The last thing Kieran needs is to be fighting a high level guy like Stevie dropping down from welter.

Sure Stevie's coaches will consider a catch weight fight at 73kg before the full drop to 70kg for Stevie. We done the same thing with Martin Delaney who fought pro at 77 then 75 then 73 before settling at 70kg.

The drop to LW makes a lot of sense, it wasnt that long ago Stevie was weighing in on the day at under 77 for semi pro fights and performing well.
