The size of the miss suggests to me that he didn\u2019t try to completely juice himself and instead realized he wasn\u2019t going to make it and just got low enough to ensure the commission wouldn\u2019t cancel the fight.<\/p>\n<p id=\"0dffTK\">De Los Santos (16-2, 14 KO), who had no issues on the scale, can still claim the belt if he emerges victorious.<\/p>\n<p id=\"jUIBFP\">Sam Noakes, Abdullah Mason, and (somehow) Gabriel Flores Jr own the top three spots in the WBO\u2019s rankings as of May 26th. Mason fights Jeremia Nakathila tomorrow evening, while Noakes picked up a quick knockout last month. It\u2019d be a very ambitious move to have them fight for the now-vacant belt, but Top Rank and Queensberry are no strangers to linking up for big events, so it\u2019s probably doable.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Keyshawn Davis\u2019 title reign is over without a single defense, as the former Olympian weighed in at a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":163968,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4108],"tags":[10520,1935,4496,13000,24388,31807,163,10522,64452,10521,11352,28346,68781,68782,79,16,15,9842,19458],"class_list":{"0":"post-163967","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-bad","9":"tag-boxing","10":"tag-boxing-news","11":"tag-by","12":"tag-davis","13":"tag-four","14":"tag-front-page","15":"tag-hook","16":"tag-keyshawn","17":"tag-left","18":"tag-lightweight","19":"tag-loses","20":"tag-misses","21":"tag-pounds","22":"tag-sports","23":"tag-uk","24":"tag-united-kingdom","25":"tag-wbo","26":"tag-weight"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114638566377316425","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/163967","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=163967"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/163967\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/163968"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=163967"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=163967"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=163967"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
