Its a great idea from Top Rank to increase viewer numbers beyond a handful people present at the arena.

Ukrainian Olympian Oleksandr Gvozdyk is next. Should be interesting.

That did not left any questions, did it? lol
Very good performance by Gvozdyk against a pretty decent opponent.

Yep...good stuff from Gvozdyk. He made Cummings look much worse than he is.

Only 5th fight but I can see him knocking on Kovas door within a year.

Beterbiev, Shabranskyy, Gvozdyk - there are some really promising prospects in the light heavyweight division.

Ponomarev is doing a young Mayweather impersonation. But I am not sure he has quite a necessary speed or sharpness to go with it.

Pretty good fight between Claggett and Ponomarev.

His defense certainly doesn't appear to be a strong point.

Yeah, no one is calling him a pretty boy, not since round 4 anyway. I am not sure about Talant either, whatever that is.

Good scores. Ponomarev clearly took it in my opinion but he's got many improvements to make, especially defensively.

He is so green he pisses grass. But only 22 so he can perfect his game.

Shakhnazaryan staying to long in the pocket against a power puncher. Its not going to end well for him.

Lopez open for the left hook every time,think the penny has dropped for Shakhnazaryan.

I dont know about penny but I saw Shakh dropped twice.
Mexican deserved to win.

4-0 Ramirez
Sharper and much better punch variety.

Ramirez comfortably ahead on my card going into the 10th but he's being tested.

97-93 Ramirez. He was in control over the first half but Vlasov picked it up late and had him looking weary in the final moments. It was his toughest fight that I've seen and his face shows it, but I think he took it.

I have feeling Rios will put Alvarado into a lot of pain very soon.

Alvarado already getting beaten up in round one....bad start for him.
