No to Abner Mares-Tomoki Kameda

[Violent Demise]

Agree. The kid has talent but probably needs a few more fights and a year or two more of seasoning before throwing him in the deep end.

Why Tomoki? IF we're gonna get a Kameda? Get Koki. He handled 118 and a damned tough guy in Munoz last time out. The other thing to do would be matchup Mares and Jhonny Perez again. Both are ready for a Saturday fight, right?

Then of course I wonder if Anselmo Moreno is in any kind of shape or if Christian Mijares would be ready to fight Vic again on short notice. Probably not.

Cuz Tomoki fights out of Mexico and is closely associated with Canelo Promotions who's owner (Alvarez) is signed to Golden Boy who is promoting the fight. Tomoki is also already in training for a fight set in May. It's the only reason he might be an option.

I appreciate the education!

If he steps in for the card so be it. Nothing to do with the tourney though even if he pulls the rabbit out of the hat.
