its more about how they lose than anything else really.
devon vs ortiz...not really better than devon-berto..ortiz fukking quits when the shyt gets too tough..fight between 2 fighters who never fought consistently to their full potential in contrast to their actual skill level which is or was high for both
dude talks with marbles in his mouth
and it sounds like he is on the verge of overtraining...but he did get his weight down
Yeah I feel you on it being a lateral move, but Berto's failure with Porter is more recent so him getting another shot against a notable name right away was
Ortiz damn near popularized quitting in recent times, but he always gives the guy that stops him a decent buzz/boost. Devon deserves that, but after that he should be getting a fight with a Collazo or Algieri level opponent before getting match up with a Spence, Thurman, Swift, etc....

Devon vs Berto would have been better imo
this is about building back Devon and see where his ceiling at now that he is clean from pills I think beating Berto would tell more about how seriously we can count with him in the future than beating Ortiz. To be honest I didn't even know Ortiz is still active like that, he failed somany times... Berto too but Berto not miserably, he didn't quit multiple times like Ortiz and after the early big expactations Berto fell back to be some kind of a tough gatekeeper, he can hang tough with even the more serious names even though he loses to them, Ortiz on the other hand fell way moreback after the early big expectations due to the style he lost in. Berto definitely kept his relevancy more than Ortiz that's why I would have seen Devon vs Berto instead devon vs Ortiz
“I love that style matchup (with Hurd), and hopefully he puts the pressure on like Angulo and I can leave his face the same way when the fight is over.”
Lara should win that fight easy if it ever happens. Im talking 11-1 type of easy.
Lara is a bytch nikka for claiming that victory, one of the flukiest of fluke victories I recall in past years, Lara had to be praying heavy after getting off the canvas twice vs that bum, because divine intervention took place seeing that eye sprout after Angulo was eating those slaps for breakfast all night
If they have a 118 tournament, Im picking Rau'Shee Warren to win it all
he's going down to 115 remember?

Tete, Inoue and Nery (assuming he will look like he did so far w a clean test) should trounce all the other dudes in the division, Burnett included and also Warren included if he would move back up
What did I tell yall?

Mikey Garcia: Money Must be Right to Make Robert Easter Fight
By Keith Idec
A lightweight title unification fight against Robert Easter was among the options Mikey Garcia seriously considered before finalizing a shot at IBF junior welterweight champion Sergey Lipinets earlier this month.
Ultimately, though, neither Garcia nor Easter would’ve been paid enough to satisfy either fighter for that bout between undefeated lightweight champions. Instead, Easter (20-0, 14 KOs) will defend his IBF 135-pound championship against Javier Fortuna (33-1-1, 23 KOs) on January 20, three weeks before Garcia (37-0, 30 KOs) challenges Lipinets (13-0, 10 KOs) on February 10 in San Antonio.
“He’s willing to fight me and I’m willing to fight him,” Garcia told BoxingScene.com. “But when the purse was not really exciting, not what we both want, it’s hard to get those fights done. And people forget, everybody wants to get paid, everyone wants to get money. No one likes to take pay cuts.
“Whatever job you’re doing, if the boss comes and tells you, ‘I can only pay you this much because I don’t have it in the budget,’ I’m sure you’re gonna complain about why they’re cutting your money. Nobody likes to take a pay cut. So we also wanna make sure that we’re being taken care of financially, as well as in boxing.”
If Garcia returns to lightweight after facing Lipinets in a second straight fight at 140 pounds, Easter figures to be the second 135-pound champion on his list of options. The Oxnard, California, native also told BoxingScene.com that he plans to sit down again with Oscar De La Hoya and Golden Boy Promotions president Eric Gomez to negotiate a long-discussed lightweight title unification fight against WBA champion Jorge Linares (43-3, 27 KOs).
Venezuela’s Linares also would need to defeat the Philippines’ Mercito Gesta (31-1-2, 27 KOs) on January 27 in Inglewood, California, to remain a viable alternative for Garcia. If the Linares fight fails to materialize yet again, Garcia would welcome a battle with Easter, of Toledo, Ohio.
“I’m not saying he’s not worthy, but it just didn’t make [financial] sense for this fight in January,” Garcia said. “Maybe on another occasion we could actually get that fight [made], but it didn’t make sense for this fight.
“When it came down to the purses, again, if the guy can’t get paid what he’s asking for or generate the money that we need in sales to pay him what he’s asking for, or to get paid what we need to get paid, also, sometimes the budget ain’t gonna work.”
Garcia realizes he would encounter plenty of obstacles if he steps in the ring against Easter.
“Lipinets presents a size advantage as far as weight, but Easter presents height and reach advantages,” said Garcia, who’s five inches shorter than the 5-feet-11 Easter. “That could make for a very difficult fight. He could use his height and reach advantage over me and make things more complicated. So those are the challenges.”
Showtime will televise the Easter-Fortuna fight as part of a doubleheader January 20 from Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. In the main event that night, Errol Spence Jr. (22-0, 19 KOs), of DeSoto, Texas, will make the first defense of his IBF welterweight title against former two-division champion Lamont Peterson (35-3-1, 17 KOs), of Washington, D.C.
The Lipinets-Garcia fight also will be broadcast by Showtime on February 10 from the Alamodome.

I doubt anyone of them would "trounce" Warren....especially a PED cheat like Nery.
He's faster than all of them and naturally bigger than all of em. No way they'd have an easy time with Warren.
i dont think he has anything for king sor...he gasses out and he is not the hardest puncher..he will prolly get stopped.You right. I forgot he dropped down to 115
King Sor....you next
