It looks like a Guillermo Jones fight might actually happen. In what must be some kind of record, WBA cruiserweight titlist Guillermo Jones hasn't actually fought since September 2008, but he hasn't been stripped. This is the fourth time a bout between he and his mandatory Valery Brudov has been scheduled - we'll see if it actually comes off this time. What's sad is that Jones' last opponent, Firat Arslan, has actually retired and unretired since losing to Jones.
