Last January, Mark Magsayo stunned long time WBC featherweight champion Gary Russell Jr. in a majority decision. Magsayo came out fast in the early going, timing Russell with hard counterpunches and surprising him with his speed. Not too long in, it became obvious that Russell had hurt his right shoulder,

Joe Smith Jr. did all the right things to get this fight. He’s a world champion who beat multiple quality opponents, and he absolutely deserved to be on the stage he was on last night. But I had a feeling this was a bit of a mismatch. It was all

Edgar Berlanga beat Steve Rolls by close unanimous decision and it really didn’t do it for me. I was there in person and basically the entire crowd was there to see Berlanga, but it seemed that even the incredibly pro-Berlanga crowd started to sour on this performance 4-5 rounds in,
