Wow, don't know what happened with Rigo but sign me up for this! Then the winner can take on Inoue for the undisputed title in early 2022.

Donaire going back to back with Oubaali and Casimero is awesome. All timer at 118 and below!

Okay, I guess this makes some sense.

Rigo vs Russell or Rodriguez next makes sense.

[Clegg]

Nonito ballsy as ever but seems like Rigo got screwed here. Not even pretending he has an injury or covid just taking the fight away from him.

I thought Rigo was the mandatory challenger. I hope he got some step aside money and guaranteed shot at the winner.
