Another cult hero from the Top Rank bubble is back. Big Kingsley Ibeh and his Bus Driver Uppercuts is back L, looking for his 3rd win in 3 weeks!!!!  Man, I really hope for boxing techniques and cardios sake he gets slept this time!!!  Otherwise we're going to get a whole load of Bus Drivers armed with nothing but an uppercut and a round and a half of cardio with dreams of becoming Heavyweight Champ!!!

I agree with you mate, this is the best card that Top Rank has put together since coming back, on paper!!  I just really doubt its going to look like this by the time weigh ins are done unfortunately, here's hoping tho!!

anybody picking Pllana? his fight with Igbokwe is a rematch and the first fight was pretty competitive, and I think Pllana is improving. any thoughts?

I think that the Raphael Igbokwe Vs Genc Pllana fight has been pulled off the card inside the last couple of hours... It has all of a sudden been removed from the Boxrec schedule of fights for this evening's Top Rank Card. On Top Rank's marketing billing on their Twitter page, the bout is also Not listed and when you tap on each Boxers individual profile via Boxrec, the bout is Not listed, with neither fighter having a bout lined up... I wonder if the dreaded Covid-19 has removed another bout... Shame đŸ€”đŸ„ŠđŸ‘ŠđŸ‘

I hope not, as I was looking forward to picking up an underdog win with that fight( I figured Pllanas awkward style would defeat Igbokwe this time round, especially without the home town judges Igbokwe got last time!) 
Anyway, I haven't heard anything about it being cancelled?  Not yet anyway!!? 
Both guys weighed in with no issue last night. Also the bout wasn't going to be broadcast, it was to be a dark bout. Maybe that explains it no longer being on BoxRec. 


But, after all the changes to these cards I would not be surprised if its been cancelled for whatever reason???
I knew it was too good to be true that this card would stay together!!!

It is off!

Predictions: 5 of 5 Winners, 3 Perfect, 390 Points   |   Tied for 1st with 1 other

Yeah, unfortunately it is off. Igbokwe tested positive. 
That's a bit strange though. I mean wasn't he already tested and came back negative before entering the so called "Bubble" that I keep hearing about repeatedly!!! So he entered the Bubble negative, would've been there for a week, weighs in last night, today, only hours before his fight he is now positive!  So Igbokwe caught Corona in this damn Bubble!!!!  ***???? 

I wouldn't be surprised to find out later that this is yet another false positive, just like Mayer and Herring

Taking a chance with my Stats tonight... I have picked the female fight to go to a decision, with Clavel to Win most probably by a wide UD... However, with the gents, I have opted to select that each of the 4 bouts will finish inside the distance, based on what I viewed on the scales yesterday and what is in play for the Main participants in each bout tonight... I think that the Berlanga and Rodriguez fights will finish inside of 6 Rounds and the Valdez and Dogboe fights will finish inside of Round 9 and 8 respectively... Could have picked some decision Wins, but wanting to watch some fireworks and action... So I just thought What the Hell. Hence I will shouting at the TV.... Finish Him đŸ€”đŸ„ŠđŸ‘ŠđŸ˜€đŸ‘đŸ‡ŹđŸ‡§

Blows my mind how these fighters are testing positive day before or day of fights. Why not do it like the UFC. Two week bubble before your fight

Valdez vs. Velez
Oscar Valdez, DEC
Part 2 of Valdez' Super Featherweight run is set. Let's see if Valdez can pick up a win, without getting busted up or hitting the deck himself, which has a tendency to happen in his fights.

Berlanga vs. Moon
Edgar Berlanga, DEC
Oooooooo boy. About 65% of you need to get with the program..... Geeeez.

Valdez vs. Velez
Oscar Valdez, DEC
I really think this is going to be a good, competitive and entertaining scrap!!! Obviously Valdez is the favourite, but even in fights he dominates he has a habit of getting hit clean and sat down. Despite the 6 losses Velez is a very good, tough fighter. He will test Valdez here.

Berlanga vs. Moon
Edgar Berlanga, TKO, R1
The 1st round KO streak continues!!! 1 of the most exciting prospects in all of boxing!!! Berlanga is a BANGER!!!!!!

Rodriguez vs. Okoth
Elvis Rodriguez, TKO, R2
Rodriguez is another BANGER!!! His last fight, 2 weeks ago, he broke his opponents cheek, orbital with a jab!!!! Freddie Roach is very excited about his new prospect, so should any boxing fan be

I really hope Dogboe looks good here. He has the right opponent to look good, Avalos a former World Title challenger but has been KO'd a few times in his most recent fights. Dogboe should try to get the finish here, as it is there for him
