Joyce-Parker heavyweight rumble on tap; 'Zurdo' wants Canelo-Bivol winner; Rivas homecoming defense set; date for Bryan-Dubois; Quick hits; Show and tell
i LOVE the toney-jirov fight. watched it many times (including live) and enjoy it to this day. toney was one of my favorite fighters (if not quite favorite people), and his ko's of michael nunn and charles williams are all time great ko's, abd his resume is top notch.
a few other bits from this recap:
> love bam rodriguez-ssr! that fight can only be incredible!
> rivas acts like it's been his dream to be the bridgerweight champion since he was a wee lad. have fun with that, rivas.
> lucas browne should NOT be fighting above club-level (if at all). if fa were even a little better than he is i'd fear for browne's safety, and even still he should stop the washed aussie easily.
> angulo is an outside the top 15 guy that loses when he steps up. can't tell if berlanga is a step up from guys he's beaten, and that's not saying much. this shouldn't be a shit or get off the pot kinda fight for edgar, but i kinda think it is.
SSR is supposed to be fighting Suriyan Satorn on Saturday night but I've been unable to find any information about the fight which could mean that it's been cancelled (?).
If it has been cancelled it means that SSR will have done less than 3 rounds in 21 months, or worse, less than a total of 5 rounds in 34 months by the time he fights in June - for a 35 year old that's far from ideal and may mean that Bam is fighting him at just the right time.

Agree with all!

That fight is not happening. I asked Matchroom, said it's a no go.
