I enjoyed the fight, but this guy is not elite. His hand speed is slow and his timing is a bit off, maybe because of the hand speed. I think Eggington saw most of his punches with some notable exceptions as when Sam's gumshield flew through the night air

Typical alphabet nonsense. An unproven prospect against a retread journeyman in an eliminator.

Neither were in the WBA top 10. I doubt it’s for mando, when Kurbanov and Madrivmov #1 & #2 fight next week.

but who knows apparently Berlanga is WBA mandatory now instead of Morrell, unless that confusion got cleared up

Berlanga is in line for Morrell, while Morrell is in line for Canelo.

That makes sense, I figured it got cleared up.

Give a bit of respect. Eggy's a gatekeeper not a Journeyman!
