Is that right?

Definitive end of the road at top level for Mares after Davis knocks him out.

I'm thinking he should go for Berchelt at least. Davis has trouble making 130 and Abner is already blown up at 125. Not a good look for Tank. Will this be on DZZY?

[PotentialToast]

Tevin Farmer is fighting whenever he wants and because of it, he is never far from camp. Davis sadly runs the risk of being drained to get back from where he is now to 130. I know Tyson lost 10 stone and got back in the ring. Is Davis going for the record?

A bunch of tune-ups in February 2019, you got 'Runtime' vs. Lopez about a week before Gervonta-Mares, then about a week later you got Santa Cruz and Figueroa, THEN Anthony Dirrell vs. Avni Yildirim for the WBC 168 vacant title.

I thought this would be in Jan.
Maybe the Castano-Lara card is Jan?

Davis did say he's fighting 3 times this year.

Feb - Mares
Jun - Machado
Nov - Farmer
2020 - Bercelt

If Davis starts training now maybe he can get down to 130 by weigh in. He looks like Big Baby's mini me right now.

it's tuneup season!

Not a bad fight, but Farmer would've been better! Berchelt is the man to beat @ 130! I don't know if Floyd can work a deal with Zanifer, for Tank vs. Berchelt on Showtime, but it will be easier than making a deal with Oscar or Hearn @ DAZN! First things first, handle biz with Mares! Then a unification @ 130, or move to 135!
