2764277, OKS Spring/Summer Boxing Post

We've had some very good fights recently (Spence/Ugas, Serrano/Taylor, Stevenson/Valdez), and some other big ones coming up. I'll post the schedule (more or less) below.

5/7 - Canelo vs. Bivol
5/14 - Charlo vs. Castano 2, Ennis vs. Clayton
5/21 - Benavidez vs. Lemieux
5/28 - Tank vs. Romero (for as long as that lasts)
6/4 - Haney vs. Kambosos
6/7 - Inoue vs. Donaire 2
6/18 - Beterbiev vs. Smith Jr.
7/9 - Magsayo vs. Vargas
7/23 - Usyk vs. Joshua 2

A few random thoughts on what's happened and what could happen:

- Spence vs. Ugas went as expected: exciting, but predictable. As much as boxing politics can get in the way sometimes, we actually might've lucked up. The timing is better than ever for Spence vs. Crawford. It would now be for undisputed, and both are coming off of big wins vs. top 5 WW's. Even bigger is that Bud is a free agent.
- Serrano vs. Taylor is FOTY so far IMO. Lubin vs. Fundora would be a second, but the ladies delivered on a level that exceeded expectations. I hope they rematch.
- On my boxing pod, we did a p4p ranking at the beginning of the year, and I had Stevenson at #10. My co-hosts were saying it may have been a bit premature, but I'm thinking it may have been too low.
