If this guy really beat Gamboa in the amateurs and is that good then we're gonna see what Russell Jr is made of. But a risky fight for him since he's been off for soooo long... Very risky.

Is this still on the undercard of Spinks-K9 2?

Interesting fight, I think the winner would stand a good chance of dethroning Dibb.

Haven't you guys seen Franco? He was on shobox a couple of times, barely made it past by Leonilo Miranda. Slaps with punches, likes to brawl more than your avg Cuban pro.
