King Tug is a VERY live dog in this fight.

Never count out an Asian who loves fighting. Especially against a guy who views boxing as a job.

Good card

I'll take Solis and Russell. Nyambayar didn't impress me against Marrero.

King Tug is a VERY live dog in this fight.

He's ready that's for sure. He said he had a 10 week camp.

I'm excited for this one. Hopefully I'll be able to watch it.

Looks like Gary Russell Jr's brothers, who are also named Gary Russell won their under card fights.
