    • If Kenzie Morrison beats Hasim Rahman Jr in a couple of weeks (and he might not), they have to make Balogun – Morrison.

      • Not a bad idea. Feeling like Balogun will be 2-0 w/2 KOs against the Morrison family if he ends up facing off with Kenzie

  • Mike Balogun was a stud reviever and did well in his transition to the nba. Looks like he will do will in this new sport boxing
