I've watched Abril a time or 2 he's got a good fundamental skill set, as for Bogere, i've seen him as well, but don't recall anything about him off the top of my head.
Gary Russell Jr. vs. Vyacheslav Gusev should be a nice scrap, i'm looking forward to this card Saturday night.

50/50? Abril should pick him apart and should be decent favorite. Id say more like 70/30. Abril had no problem dealing with BamBams power, so he aint gonna be troubled by the smaller Bogere.

Abril/Russell Junior.

Like I said 50/ 50 imo

Bogere is a very good fighter, with much better skills & technique than Rios

Abril had trouble with guys like Prescott & Lundy!

I see this as very evenly matched!

I would gladly give you even money on Bogere

Wasn't there a guy from Bogere' camp that used to post on here? Wonder where he went?

Anyway...I like Abril on points.

I sure hope so, or by KO, I like lions, and anyone who wears a lion headdress, needs their ass kicked.

Should be 2 cracking fights, it's definitely worth a look.

Bump.. the fights start in about 2 hours, or @10:00 PM ET, 3:00 AM in the UK.

That ko by Jorge Melendez was year end top ten worthy...for a second I thought he shot him

Slept on this fight Abril v Bogere. I like Abril by late tko at this very second :-X . Sober still. Should be fun!

Yo bro, I just wolfed down 4 Shiner Bock after doing a bit of work preparing my veggie garden for planting in the spring. Sipping on a Grolsch @ the moment.

I'll be pulling for Abril and I hope he knocks Bogere into next week. As for Russell Jr. vs. Vyacheslav Gusev, I don't have a fav, may the best man win. Hopefully we get to see 2 good fights starting in about 30 minutes.

cheers
