Condolences to Fightnews.com® Editor-in-Chief Karl Freitag on the passing of his father Frederick Freitag this week in Los Angeles.
Dogboe – Ramirez might be for the full WBO featherweight title. Navarrete fights Liam Wilson up a weight in a few weeks, if he wins, he may vacate and this is their #1 and #3 contenders.
Yoshino can fight. He cleaned out lightweight in Japan, retiring Ito and stopping Nakatani, he won’t beat Stevenson, won’t come close, but may give him a decent fight.
Diego Sanchez is definitely not someone who should be going into bare knuckle, punch drunk already
Can’t help thinking Ramirez ducked Prograis.
— Additional condolences Karl for the loss of your father…R.I.P…
