Quick Jabs: Cotto, Lopez Want You To Wash Your Hands; More On The Weekend, With Jones-Lacy, Shumenov-Campillo And Others; Mucho Gracias, Oscar Larios; And Much More

To your right is a poster for perhaps the most important light heavyweight fight of the weekend. On Saturday, Beibut Shumenov will try to become the light heavyweight titlist who achieved that goal in the fewest number of fights: Nine. That's assuming it happens, by the way. Universum claims it has an option on Gabriel Campillo and has been trying to get the bout halted. If the bout happens as scheduled, Shumenov is actually more battle-tested against experienced names, strangely enough, but Campillo did win the title in an upset, so no reason he can't keep it that way. Should be interesting.That's not to say that Shumenov-Campillo is the BIGGEST light heavyweight title fight of the weekend. That, of course, is Roy Jones, Jr.-Jeff Lacy, also on Saturday. We'll have a few more notes on that card, which, I would remind you (I'm a little excited about it), will be guest-blogged this weekend by friend of the site and fellow boxing blogger Scott Kraus, so stay tuned to this space for that. But there are a lot more tidbits in this edition of Quick Jabs than the weekend schedule, among them the items in the headline; what's in the works for Wladimir Klitschko, Shane Mosley, Bernard Hopkins, Nate Campbell and others; a bit more on Universum's recent run of unfortunate business; and much more.
