Russell would start as favourite for me too, and Loma is obviously top dog and imo future p4p number 1, that being said part of me thinks anyone who wants to beat him should try and do it now before he gets another 8-10 fights under his belt and becomes even tougher to beat, there would certainly be no shame in losing to Lomachenko, though as you say the division is really stacked and so many good fights out there. Selby would be a fool no to take the warrington fight as soon as possible, good pay day, profile booster and as selby said himself and I heartily agree, an easy nights work for him

Russell Jr really wants to get back in with Loma, it was a right scrap last time and I reckon both are only getting better, they're the top 2 for me at the weight.

Best thing for Selby would be the Warrington, Frampton then one of them.

I'd agree totally with that path for Selby, both good fights he could and should win, then onto a huge fight against loma or russell, after a lomachenko russell rematch, all sounds pretty tasty, he is second favourite against both, I think he would fair better against russell though, I think Loma is all wrong for him, I'm a Selby fan and followed his brother a lot at the amateurs too, so really hope Lee gets some recognition, because amongst all this we have 12 world champs thing, he is one of the ones who for me is a proper world level operator. Get them domestic wins then in there with the big three, no shame at all in losing to a risk, despite what the modern fan has been brain washed to believe

Gary Russell Jr looked good against poor Hyland Saturday night, seriously rapid hand speed, really wants the rematch with Loma, also Santa Cruz and Selby mentioned, tasty division.

I think he'd beat Selby.

Frightening hand speed wasn't it lol .

Hasn't Loma move up to Super Featherweight now?

I know Hyland was overmatched, but my god he was quick, el rapido.

Ya, Russell Jr said he'll go up and meet him, really keen to avenge the loss, fair play to him on that front, if it doesn't happen right away I see both guys carrying on winning until it inevitably does, two class operators.

Chocolitito v Estrada 2 this weekend

And it's always good to see golovkin even if it's an easy fight .

 

[l4toffee]

Terms agreed for brook v lamont Peterson.

better than his last 3 fights but he should of been fighting this level of opponent 18 months ago .

And he's a light welterweight not even a proper welter .

Tony Bellew vs. Ilunga Makabu on 5/29 at Goodison Park

April 20th, 2016 - Post Comment »

By Scott Gilfoid: Former two-time world title challenger Tony Bellew (26-2-1, 16 KOs) will be facing Ilunga Makabu (19-1, 18 KOs) on May 29 for the vacant WBC cruiserweight title at Goodison Park Stadium, Liverpool, UK.

The fight is now official. Bellew and his promoters at Matchroom Sport were pushing for the fight to get staged at Goodison Park, and now they’ve gotten their way. It’s up to Bellew now to see if he can take advantage of having the fight staged in his own hometown or not.

hardly the big massive fight hearn has been promising, a good fight but brook beats him comfortably. I'd rather see Brook vs Liam smith than that

I don't dislike Brook, he's a decent fella but his career is being criminally mismanaged by Hearn. You're spot on he should've been fighting Peterson 3 fights ago, but they had to pick someone now to avoid Errol Spence!
