This one is on the undercard of Malignaggi/Ngoujo. I'm smelling possible upset here. Releford will be Witherspoon's toughest opponent to date and his journeyman record is deceiving. He's had good wins over capable fighters Ramon Garbey and Elicier Castillo, was beating Davryll Williamson before getting stopped, and has lost some decisions against good fighters. He hurt Tye Fields early in their fight but made the tactical mistake of going lefty, negating his power. Witherspoon has decent skills but I think he gets lazy in the ring from time to time. A focused Releford who keeps his hands moving could outhustle Chazz. There was talk of Releford going to Cruiser, but he stayed at heavy when this fight was offered, having just fought at 221 two weeks ago. An upset here would not shock me.
Chazz seems like a nice kid but I don't see a promising future as a boxer for him. Releford is live but Chazz should edge him out. But if the odds are right, Releford worth nominal play.:smoke :smoke
