I don't know a damn thing about Rakhimov...like, is Tajikistan even still a country? What should I expect?

He can fight, has some pop. I've seen him on a lot of Russian cards. Expected Diaz to win coming in, but it's not a walkover. Should be a very entertaining fight stylistically, 2 southpaws that will come to rumble

Damn Diaz already lost the belt on the scales, by 4 fooking pounds too ......SMDH

I saw him in a few fights. He looked pretty solid, aggressive, and doesn't give up easily. I expect him to look bigger than JoJo in the fight. It's no walk in the park.

War JoJo!

Alright, best card of the day starting in about 5 minutes, but it's gonna have a hard time topping the Wood/Mould and Warrington/Lara fights

[BigZ44]

WTF? They didn't televise the Azat/Bernache fight but we have to watch Shane Mosley Jr fight a journeyman? WTF

[bossm523]

anyone got a working stream for this? Can't seem to find one to watch the undercard.

[BigZ44]

Whether or not Melikuziev fights Kovalev, I hope he decides to make a run at 168 and doesn't campaign at 175 where he will be at a big size disadvantage
