The IBF has elevated Daniel DuBois to heavyweight champion.

What a sad joke. Abolish the IBF.

Can't wait for tomorrow night.

Juan Francisco Estrada defending his lineal/TBRB, Ring, WBC world super flyweight championship against former WBC 115 and unified 112 world titilst Jesse "Bam" Rodriguez.

Potential fight of the year candidate.

Rodriguez is quickly amassing a very impressive resume. First Carlos Cuadras, then Srisaket Sor Rungvisai, then Sunny Edwards, now El Gallo up next. He won't fight his mentor Chocolatito so maybe he can unify with Ioka next. Ioka beat his brother once and got a draw with him once so there's an easy storyline there, provided Ioka comes through his own unification with Martinez next week.

Undercard post, but Nico Ali Walsh survived the last round with a blatantly dislocated shoulder that Akale somehow didn’t notice. Clearly showed the letters lack of awareness.

Bam Rodriguez is truly a special fighter and we're watching him at the very beginning of his prime.

Carlos Cuadras.
Srisaket Sor Rungvisai.
Sunny Edwards.
Juan Francisco Estrada.

Just slaughtering legends every time out. Go get Kazuto Ioka or Pedro Guevara next.

Teofimo Lopez won about as dominant of a decision as possible without scoring a knockdown, but clearly had not expected as much of a fight from Claggett as he got. Props to the Canadian vet, he was outclassed but made the most of his title shot.

But the highlight was Ramirez’s borderline perfect fight against Benitez, with a big uppercut knockout as an exclamation point.
