I acknowledge every reason against this. But I really like this fight. An old school HBO BAD type of fight. Huge career & financial fork in the road for both guys. I would love to see this on the big platform that is Cinco de Mayo weekend. BTW, contrast that with Vergil Ortiz. He keeps allowing himself and his handlers to hamstring his career. "It gets late, early out here" Yogi Berra.

Lamont is no Shakur but he's still really talented. Will be a good bull vs matador match up

I actually favor Lamont. He was developed by GBP and wasn’t handed anything. Zepeda has been up and down. Zepeda can win with activity, takes rounds that way. Lamont doesn’t press the action enough sometimes. Needs to shake that “B Side opponent” mentality. Those recent draws weren’t completely unjustified. Interesting match up like you said.

I thought roach beat Cruz and should've beat Tank if the point was rightfully deducted. Looking back Herring defeating him easily was weird. I think that fight was outdoors at a baseball stadium... whatever, zepeda is tough and im looking forward to it. Wbc bs aside this is a very good fight and meaningful fight for division.

A very good fight is going to happen I am picking roach to win in a close one

I cant wait for the first Interim-Interim champ. The actual champ>interim champ>interim-interim champ. We'll have title elimination fight for no 1 contender and not include the interim or the interim-interim champ.

“ In a major surprise, however, not only was WBC interim titlist Jadier Herrera not elevated to the full titleholder…”

I’ll continue my bitching and moaning about the sanctioning bandits by countering that this is hardly a surprise, as these thieves do whatever they want, unapologetically. Apparently Trump’s America has no borders, as everyone thinks they’re a dictator and rules don’t apply.

When you received comment from Sillyman, Dan, did he even bother to justify this bullshit or just say it is within their rules to do whatever the fuck they want?

Fun fight, but it shouldn’t be happening for the WBC belt.
