Dan Rafael chat wrap 1/20:
- Fight isn't signed yet, but Pacquiao vs. Horn is happening.
- Arum wants Valdez to fight Donaire next. HBO turned it down for March. It could still wind up on the Pacquiao undercard, with Pacquiao-Horn taking place in Australia and Valdez-Donaire and other televised bouts taking place in the US.
- Broner vs. Pacquiao would be a good fight, but doesn't think they are going to make it.
- Chocolatito vs. Cuadras rematch? Chocolatito wins easier.
- Chocolatito vs. Ricardo Lopez? Love that fight. Lopez in a tough one.
- Which sells more PPV's: Canelo-GGG or Canelo-JCC? Canelo-GGG.
- ESPN has quality control of the GB cards for their fight series. They can't put on whatever main events and undercards they want. Must get approved.
- Had DeGale winning 114-112, but has no issues with a draw. That is a very fair result.
- Brook vs. Khan at 154? Doesn't think that Khan wants to fight at that heavy of a weight.
- Would like to see Brook vs. Khan. It is a big fight.
- Brook vs. Pacquiao? Bad matchup for Manny.
- Like to see Brook fight: Khan, Garcia-Thurman winner, Manny, and Spence.
- Lomachenko and Jizreel Corrales are talking about fighting. Likely could be at Nation Harbor, Maryland.
- Will we see Lomachenko vs. Gervonta Davis? As Floyd said they aren't pursuing that fight. Floyd knows that Lomachenko would toy with Davis. Has no problem if Davis isn't ready for that fight yet.
- Hoping Davis' first defense is in Baltimore. It would be a good crowd. A fight vs. Gamboa would be good.
- Lomachenko vs. Floyd at 130? 50/50.
- Fight he most wants to see at 168-175? Stevenson vs. Kovalev.
- Kovalev says he will never move up to HW because he isn't big enough. He has no plans to move up from 175.
- Brook vs. Spence? Tough fight, but lean towards Spence.
- What is next for Crawford? Maybe fighting in April. The fight that should be made is vs. Diaz.
- Hearn says the announcement of either HBO or Showtime for the Joshua vs. Klitschko fight should come any day.
- Danny Garcia being silent is basically saying it is okay for Angel to act the way he does. Doesn't think the NY commission should give Angel a licence based on how he acts.
- The WBC says they are not going to interfere with Angel being in Danny's corner, but may punish him.
- Rueben Guerrero would have kicked Angel's butt if he got out of line like he did vs. Thurman. Angel is a baffoon. Thurman showed great restraint.
- Mercer vs. Tua? Great fight, probably Tua.
- Paul Williams vs. Andrade? Williams.
- No rehydration clause for Canelo-JCC. Just a $1 million per pound penalty on the weigh in.
- Dorticos is supposed to fight Shumenov next. Dorticos' team won the purse pid.
- Unhappy with Lemieux vs. Stevens because it is not a main event fight and to start the year HBO is giving us garbage.
- Harder puncher: Lemieux or Stevens? Lemieux.
- Possibility we see Stevenson vs. Joe Smith in April.
- Thinks Rob Brant is ready to fight a contender.
for Team GGG unless him & Jacobs can do at least Canelo/Khan numbers
...too much indecisive shyt going on..nothing concrete
