yeah it's a ten round non-title fight at a catchweight of one sixty three but jermall blew the weight & came in slightly heavier on his second attempt, i can only remember this happening once before, last i heard is they are working on an agreement for the fight to go aheadQuote:

Fini and kaput the man needs to find another line of work and prioritize his health. He clearly has no interest in professionalism and to still be holding a major title is an embarrassment. He's the walking definition of many things that stifle the sport now. Severe inactivity, glaring indifference and aloofness and no commitment to preforming as a champion. Ultimately the coziness and "safe space" the wbc and Maricio Sullied'man created and defended have only impaired his mindset and made it all worse off. He can blow Benavidez out in less than a round tomorrow and it will prove absolutely nothing for the big picture. Agree with Primo the gimme fight should be cancelled.
Matias v Ergashev has all the makings of a firefight. Sound like it's all become personal and like to see Matia keep his head and refuse coming in with reckless abandon. Garcia v Roach will be good. I was surprised to see them put Rivera right back in. This feels like an assigned sink or swim given to him. Off the top if Lipinets is close to where he was with Figueroa Jr think Rivera is in for a pretty rough night. Craziness, David Bevavidez weighs in less than Andrade :-XQuote:

Benavidez will have doubles on the Thanksgiving left over tonight. Do like his matter of fact tone, strictly business let's stop talking and fight!
So Lipinets vs Rivera doesn't even make the ppv card ???. But Jermall vs Benavidez does? That's a miss. It'll be on the Showtime YouTube Ch. in just a little bit.
Decent 1st for Rivera. Lipinets went to the body well, not much to choose from. Lean to Rivera barley. Again surprised this isn't on main card considering they now run to midnight :-X
Lipinets coming loopy, Rivera warned for a LB. Clinching by Rivera and Lipinets stepping up. Rivera keeping the jab in his face and moving well second half of round. Lipinets needs to sharpen up quick he's down 2-0.
Fluid 3rd for Rivera, sliding off both directions and letting Lip walk into them. Lipinets slowed feet and hands look like he's wearing wet gloves. No zip.
Another round Rivera. Simply outboxing Lipinets and his feet look smart, fluid movement. Lipinets loading up from the backseat not sharp at all here. 4-0 Rivera.
Repeated right hand from Rivera mid 5th. Mixing in uppercut and follow up left hook that Lipinets sponged but he felt it. Thought this would be faaaar more competitive but it's all Rivera 5-0
Camera work here is whack. Using these abrupt cuts with one angle view. Nice right hand and left for Lipinets with Rivera along ropes. Goes to the body roughs Rivera up. Nice lite pot shot 1-2 by Rivera. Think Lipinets took that 6th. 5-1
Lipinets out hard in 7th and Rivera still getting off and getting out. More meat on the bone for Lipinets here has Rivera hung up in corner. They exchange body shots end of round. Body language of Rivera getting a little negative. 5-2 Rivera
Sharp two fisted minute for Rivera, moving now when he touches the ropes. That sweep left hook after the right upper is solid for Rivera. 6-2 Rivera. Lipinets needs to go for broke or eat a big fat L.
Why does this feel pre recorded the way it is shot ;D
9th for Rivera stick and move all round. 7-2
Nice exchange mid 10th that Rivera felt, steadies but eats another left. Coin flip round Lipinets turned it up but far too late. Edge him the round. Have 97-93 Rivera really cannot see too much closer.
Scores 97-93 x2...96-94 all Rivera
Garcia vs Roach up now. Be in and out on first couple. Going to be a pretty long night, anyone want to jump in please do :beerchug:. The more the merrier!
Like Roach up 2-1 winning 1st and nicking 3rd. Garcia looking to time him but more one at a time. Right hand getting around Roach in spots as he comes in. Close end to the round.
Roach hustling and chugging in stabbing to body. Garcia studying and whipping right hand loopy. Couple of feints from Garcia and he holds it back end of round. Gotta go Roach 4th. Like both to up the output this is a checkers match. 3-1 Roach
Roach 5th. Jab landing and landing to body. Nice little left upper to body for Garcia and misses long left end of round. That was a tough round to score pretty close.
Just don't like the way Garcia stalls out and poses. He turns it up mid 6th just a bit. Roach comes in misses wide left. Many of these jabs are keep away jabs for Garcia. Roach slowed output too. Frustrating round if I'm honest. 4-2 Roach
Farhood has 58-56 for what it's worth. Garcia first 3 punch combo mid 7th. Roach turns up and eats a straight counter left from Garcia.Both falling short with leads. Another left from Garcia grazes him. 4-3 Roach
Garcia with the right idea throwing short left uppercut when Roach dips in. Both ring center, straight right for Roach. Garcia slightly cleaner in round and he clowns a bit at the bell. Someone between the two needs to take the wheel. Edge round Garcia, 4-4 even up now.
Garcia busier and better selection in 9th. Roach gets in choppy left hook. 5-4 Garcia. Again, very little to choose from here.
Both come alive late 10th hallelujah ;D. Roach bounces two short lefts off Garcia who turned awkward. Little more effective round Roach. 5-5
Roach explodes on ropes and Garcia is serious trouble. Actually hurt him center ring with right first. Hurt off left hook and lands follow up short right hook. Garcia gets off and tries to recoup behind jab. Best round for Roach there. Hopefully we get a shoot out 12th! Roach needs to mash the gas and leave nothing in the tank. 6-5 Roach
Garcia doing a lot of "magic hands" stuff. Just moving them weird just to do it. Oh nice straight left for him! Ohhh Garcia down into ropes face first off Roach right hand. Garcia up and hurt. Roach whipping left hooks and Garcia finishes the fight hands at waist at a dead stop just looking at Roach.
Have this 115-112 Roach new champ!
Scores in at 114-113 Roach...114-113 Garcia...116-111 Roach for a split win.
Ergashev v Matias up next. Nearly all expecting a war. Just going to enjoy this one.
Ergashev is massive in the shoulders! In general he looks a division bigger here :-X. He is rifling the left hand in on Matias and 'moving' him. Matias just catching and trying to set up but little offense.
Ergashev 2-0. Matias warming up late 2nd. Hands coming to life.
Matias 3rd. Ergashev visibly looking for clinch and is warned. 2-1 Ergashev
Ergashev buzzed in corner and beginning to reel when backing. Matias a two fisted ma'cheeen in 4th. Corner tells Matia to forget fighting southpaw. No idea about gas tank of Ergashev but the one he's showing isn't going to cut it. 2-2 but only in numbers
3-2 Matias. Ref checking Ergashev thru translator. Wth just like that it's called in the corner. Fight over! Said his leg was hurt??? Matias walked thru him and Ergashev felt the comfort of that stool. Matias tko 2 seconds into 6th.
Charlo vs Benavidez Jr now. Guessing Charlo is pushing Lt hvy vs a Jr middle by this point. He's basically declared he's moving to 168 next. Benavidez has zero to lose and should shoot his wad all out in the opening bell on Charlo who hasn't fought in 900 ? days.
For the record Charlo has that Spence hair going :-X. Man what a mess. Man looks like he literally just rolled off the couch on a Sunday morning.
Charlo working ok behind big jab. Benavidez getting in his own shots though. Charlo is throwing in combination first two rounds. Benavidez just being towed out to the already deep sea.
Benavidez roughs him up early 3rd. Lands clean. Snaps head of Charlo off of refs break. Under left eye of Benavidez growing a tiny golf ball. Benavidez rallies off a 4,5 punch combo at the bell and lands :-X.
Charlo big 6th. Mixing hands very well but Benavidez is standing directly in front of him with Everlast stamped on his forehead. Massive uppercut for Charlo but Benavidez eating all of this. His face is falling apart too.
Ref gives Benavidez "last" warning for low blows ???
