im getting bored of kell & losing intrest. his career has lost momentum & meaningfull fights.

Next opponent will either be:

- Eastern European or South American, unheralded.
- A fighter fighting above his weight.
- Not a puncher.

Could be a combination of these factors. Fairly typical Powell and FW matchmaking.

Maybe he should fight someone to get a ranking with IBF and/or WBA. He's not going to get a shot at Manny's WBO strap any time soon.

They are hoping Manny vacates.

I know that was the case when he held the LMW title, but I can see him holding onto the WW title now.

I'm not sure he was ever expected to stay at LMW? It depends what mandatories they try and enforce I guess, I don't expect Pacquiao to skip to the WBO's beat.

The WBO will do whatever they can to keep Pacquiao as champion.

He generates far more for them in a single fight than Brook would in half a dozen bullsh1t title defences.

It's not as if Pacquiao is messing them about either, he's fighting a leading contender in his next fight, albeit a very faded one.

Colin lynes looked good beating bradley price ,with weight issues sorted might be interesting
