Neither of them will be player in division other than stepping stone. It's really a last hurrah for both.

Both guys are done, it's not a crossroads fight because the winners not going to go on to do much either.

Always appreciated Devon. Pulling for him in this one. This leads to one last payday for the winner. Sad that either of these guys will be simply names on resumes for better fighters. They were both active, entertaining boxers for a while.
