From earlier this year in the am ranks, Shakur's cousin (blue) vs Floyd's supposedly top prospect (red) -

 
Nonito Donaire vs his dad popping off on social media. Genuinely sad to see
 
@MMALOPEZ you hear anything about this?

Brother … my bad … I just saw your post… yes… I read Julius Julianis confirms it … no official announcement though …


They were trying to make David vs Munguia… it looks like Munguia vs Berlanga is happening next … the battle of the overrated … I don’t know who is Morrell facing next … that’s the big question

Fascinating. I wonder if Andrade actually goes through with it?

Might as well do Plant vs Morrell since Morrell has no opponent and Mall only wants to push security trying to do their job.

Agreed 100%
 
Can someone who understands boxing titles better explain this to me?

On every website I look it shows the Women's Super Welterweight/Junior Middleweight Title Picture to be this:
-WBA: Terri Harper
-WBC: Natasha Jonas
-IBF: Natasha Jonas
-WBO: Natasha Jonas
-The Ring: Natasha Jonas

Yet, on the October 7th clash between Terri Harper and Cecilia Breakhus is being contested for the WBA *and* the WBO Super Welterweight/Junior Middleweight Titles.

How is the WBO title on the line for Harper/Breakhus is Jonas is the champ? Was she stripped (can't find that news)? It's weird, and I don't quite understand it.

I don’t know where you read that but afaik it’s only the WBA strap on the line.

Braekus should retire I think.

I initially saw it on another website, but when I looked just now I found this on ESPN...they're saying the WBO Junior Middleweight title is vacant...interesting. I can't find any info on that.

Don't see that anywhere on the WBO website... they list Natasha Jonas as the champion.


Not that it honestly matters... do YOU give a shit?
 
Crawford is getting a lot of mainstream media exposure.



I don't know when the last time a boxer was on one of those network morning shows.

Further proof of how ridiculous it is that Arum spent all that time complaining that he wasn't marketable and wasn't worth promoting.

Jonas vacated the WBO title, so the vacant title is on the line between Harper and Breakhus.

Thanks, were you able to find any articles or media about this? Most of the major websites still list Jonas as champion.

It appears that Jonas also vacated the IBF belt back in June and is going to 147 to fight for the IBF title there.

Oh interesting. Weird rule the IBF has, if you fight for an IBF belt in a different division than the one you are holding the title in then you are vacated. Similar to what they are doing w/ Charlo when he fights Canelo, though they're allowing him to be introduced as champion, then officially stripping him once that announcement is over. Do you think Jonas is officially stripped now of that IBF or are they waiting a bit to make it "official"?

Thanks for replying with this info by the way!
