Marcus Browne trying to get a :cape:fight N he buried on the prelims :aicmon:

He could have taken the mandatory against Gvozdyk based on his ranking but like Eleider Alvarez he wanted no part of that...

WBC move to bullet point the hold-up of the light-heavyweight mandatory ahead of final decision

*2017 WBC Convention ruling - Champion Adonis Stevenson is scheduled to make a mandatory defense against No. 1 ranked Eleider Alvarez in December. Number 2 Oleksandr Gvozdyk against number 4 Marcus Browne was approved as a final eliminator and when we know the availability of Barrera, he will fight the highest available contender.

*Results from the ruling

- Stevenson request to fight vs former champion Badou Jack.

- Alvarez reports he has agreed to step aside.

- Marcus Browne Withdraws from fighting the final elimination

- WBC orders Gvozdyk vs Sullivan Barrera as a final eliminator. Barrera withdraws from the fight.

since then Alvarez also wihdrew from a title eliminator vs Gvozdyk

I'm not even that high on Gvozdyk but these dudes be like

when an eliminator opportunity against him comes up :heh:

now Barrera's case is understandable, he can go for a belt in March, that's the shorter path for him, but why Marcu Browne didn't take it? To fight Ntou?

Sooner or later these dudes will have to fight someone quality to get a belt because lhw is strong now so I don't know what are they waiting for. Alvarez is a lsot case, Browne maybe prays that neither Jack nor Gvozdyk beat Stevenson so he can catch Stevenson like a year later when he is already 41-42 or what...

like how can you build up future opponents for your elite/stars when you do shyt like that.:snoop:


Bob is 10 times better at creating opps...HBO as well


Look at PBC... pick up Rios/Vargas they been on the shelf for over a year...give them one fight N throw them in a big fight

Meanwhile hbo/Bob gives these nikkas 3-4 fights in the same timeframe N nikkas be like Curtis Stevens is byke:gladbron:

I wonder if this fight Peterson can exploit some of Spence’s flaws and other boxers will be willing to fight him.

And those weaknesses are?
Aside from being not too hard to hit, Spence is your typical pressure fighter in that he looks great coming forward, but he doesn't look good going backwards. This is something I noticed since the Bundu fight.

Peterson is gonna bring the fight to him, and I think that will show once again

He's not as athletic going back, looks foreign and awkward. Dude is a entertaining fighter, I wonder what happens when he faces a good jab from distance and is unable force the issue

he comes at you in straight lines with that push and slide. push off the back foot slide the front foot.

he only moves in straight lines. straight in. straight out. so you can turn him.

he likes to walk into punches.

and he has to set his feet to punch. so you give him a headache you make him have to move his feet all the time. stand right in front of him and he'll hit you a lot.
