His title defense is the co-main event at the Golovkin-Murray showdown in Monaco. I hope they broadcast this fight. Would be a great set up for a unification match later this year.

I saw that today! I'm excited to see the fight and hope they broadcast it as well.

He is like a young version of Narvaez offensively (not even close defensively)... a fighter who i used to consider top5 most entertaining for years...

Would be cool to see. When's the last time HBO televised a 105 pound fight? Maybe Calderon?
I've read they're pushing for Gonzalez/Estrada II though which should be awesome.

Yes it would. That would be a must view card with all those fights on there.

Let's be honest Zou Shiming is the big money fight at these lower weight classes. It would make sense for HBO to build up a few other fighters they could feed to him.

There is always hope, depends how much Rodney Berman bigs Hekkie Budler.

his last fight was on channel 5 in the uk and whilst entertaining I thought he had a really weird style , all jerky and low crouching , very odd and had pink hair too -never seen that on a boxer before !
