I meant for Anthony Yarde. There's really good fights on the domestic to be made, like has just been done with Josh Taylor and O'Hara Davies.

Sosa lucked out on that punch he was down on scorecards and caught Fortuna. I give him credit but I think if they fought again Fortuna would win.
But in comparing opponents. Do you think Sosa would beat either Walsh or Pedraza? How about Martinez at that stage Lomo fought him Martinez has gotten a lot of decision or both sides mostly on the winning side. Would that version really beat Walsh or Pedraza. Again what had Walters done at 130 unproven. How can u rate that win at 130 and he really beat Sosa.
Sosa didn't get lucky in my opinion. He showed his toughness, weathered the storm, and came back to grind Fortuna down. After that he beat Smith at least as convincingly as Pedraza did, and if you want to criticize performances, then Pedraza was given hell by Edgar Cherry and only squeaked out a split decision.

Sure, Walters had moved up to 130, but his previous showings lead me to believe that he's still a better fighter there than Walsh and Pedraza are. You single him out for being unproven, yet Walsh's best win is over Andrey Klimov; do you really think Walters would have any sort of problems with a guy that limited?

Martinez is limited, but he's a tough guy, was top ten, and can't just be ignored in the comparison when Davis's only two wins of note are over Pedraza and Walsh (assuming a win today of course).

Loma: Walters, Sosa, Martinez
Davis: Pedraza and Walsh

It's not clear at all that Davis would have the superior resume
I just think its funny we add Walters as a win at 130 when Lomo fought at 126 for the fight but ok. I'm not saying Davis resume is that much greater
but you never answered my question would that version of Martinez and Sosa would beat either Pedraza or Walsh?
Loma fought at 126 for Walters? No idea what you're talking about...

I think Sosa would have a great chance of beating Pedraza and Walsh, and I'd bet that if he fought both, he'd beat at least one of them. Similar case for Martinez (would it be that surprising if he did just a bit better than Cherry?), though I think he's more beatable.

It's strange to me that you think Pedraza and Walsh is clearly superior to Walters, Sosa, and Martinez.

This fight and card has got a lot of its hype and viewers from Floyd being the promoter

Great boxer but always on his terms imo

But will be nice to see Walsh doing the business - will put him in a good place going forward because of this!

Oh dear. Dreary verbal filler because Pigford finished early? They must have known it might happen.

Commentary team making it sound like Davis can't box but his amateur record seems smart enough.

Superior is the wrong term. I think if you look at most ratings Pedraza would be rated higher than all three of those fighters. If you a betting man
Walsh would be favorite over all except maybe Walters.

Why would Pedraza deserve to be ranked higher than all of them? Sosa has a better win than him, and did at least as well against their common opponent Smith. Pedraza also barely beat Edner Cherry a couple fights ago...

I think Walters would beat Walsh, and Sosa would have a great chance too. You talk about fighters being proven, but Sosa has beaten a better opponent than Pedraza and Walsh have, and Stephen Smith is probably also better than anyone Walsh has faced.

Did you think Loma and Walters fought at 126 by the way?
