Davis aims to shine in co-feature; Katie Taylor fight set; Shields-Marshall card rescheduled; FITE in Focus; Paul-Silva undercard; Quick hits; Show and tell
PS: Great to see Dan standing up against Hearn these past 24 hours or so. About time someone [rival promoters aside] who's well respected in the industry did!
well if Shakur didn't want to leave room for excuses, he shoulda made weight. Really disappointing to see this, and more so, his cavalier attitude towards it.
beyond that, great notebook, Dan. Random reactions:
- I can't stand Berlanga (he's a dreadful watch and vastly over-rated), but I'd welcome the Ryder fight to, as they say, shit or get off the pot. Hope that happens (as much as I have energy to hope anything about Edgar Berlanga)
- There's a good chance Warrington gets upended by another Mexican in Lopez. He's on quite a roll, and Josh seems to have peaked already
- I think we all figured Eddie/Buatsi wouldn't take the Pascal fight, but I sure hope we don't get Pascal-Eifert, which could very well end with a multiple doper getting another belt.
- Hurricane Fiona doesn't even want the Andrade-Parker fight
Good to see another Undisputed fight on the way. Some people giving Butler zero chance. Of course he's the underdog, but what should he do: Just give his belt to Inoue and forego a likely career-best payday and the chance to fight a Top 3 P4P great?!
3 fighters in the article - Ryder, Warrington and Buatsi [all British and Matchroom] have had 4 fights each in the last 3 years. How on earth does this make sense - for anyone involved?
Be interesting to see what Davis has in the pro ranks when he fights a good, competent opponent with real ambition rather than someone just turning up for a payday.

Great content; certainly a bumper edition today!
