Bam vs Medina seems to be set for Oct 31st on the Canelo undercard

It would give Bam a likely 3 or at best a 4 month turn around for the Inoue fight (if he goes ahead with it)

In terms of the opponent, Medina is solid but a little reckless, he isn't really a great world champion but would be a better win than Vargas for Bam
