jennings might happen next.

As for Kean , he got a modern top HW physique. His Promoter compar him to Vitaly Klitschko. Little Smaller but faster imo. Worth keeping an eye on him.
Fun to watch too.

 
I was excited about Rivas about 4 years ago... but he seems to be currently fighting the type of competition he was 4 years ago.
 
Thoughts on Junior Fa? He just won another title the other night against a Mexican heavyweight, he was Joeseph Parkers rival in the Amateurs and he's undefeated as a pro.

He was TERRIBLE the other night.
 
I rate Fa over both
I took Time to watch some Fa fight on YouTube.
I don't see anything spécial about him.

I have to strongly disagree tbh.

I Lookes deeply His record.
Fa Struggle and Won à Majority Decision Vs Craig Lewis 14-2-1
Lewis other L came Vs a fighter Who is now 9-5 and His draw Vs 8-23-2 fighter.

I hope it was an off night for him.
Because we need every young good HW we Can get. HW boxing is coming Back to life with Joshua & Wilder.
 
Some of these guys like Junior and Rivas need a little more time to develope. Rivas not so much but if they have a little spark, there handlers arent going to want to rush them into a big fight if theyre not absolutely ready.
Alot of money in HW with some spots to be filled so it makes sense.

Rivas is 31, 24 fights, pro since 09'

It's now or Never for him imo.
He got the NABF title.
Needs to fight another top 15 next.

Kean & Fa can use some more tune Up.
 
They are all thick, tight and delicious, but not quite yet at the ripeness we truly need in order to taste their glorious musk. They have to marinate further.
 
Wasnt Rivas supposed to fight Bryant Jennings?

He has so much similarities with Eleider Alvarez is astounding
 
There are loads of good prospects in the division in Britain alone. Fury, Gorman and Dubois are all 23 or younger, and will all make big improvements over the next few years.
Don’t know too much about the non British prospects but the division is going to be stacked in the next few years, no doubt
