yea his boring ass sparring match against Formella was the lowest viewed pbc fox primetime event ever yet the LDBC heads will argue he too good for a mandatory split
or he should be allowed to pick and choose like he some kind of A side cash cow
the game is all fukked up now.
ducking young prospects is basic boxing politics but acting like you too good to fight a nikka you lost to is some ol other shyt
why ever become a gate keeper when you can just round robin yourself into perpetual title shots like he been doing
nikka really had the nerve to bring up ppl getting undeserved title shots

..the after new years boxing appetizer then we wait 3 weeks until the next card...but boxing being more quiet in the beginning of the year and then it picks up is the normi think 2017 was the last year where that wasnt the norm..where we got 3 months of wars off rip and then it cooled the fukk off for the majority of the year

Andrew Cancio Injured, Withdraws From February 20 Fight Against Gabriel Flores Jr.

Gabriel Flores Jr. will have to find another opponent against whom he can take a step up in competition.
BoxingScene.com has learned that Andrew Cancio has suffered a back injury and has withdrawn from their 10-round junior lightweight fight. The 20-year-old Flores (19-0, 6 KOs), a developing 130-pound prospect from Stockton, California, and the 32-year-old Cancio (21-5-2, 16 KOs), a former WBA 130-pound champion from Ventura, California, were supposed to fight February 20 as part of the Miguel Berchelt-Oscar Valdez undercard.
ESPN was set to televise the Flores-Cancio clash as the co-feature of a broadcast that’ll be headlined by Berchelt (38-1, 34 KOs) and Valdez (28-0, 22 KOs) in a 12-round fight for Berchelt’s WBC super featherweight title. Both bouts were officially announced Wednesday.

Flores is expected to remain on the card, in a televised fight against an opponent to be determined.
Cancio’s injury has further delayed his debut since signing a promotional contract with Bob Arum’s Top Rank Inc. last January.
His first fight with Top Rank was scheduled for last April 25. Cancio was set to battle Tyler McCreary (16-1-1, 7 KOs) in a 10-rounder on the Naoya Inoue-John Riel Casimero undercard at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.
That entire show was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Cancio’s Top Rank debut was rescheduled for July 16, but the Nevada State Athletic Commission wouldn’t approve multiple opponents proposed for Cancio to fight that night. Less than two months later, Cancio’s proposed fight against Saul Rodriguez (24-1-1, 18 KOs), which was tentatively set for September 12, fell apart over money.
Cancio, who works a full-time job operating a jackhammer for Southern California Gas Company, has not fought since Nicaragua’s Rene Alvarado (32-9, 21 KOs) upset him to win the WBA “super” 130-pound championship in November 2019. That one-sided bout was stopped after the seventh round.
Nine months earlier, Cancio upset Puerto Rico’s Alberto Machado by fourth-round knockout to win the WBA’s “super” title in the junior lightweight division. Cancio also knocked out Machado (22-2, 18 KOs) in the third round of their rematch in June 2019.
