The stale race stereotype bs is some sad stuff and looks like half tard Teo Lopez had a hand in it. Keyshawn needs to keep his head on straight.

anyone all on board for the second coming of Jared Anderson on undercard, don't call it a comeback! . Long road back for him I believe. Xander Zayas in co main and like to see his development. Great to see Abdullah Mason again too.

But can we talk about the elephant in the room with Zayas. He sits ranked 1,3 and 5 but fighting a fella not ranked top 10 by a single body. Small things but he's been holding onto a secondary steppingstone wbo belt. It's been around meaning nothing for 30 years yet here Zayas is holding it for 8 "defenses" now. Most it has had. They are really trying to slow walk Xander and I can't put my finger on why exactly.

I would love to see this card, but there's a high chance I will miss it. Will be looking forward to the Saddo RBR, which should be of its usual high quality.

I've seen some of that racial stuff on social media, heading into the Davis-Berinchyk fight... and I think the possibility of a setup should at least be entertained. Hell... we question things that are much more certain. Why not question whether this was done to drum up artificial hostilities between Keyshawn and Denys?

Glad to see you mention Xander, @Spicoli.

TBH, I've pondered the same thing. The kid looked red hot when he first became pro (I was even fortunate enough to see one of his early fights live in PR). At some point he made the move up to 154. Since then I'm not sure what to think. He's a good enough boxer and seems to have some pop. But yeah... seems he should be progressing faster than he is. Not sure why that is, either. He's still missing that litmus test that most upward moving fighters have to go through. He still hasn't had to navigate deep waters. I would LOVE to see the fight tonight vs Spomer, so I can fully gauge exactly where Xander is at.

Interesting thing about Spomer who admittedly I'm not too familiar with (I remember him from one of our boxing prediction contest weeks ). He's listed in BoxRec as a middleweight, although he has fought at superwelter for the last several years. Apparently he did start out as a middleweight before settling in at the lower weight.

We'll see what happens tonight.
