I agree. Good options. I think the only reason provo is getting called up is because Canelo destroyed any credibility left in beating kirkland with that massacre. Same type of fight at middle. Only provo coming up, has been through a few wars and used to train at the wild card (joel diaz won't change much--probably nil this soon) so they have the blue print on him already. All that becomes a rather disappointing reason to give him 16 mil (isnt that cottos going rate with roc nation for a fight) for beating provo at middle.
