By Cliff Rold - Any talk at 160 lbs. about a big fight, a fight anyone would want to see, has centered in recent months on two people who will not be the ring this weekend.
Saturday night will be a chance to change, or at least add, to the conversation.
While it might look like it, it won’t be a classic crossroads bout. Those feature a fight clearly in ascendance against one believed to be on the decline. The former part of the equation is in place; the latter features a fighter last seen losing in competitive fashion to one of the best fighters of all-time…almost two years ago.
In other words, it’s hard to say whether or not the elder man in this battle is on the decline or not because no one has seen any evidence one way or the other. [details]
