    Yes! Barthelemy's finally back! At first I thought this was a little too quick notice but it looks like he's been keeping in the gym.

        Uzcategui vs Dirrell I quite like, but I'm not so sure Relikh should be in with Rances, OK I get that he put in a good showing against the Rickshaw - but I'm not sure Burns is much of a yardstick any more. Still, should be entertaining at least.

              I'm not sure I'd call it great (unless you were being sarcastic). Between 'em Relikh and Uzcategui have only two opponents of any significance (if you call Korobov and Burns significant) and both of them lost those fights.

              On paper frankly it's a pair of mismatches, but it should be an entertaining card nonetheless, Relikh's an unknown but he looked good against Burns and many feel he shoulda got the nod. Aggressive, persistent and seems to be able to **** a bit, but should be easily outclassed by Rances.

              Uzcategui may be a bit better than his **** resume suggests though, and again has some decent power (or appears to). He was pretty young when he fought Matvey at MW but didn't look totally out of his depth - and whatever his weaknesses Korobov is a very skilled operator.

                I hope that Uzcategui pulls the upset.

                  Reikh is WBA#1, Uzcategui is IBF #1, the main event is a title fight, and it's a not a PPV fight! That's what I call a great card, especially for modern day boxing!
