I don't know where he is.
Once Puma decided his direction, it's all gone quiet with JBR.
Any ideas ?

Take your meds

Pound for Pound Top 10 boxer not fought since November 2024
I want to know what is going on

A 5 month layoff means he's missing ?

2021 = 1 fight
2022 = 3 fights
2023 = 2 fights
2024 = 2 fights

so he averages 2 fights a year over the last few years, he could still fit in 2 this year. he hasnt really been gone way longer than we should expect

id guess he'll fight the ioka-rodriguez winner

Ok it doesn't mean he's missing but he's a pretty high profile figure on the global scene right now.
I'm interested what's going on.
He should be getting more press considering his position.

Confirmed next fight

Same day as Usyk v Dubois 2

Fundora versus Tsyzu is also July 19, I think.

Who says on that date
Great if it is
London Texas Las Vegas same day
Saturday 19th July

Phumelela Cafu
11-0 8 KO's
26 years old
There's good things to say about his style.
Looks vulnerable to the body though.

Just thought I'd bump this up in light of the Ioka v Martinez 2 result

bam could have another strong year if he beats cafu and then martinez. just wish he would fight a bit more, fit in 3 a year rather than 2. he's winning handily enough to do it.

Tell them that, they were happy with the 5 month layoff while I'm asking where he is.

As a fan I'd like to see him unify.
I'm along for the ride and hope he does it.

If he gets through this surely he's in the position to unify

Remember Cafu is 26
I'd take a good look at him and not slip up on a Junior Jones like Marco Antonio Barrera did.

Cafu has skills
He's a bit wild and wide at times though.
Looks to commit way too much energy early considering he has decent boxing ability.
He needs to be alert but on his boxing game at the same time.

Great date for Jesse Rodriguez to make his mark
Look at who is opening during the day
It's one of those prove yourself moments

I see the Pacquiao v Barrios fight has been moved to the 25th July
Changes the days event doesn't it
Who can fill in there

Heard the Bam v Cafu fight is selling well
Pacquiao does go same day after all
July 19th is lit

Fortunately different time zones so they shouldn't clash.
