    Ray by KO in 5, if not sooner. Too much for Nino, who should have lost to Bobby Joe Young in the first place.

    Leonard mid rounds stoppage.

    Shouldn't be too different from what Curry was able to do v. Larocca.

    Larocca had talent but Curry and Leonard are brutal matchups for him.

    I think he may have had success against a guy like Starling who didn't like movers.

    I know, but Bobby tagged him solid a couple of times.
