Tevin Farmer vs. Jono Carroll
One of the best junior lightweights returns to the ring for his 2019 debut, as Tevin Farmer puts his IBF junior lightweight title on the line, when he faces Jono Carroll on Friday at the Liacouras Center in Farmer's hometown of Philadelphia, live and exclusively on DAZN. In the co-main event, WBA/IBF women’s lightweight champion Katie Taylor will face WBO champion Rose Volante in a title unification bout.
This will mark the fourth time Farmer (28-4-1 no contest, 6 KOs) competes since his championship win over Billy Dib last August. If the 28-year-old can get by Carroll, it would mark his third straight title defense and continue the chatter for a title unification with either WBA champion Gervonta Davis or WBO titleholder Andrew Cancio.

Carroll (16-0, 3 KOs) looks to squash those plans. The 26-year-old earned the title shot by going to a split draw against Guillaume Frenois in December.
Tevin Farmer vs. Jono Carroll will take place Friday, March. 15. The undercard is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. ET. followed by the main card at 9 p.m.
Tevin Farmer and Jono Carroll will fight at the Liacouras Center in Philadelphia.

Is there a reason that Farmar can’t get a good fight?

No. Who has this guy beaten to prove he is any good? There are a ton of fights at 130 that are much better. I’ll name them (although I understand not all are available at the present moment).
Berchelt, Vargas, Ito, Machado, Cancio, Davis, Rakhimov, jo jo Diaz (if he stays at the weight. Even someone like Castellanos who is a solid fighter but not necessarily a top guy. The weight class is semi deep but Farmar just keeps fighting non top guys. I’m not saying he is ducking them but is it just promotional issues or what?
Re: Tevin Farmer vs. Jono Carroll
Bit of a patch work card and honestly Carroll and Taylor being played up all in the name is St. Patrick's day weekend. Arguably he lost his last fight but he's tough enough and will show up but wouldn't be surprised to see Farmer get the body shot stoppage.
Re: Tevin Farmer vs. Jono Carroll
Reeeeally not a fan of these early evening start times. You get home off 12 hrs and half the cards over :p. It's a U.S card with a U.S headliner ffs. Would have liked to see the Lundy v Sparrow scrap.

Re: Tevin Farmer vs. Jono Carroll
Gabe Rosado in dropped and in big trouble in 1st. Sulecki looks massive.
Re: Tevin Farmer vs. Jono Carroll
I didn't realize this was on today. I just put it on..
Re: Tevin Farmer vs. Jono Carroll
The face of Rosado is on pace to resemble a plate of steak tattare. Solid work by Sulecki over 3 and Gabe trying to bolo and bluff his way through with wide right hands.
Re: Tevin Farmer vs. Jono Carroll
5-0 Sulecki. Not much on punches of Rosado. Sulecki should work that right hand overtime, right down the middle. He's wobbled Gabe twice when it gets home.
Re: Tevin Farmer vs. Jono Carroll
Oh oh rosado falls down again.. sulecki did ok v jacobs a year or two ago, sounds likes he's up next for Andrade :S
Re: Tevin Farmer vs. Jono Carroll
Oh dear sulecki just about out at the end of round nine... one round left... sulecki was cruising to victory and gets knocked down twice amazing
Re: Tevin Farmer vs. Jono Carroll
:o Well that's a turnaround, evens up the KD count at least :-X. 10th should be fireworks!
Re: Tevin Farmer vs. Jono Carroll
Sulecki looks a bit buggered herr. .. he's punching back but he looks a good punch away from going to sleep
