2x...and defending
Dan Rafael chat wrap 2/26:
- What has been agreed to for Ward-Kovalev? The money and where the fight cannot be (Oakland or Russia).
- Diego Magdaleno was released from his contract, so he is a free agent. Jessie Magdaleno won last week so he needs to start stepping up, no more babying him.
- Frampton or Quigg? Frampton in a tough pick.
- Angel Garcia is much different in person than he is for the cameras (Dan's experience). Reader wrote in saying he met Angel and the airport and he was very nice and humble, his personality was not like he was in interviews.
- Crawford by KO around RD 9. Ends the fight dominantly after a competitive start.
- Purses for tomorrow: Crawford - $1.21 mil, Lundy - $150k, Verdejo - 125k, Silva - 50k.
- You don't turn down title eliminator opportunities (Parker), believes he is ready for a Takam fight.
- Antoine Douglas' prospects as a MW are good. Not ready for the top guys. His next fight is a good test. Khurtsidze is a better opponent than Soliman.
- HBO not buying Walters-Lomachenko isn't because they aren't interested, it is because Time Warner has put HBO Sports under a massive budget crunch. They have to decide if it is worth spending 7 figures to get that card vs. other programming (what gets the best ratings, etc.).
- Suspects Thurman vs. Porter fight will be back on around June. The Mohegan will have every opportunity to secure the fight again.
- Heard the ticket sales for Thurman vs. Porter were really good.
- Tickets for Canelo vs. Khan are supposed to range from $150-1,500.
- TR has a hold for the Theater at MSG on June 11.
- Verdejo is a bigger star at this point in his career than Cotto was.
- Buy or Sell: Broner will be on BKB in the next 5 years? Sell. BKB won't be around that long.
- Has heard no rumors on what is next for Danny Jacobs.
- Supposedly Jack vs. JCC is going to happen May/June.
- Expects Spence vs. Algieri to be a coming out party for Spence.
- Buy a stock in 1 fighter: Spence or Verdejo? Verdejo because he will be bigger financially, although Spence is probably more talented.
- Best trash talkers currently? Lundy has been good, Haye, Broner, BHop, Kovalev.
- 99% sure Herrera vs. Matthysse will happen.
- Reader wrote in: Will the 16 oz. Tecate cans with Canelo's picture only have 15.5 oz. of beer in them?
- Does not believe Canelo will fight GGG in September, but does believe the fight will happen eventually.
- Believes that Canelo is too financially important to GB and ODH knows the GGG fight is very dangerous. Expects Canelo to fight at Cowboys Stadium in September, likely at 154 vs. a belt holder, possibly could be stripped or drop the 160 lb title. GGG vs. Canelo is more likely for May of 2016.
- If Canelo does not fight GGG this fall and does in fact fight a fighter from the 154 lb division, believes the media will respond negatively towards him.
- Still not sure who he thinks wins Sadam Ali vs. Jessie Vargas.
- Picking Huck to win tomorrow.
- The GRJ fight and the others on the Porter-Thurman card will be rescheduled. No info on when yet.
- Ceja vs. Ruiz? Ceja.
- Maidana vs. Gatti at 140? What a fight!
- Told that Oscar Riva's eye tests were very bad. Probably will never be licensed in the US again.
- Fury vs. Klitschko rematch was already negotiated in the first fight contract. All they need to determine now is location and date. Expects around May/June.
- Fighter who had the "best-last fight"? Calzaghe comes to mind. Lewis vs. Vitali. Froch vs. Groves was good as well.
- Does not think pro's and amateurs should be competing against each other in the Olympics.
- Better all time: Floyd or JCC Sr.? Floyd.
- Vargas vs. Salido has been agreed to. Salido has the contracts and once he finalizes we will get the fight June 4 at StubHub on HBO. Orozco could potentially be on the undercard.
- If Cotto chooses to fight it will likely be June 18th at Barclay's (MSG has a concert that night).
- Crawford vs. Postol this year? Tends to doubt it.
- Povetkin's side won the purse bid. Fight will not necessarily take place in Russia. DiBella told him that if the fight takes place in Russia he hopes Putin can attend so he can see Povetkin get knocked out.
- What has been agreed to for Ward-Kovalev? The money and where the fight cannot be (Oakland or Russia).
- Diego Magdaleno was released from his contract, so he is a free agent. Jessie Magdaleno won last week so he needs to start stepping up, no more babying him.

I assume the champ always gets the bigger piece of the pie
Wilder won't hold, he doesn't know how towilder gonna be bumping alone in Moscow
if he wins will he pop up dirty?
should be good though...I know a lot of people didn't think he would take this fight but wilder proving them wrong.
man wilder better not let him get in...keep him at bay with the jabs n 1-2. I know klits held that breh everytime he got in close, povetkin fans still mad bout that shyt.
He'll need a ko, he'll get fuked in a decesion

#FutureHive
I was wondering why I had boxing in my mentions and I'm not that big of a fan
. Future has so many quotables 
I was wondering why I had boxing in my mentions and I'm not that big of a fan
#FutureHive....we all over
they better and i hope the undercard..whatever it will be...is dope
i dont know about this
i'll be surprised if it isnt
verdejo though is already having hand issues
dude must have some serious retinal damage or a eye disease like glaucoma
agreed
hbo...make it happen
has roc nation not learned already from having concerts on fight cards..them strong faced broads and the reggaeton were fukking up my buzz during cotto-canelo 
i still say throw it on TruTv..fukk all the bullshyt
Wilder will have to knock out Povetkin cold at least three times on some fighting game final boss shyt to win in Russia. This is a step up but i think he's going to rise to the occasion. Now for Loma vs Walters is 50/50 to me. Although i thought Walters won against Sosa i felt like he didn't adjust enough so it wouldn't be in the judge's hands. He's not getting away with no adjustments against Lomachenko for sure. Still as great as Lomachenko's boxing ability is we could end up seeing a classic case of an boxer getting walked down late in the fight so we will have to just wait and see.
Looking forward to these fights
