Does Dib beat Luevano?

You have to admire his will to fight and be the best.

Sugar Shane obviously has a lot of faith in him. I can't help thinking cash out though...

I wouldn't be suprised, if Dib puts on a stellar performance and wins this.

I know its a big ask.

But confidence and faith can do some funny things with a fighter.

I didn't see Leuvanos last fight. But apparently he didn't look to good. So hopefully Billy gets him at a good time.

Would be really good if Billy won this fight convincingly after his last controversial win over that South African. :TU: :box:

Young Billy will need to fly over the judges from his last fight if he wants to have his glove held up at the end of the fight as we all know the USA is land of the free and the home of the rorts.

Yeah, i think your spoton Marlin, either Dib wins this or Sugar Shane is looking for new talent.

Steven Luevano performed extremely well against a tougher-than-advertised Mario Santiago in his last outing. He showed that he can bang as well as box and acquitted himself well in what became a war of attrition.

Luevano's heart, aggression and high punch output saw him finish the stronger and earn a respectable draw after Santiago took over in the middle rounds.

Really can't see what Dib can do to trouble him.

Check out the impressive record of Steven Luevano, who has fought an number of tough 12 rounders defending his title. As Mano Loco above mentions, Steven is one tough hombre and our Billy may be rueing his faith in Sugar Shane and will be in future beware of similar soft shoe shufflers, dancing down the sidewalks.

Just saw that the IBO have ordered Dibb to have a rematch with Marali within 90 days or they'll strip him, as they scored the fight for the South African so another gifted decision for Billy.

I pick Luevano to stop him similar to what he did against Nicky Cook, he's too strong and experinced for Billy, certainly Billy won't get away with show boating etc. Just hope it doesn't go to points as Billy has the knack of getting decisions in his favour!
