Oba was underrated as hell. Just happened to come along at a time where the WW division has some heavy hitters at the top.

Didn't realize he was in this bad shape. Damn shame

yeah and by the time they all moved on to 154..he was pretty much done

@David_TheMan just Finished watching this, Mikey stated that his style and maidanas are completely different, so there's no reasoning him to try and use the game plan Maidens used on AB for their fight,and also he doesn't know if his power will carry over but that,thats not Wat every one should be looking for anyways

Yeah I saw the video, what he said had nothing to do with what I was critiquing Robert for saying.
Again Robert isn't Mikey's real trainer anyway.

WBA: Dorticos Now WBA 'Regular' Champ, Shumenov is Out

On Monday, the World Boxing Association championships committee released a resolution regarding the status of the cruiserweight division.

Firstly, it was made public the relinquishment of the 'regular' division champion - Beibut Shumenov (17-2, 11 KOs) - because he can no longer fight based on medical recommendation after suffering an injury to the eye.

For that reason, it was decided to promote Cuban Yunier Dórticos (21-0, 20 KOs), who was supposed to fight Shumenov, from interim to regular champion. The move eliminates the interim title.

Second, Russian boxer Denis Lebedev was authorized to fight Australian Mark Flanagan for the the WBA's "super" cruiserweight championship. However, the winner must fight Dorticos in 120 days, in order to have only one champion in this division.

The resolution was sent to all parties involved and its intention is to ensure the activity of the division that has gone a year without a title fight.

IN OTHER NEWS: ORANGE, Calif. - Junior lightweight Michael Dutchover (4-0, 4 KOs), a highly accomplished amateur and recently turned professional, highlights Friday night's "Path to Glory" undercard from the Doubletree Hotel in Ontario, Calif.

Watch Dutchover vs. Carrizoza and the rest of the 6-fight card on TB Presents: Path To Glory, live streaming on ThompsonBoxing.com and Facebook Live beginning at 7:45 p.m. PST / 10:45 p.m. EST.

Tickets for "Path to Glory" are priced at $40, $60, & $100 and are available for purchase online at ThompsonBoxing.com, or by calling 714-935-0900.

Dutchover, who trains in Southern California but resides in Midland, Tex., faces his toughest opponent to date: once-beaten Miguel Carrizoza (10-1, 2 KOs) of Hermosillo, Mex.

The bout marks Dutchover's second 6-round fight of his young career. He stormed into the paid ranks with four straight knockout wins.

Dutchover had a successful amateur run that saw him win nine national titles, a bronze at the 2015 U.S. Olympic Trials, and a runner-up finish at last year's National Golden Gloves competition. Dutchover, 19, believes he was built to fight professionally.

Detailed opponent scouting reports in the early years of a boxer's professional career are often not available. Dutchover has an idea of what to expect from Carrizoza, but he will rely mostly on his extensive amateur background.

Anybody have any questions they want me to ask Broner or Garcia tomorrow? @Newzz ?
maybe if they could break it down how they see this fight style wise or any of them thinking they have to alter something in their style in order to win.

Do they prepare differently for every opponent or the same routine every time?

also do they plan to fight Crawford afterwards (the winner)?
