I'm pretty certain it's only the 2 biggies...Wilder-Ortiz and Dirrell-Uzcategui.

SHOWTIME card starts at 9 eastern, 6 pacific. Main event probably begins about 1 1/2 he's later.

Hermans vs Napoleon

[Ruthless-RKO]

Sergey Derevyanchencko made light work of Dashon Johnson, stopping in round 6 of their scheduled 8 round Super Middleweight bout. Slow start to the fight for both fighters, Johnson pressing the action while Derevyanchencko speed content to counter when possible.

Derevyanchencko piled on the pressure in round 5, stunning Johnson temporarily before he saw his way to the bell.

Derevyanchencko kept up the pressure, closing the ring down and backing Johnson to a corner before unloading his overhand right to the head. Johnson’s corner saw enough and called an end to the fight once he returned at the end of the sixth round.

Derevyanchencko scores a TKO and moves to 12-0, 10 KO’s while Johnson is 22-23-3, 7 KO’s.

[marvelous marv]

Round 5 Big Napoleon round. Hermans covered up on the ropes and took damage. 4-1 Napoleon

[marvelous marv]

Round 6 A close round with alot of holding.

[marvelous marv]

Round 7 Napoleon landed the heavier shots and pushed Hermans back.

[jamamb]

this napolean who going by the rbr is winning could hardly win a round against old tori nelson, who in turn lost every round to shields. not really an interesting high level division is it.
