BoxNation will also carry the main 3 bouts from 12:30pm EST/5:30pm UK.

Running order is Chakhiev vs. Wright, Drozd vs. Janik, and the main event.

 

Dmitry Bivol vs. Joey Vegas, 8 rounds @ light heavyweight

 

After this will likely be Svetlana Kulakova vs. Marie Riederer, 10x2" rounds @ light welterweight. They just showed Kulakova backstage getting hands wrapped.

After the ladies, Kudryashov vs. Meroro, then Charr vs. Leapai, and finally the main triple-header.

 

Bivol is only 2-0 (2) and despite his ugly record Vegas isn't a terrible fighter. This is quite a step up this early.

 

Damn, big size discrepancy. Bivol looks more like a Cruiser.

In fact, both are functionally CW's today. Neither made the 175lb limit.

 

Round 1

Bivol is throwing hard lead right hands to body and head as Vegas shies away in a Philly shell. Vegas is rolling with the punches well but Bivol is taking an extra step to plant the right fist solidly into his solar plexus and temple. Left hooks on the body from Bivol as well. Vegas is backed into a corner where Bivol tees off, eliciting whistles of appreciation from the crowd. Vegas bides his time and comes roaring out to freedom with an overhand right, with Bivol skipping back respectfully to give him room. Body jabs by Vegas, missing. Bivol very quick on his toes skipping in and out of the pocket. Jabs up top by Bivol.

10-9 Bivol

 

:readthre:

That's as much of an answer as there is to give. :conf

 

Bivol 178, Vegas 179¾
