3 fights for Trev since July 2016, 2 against guys with a combined record of 4 wins 44 losses, and the other against 40 year old Cruiser BJ Flores. How is he ranked at all? Just shows how much boxing is about avoiding the big guns, get the right promoter, and wait for your big shot.
Alex Leapai meanwhile has fought 3 times since May 2015, and fought Boxrec ranked 582 Thomas Peato and 43 year old Roger Izonritei (ranked 412 - twice)
Hard to get someone on 2 weeks notice though.
I agree that JP should wait until the dust settles a bit and see which belts shake loose. It's how he got the WBO..
