    Great performance from Kattar weathering Fishgolds early blitz and coming back with his sharper boxing skills to stop the Englishman. TKO 1 from Kattar.

    Hardy ditched the Mohawk and is going with a more professional looking buzzcut. Looks like he's fully embracing the corporate side of things now :lol:

    Smith I must admit comes off pretty well in that promo. Still how he's made his name off of the burned and charred bodies of war torn legends as opposed to legitimate fighters. As far as I'm concerned he's a glass cannon and not a legitimate contender with realistic title aspirations. This is being said as someone who's followed his career for almost 10 years.

    As far as Johnson goes... Not a fan of desperate weight cuts after a few rough losses. In almost every cases it never goes well especially when the cut is excessive. He was a fun top 10-15ish fighter at LW just not elite. Should have either embraced that role or retired. Things are already going worse for him at Featherweight. That said Lobov sucks... Johnson could be half dead from a cut and still win.

    I don't know why Johnson didn't just stay at 155, to be honest. As a journeyman sort, he can still offer a good test to any up-and-comers or fighters looking to break into the top 15 at Lightweight.

    10-9 Haqparast maybe 10-8 depending on which rules are in use?

    10-8 Haqparast maybe even 10-7. Gouti is unbelievably tough. 30-26 Haqparast. But 30-25 or even 30-24 wouldn't surprise me. No way this doesn't win FOTN.

    29-27, 29-28 and 30-26 all for Haqparast. Looks like only one judge knows how to score fights.

    Haqparast said he broke his hand in the first round.

    Haqparast thanks Gouti for his tough and game showing, and says that "he doesn't want to fly too high" but would like an opponent in the top 15 next.
