The opponent is shit, thats the point!

As for people who say he should fight one of the better known and more worthy contenders, whats the point? Hes beaten any contender who's challenged his title for nearly 9 years. If he wins its expected - hes still got to fight the big names, whereas if he inconcievably loses thats royally fucked everything up. On top of that he could get injured again which would also mess up his plans.

This is simply a fight to win easily and get out of the way while maintaining his health and waiting for the big fights to come available early next year.
If he wanted an easy fight he could have fought Spina or Green, hell even the guy who knocked out Yusef Macke would have been "easy" but this is a 1 cent hooker if we're talking about easy that Joe's fighting!!!
