WBO President, Gustavo Olivieri, SQ. Revealed that Terns Craford would not return to “154” and would empty its interim belt with that company.

This is a step that was expected by Crafford (1-5, 5KO) because he was making a lot of money challenging Canalo Alvarez for his title on the Super Middle Way on September 7th.

Crafford's exit

After that paid, 38 -year -old Craftdord Cufford will take a huge salary to return to 154 to fight the current champion Sebastian Fundora, which involves a lot of risk for it due to its size and lack of advanced age.

Returning to 154 will be difficult for Creford to fight with young fighters with size and skill, who only fight once a year. From the fight of Alvarez he returned after his victory or defeat, he would be 39 years old and you couldn't expect that he would fight 6'5 1/2 ″ Stork Fundora.

It is unclear what Craford will do after the fight with Canallo. Obviously, he is counting on the canlo and counting for a profitable re -match. This would be the ideal situation of Nebraska Native Craftdord. However, if he loses to Canallo, he wants to stay at 168, it would be interesting to see that he returned to 154 or retired.

If they want to use him for fights, he can still make huge money by fighting at the Riyadh season events. They seem to be the choice of Craftdord, so it should still be effective if cautiously matches. If you do not match Crafford against big fighters like David Benavidage or David Maral because he would like to cut them because of their size, strength and youth. He would like to do better against anyone like Edgar Berlanga. It would be a fun fight for entertainment, seeing Crafford Berlonga worse than Canllo.

Rally

Oliviri suggests that #1 WOB 154-LB contestant Gender Zayas (21-0, 13 KO) should be mandatory for Sebastian Fundora. If this happens, Saturday's WBC/WBO Fundora (21-1-1, 13 KO) and Cordale Booker will take 120 days to defend against the top rank-promoted Zaus.

The top rank has defended 22 -year -old Gender Zayas just as Berlonga was with them. So, it is hard to know if he is good. His opposition was so horrible that he had no way of knowing whether he had a hype or a real talent like Berlonga. The top rank is trying to turn the inventory into a star to bring money to the New York region.

There is no Puerto Rican star to fill the shoes left in Miguel Koto. Berlonga is not a man because he needs to be protected to do well. It is questionable whether Zaus may be the next quota because he cannot bribe and if he is thrown with one of the top boys in 5, such as Bakhram Murtazaliev, Virgil Ortes Jr. or Serhi Bohchuk. It would be a bad idea to keep Zais with someone in power.

Re: WBO Jr.
Middleweight Division (£ 154.)

1 We have confirmed that Terrence Croford will not return to 154 pounds, will not return to the department, and after the formal announcement of Canllo/Craftdord will release its interim WHB. Therefore, his compulsory challenger status is the key. /
