    The overall card was kinda boring - but at least there were decisive finishes and a final match that was fierce and competitive.

    How does Junie fare in a rematch with Efrain?

    Kaplan isn't very good though. Remember when he was daring that guy to hit him & he got KTFO? :rofl Best clip ever!

    I think Efrain takes him out again. I'm not impressed by Junie, despite his "changed ways." Kaplan is not very good...

    Kaplan looked really, really slow.

    For all the talk about how much MT he did in Europe and Mir saying how great his leg kicks are, it doesn't matter if you're too slow to land them. Also, HORRIBLE defense against punches.

    Who's the "worst" guy Junie could see at 155 for his next fight? Certainly no one as bad as Kaplan looked tonight.

    Anyway, decent card. I was pissed about the Macdonald fight and Primm looked like he was about two weight classes below Krystophf (sp??), but apart from that it was okay.

    Junie looked good, I don't know, his striking technique looks predictable to me, especially the way he is finishing his combinations. Its so classic, its very sound, but it also looks predictable. I like that he used a lot of combination striking, but I think he's going to need to mix it up more in the future. Otherwise, he looked very good.

    Efran would still beat him I think, in that he has great vision and is able to read things like predictable striking routines. Even if you finish a combination with a leg kick instead of a right cross, you still leave yourself open to a takedown.. Junie did a good job controlling the distance against another striker, I like that his game is well varied with ground and striking.. He just needs to be more unpredictable imo.
