plus we all seen what Boots just did to a guy we all regarded higher than Norman.
it's always been clear who really wanted this fight more, unless you just happen to not like Boots.

Nahhh.. You the only person I seen calling an barely active 12-13 fights Stanionis with no notable wins on his record “elite”… I don’t know that he’s better than Norman at all.. but what WE do know is Eddie Hearn is a bullshyt artists that knows how to manipulate the media and dumb fans into somehow believing everybody is ducking his fighter or pricing themselves out. Thats part of his playbook. negotiate in bad faith then run to the media. Plus WE all saw who Boots called out during the post fight interview after his fight with Stanionis.. Brian Norman name wasn't mentioned

My personal #1 fight of all time.

It just kept getting better and better as the fight went along. The first 7 rounds were already excellent, then the 8th round was Round of the Year material. Then eventually came the 10th round, one of the best ever.

The fight was not only brutal and dramatic, but also a clinic on infighting.

watching that shyt as it happened...the televised opener with JMM vs Polo was great too..but that got completely overshadowed ...Castillo was hard to hurt upstairs and Chico was on a run of back to back to back wars..it was a great fight on paper but I did not expect what played out

I wonder if they can finesse this into a Mando for a belt, in theory they could make this for WBA as Mell is Champ and Recess for WBA and WBC so winner gets Tim/Fundora Winner (assumeption is WBA gets elevated as bud likely vacates and retires after Sept. If Bud Loses and decides to come back he could also face the Winnter of Mell/Thurman for WBA as this is the biggest fight left in his career money wise and would be a grudge match with story behind it.

Interesting interview. I agree with him as far as looking like he's supposed to be at 147. My problem is he makes all the excuses in the world for himself and shyts on Haney for losing to Garcia given the circumstances.
