Is Turki presently the leader of boxing promotions similar to uncle Dana who is leader in MMA promotions?
Although he is not a licensed promoter, there is no doubt that Turki and Riyadh Season are the dominant force in this sport. They have practically created a monopoly with the amount they are able to spend.
I don’t know how Rolly Romero keeps getting these opportunities because he is not good at all and I expect him to get knocked out cold. Jose Ramirez has not looked great since losing his titles and is now just a gatekeeper. Haney shouldn’t have a problem winning that fight.
Perhaps it's because that Rolly is a good punching bag, Lol, but yeah, he was very lucky in getting this kind of opportunities. Like fighting Tank and then have a gifted win and a belt. Now he will have to face Ryan Garcia here, and even if he lost, he will have a good purse here.
Lopez vs. Barboza is the most competitive match and it will really depend on Teo’s mental state. If he is not focused, then he might get frustrated with the style of Barboza and will lose the fight.
He will have to focus, he shouldn't be sleeping on Barboza as it could derail all of his plans to fight Teo or Ryan in the future for a bigger paycheck. And we have seen that when Teo faces a good boxer, he seems to also up his fighting and his mentality.
