fornicating atrocious stuff for such a prestigious belt, but if he's highest ranked available fighter, it can't be helped.

The WBC title gets less and less prestigious all the time. It's often the case that their guy isn't THE guy now.

Lol Dirrell is too funny. After Benavidez camr in as replacement for Smith, Dirrell is like f*ck that shit, gotta fake an injury out of this one.

Him and his brother aren't active enough for me to consider them as boxers, I hate boxers who fight once a year if they can help it.

David has been quite active this will be his third fight this year and he fought 4 times last year.

Shame the Dirrell fight isn't happening ... I was looking forward to that.

I think Jose got shot so that explains why he isn't fighting.
