    Who wins this intriguing fight on the undercard of Frampton LSC?

    Think Farmer is too smart, and too slick for Redkach. UD for Farmer

    Remember someone mentioned Farmer has a glass eye from a drive by shooting :D

    If Farmer fights like in his fight with Daulis Prescott, he will destroy Redkach.

    Farmer had his eye injured in a horrible combine harvester accident. :(

    Farmers a good fighter, but hes small and Redkach is a big LW with power.

    Tricky one to pick.
    I like how Farmer has turned his career around so dramatically though

    Redkach super overrated. Thought he lost to Tony Luis. He has been exposed now. Farmer.

    Farmer of the Prescott fight is a tough test for anyone in the division.

    good fight I really like tevin, he's an example of someone that is slick but can also put on a show and hurt his opponent. I got farmer by wide UD or late stoppage by cuts.

    Tevin Farmer is moving up in weight to take this fight and, granted Redkach has looked like dog**** as of late, Farmer is a heavy favorite (a popular book has him at -320). Does this seem off, like a pretty far off, to anyone else?

    Farmer isn't heavy handed, will be the significantly smaller man, and doesn't have the background or record to suggest the former blue chip prospect Redkach should be a walk in the park.

    That said, I have not seen a ton of Farmer's fights. I have seen two in full, so I am not promoting myself as the subject matter expert here. Redkach has shown himself to be limited but capable and a good puncher. Am I missing something that would suggest Redkach is in for an ass beating?

    I agree. Farmer's been taken out before. Seems to have a suspect chin.

    I started a thread this morning after seeing the odds on this fight (Farmer -320/Redkach +240). My post read:

    And it appears the majority of posters agree with the odds. I still think Redkach (who I agree is overrated) is being undersold here. He is large for a LW and still a good sized SLW, while Farmer is average for a SFW. While Redkach has showed to be quite a bit more raw than anticipated, he can bang and has a decent motor. I think he is a very live dog. I though this would be a pick' em if not Redkach being favored, but I've been wrong many a time. We'll see Saturday night.

    I like farmer but this an up hill battle for fight size difference here. Ivan stylistically has an advantage.

    Im on farmers side on this one hes really good but this a tough fight

    Farmer's chin is almost as bad as Wilder's. He's getting laid out cold.
