Can you believe it!!???? Big Baby Miller fails yet another drug test!!!!! This is the same guy who failed 3 separate tests before the Joshua fight, you have more luck naming what he wasn't taking than what he was!!! He also failed a test when he was a kickboxer fighting for Glory, (he fought CroCop believe it or not!)
Now, after Top Rank signed him, his 4th promoter! Giving him a main event and a lay up opponent and he goes and fails another ****** test!!!

How long should he be banned???? A long time!!!! Lifetime ban doesn't sound too harsh.

I hate talking **** about people but Jarrell Miller is a moron! Boxers like him give the sport a bad name. He's been given a million second chances and has ****** them all up! He's a disgrace to the sport!

OK, rant over. Time to calm down.

Orta vs. Ortiz
Joshua Orta, DEC
Just to let anyone picking this fight know. Joshua Orta does not have a 2-2 record, he is a 6-0 fighter. I'm not sure how this has happened??? I will try to get it fixed, if possible. But yeah, take that into consideration when picking this fight. It's not a 7-0 prospect vs a 2-2 journeyman. This is 2 undefeated prospects putting their undefeated records against each other. Expect a close fight

Looking forward to this evening's Top Rank on ESPN Card. Carlos Castro is one of my favourite Boxers in the lower weight classes and I hope to see some further development to his skills when he fights Cesar Juarez this evening. I'm expecting a strong performance from Castro, against a durable, rugged, determined Juarez.
In the Main Event, being honest, I'm surprised how many feel that Jerry Forrest will get the Win tonight against Carlos Takam. Takam is certainly being underrated on this site... Forrest is a decent Heavyweight with good skills, no real power and an average resume, who will be trying to get the biggest Win of his Career to date... Meanwhile, I would be amazed if Takam doesn't Win and if he puts it on Forrest early, especially to the body, I certainly think Takam will Win by decision, but he also has the power late, to potentially stop Forest late (after 7)... 🤔🥊👊👍

As for the fights, I was looking forward to the continued development of Heavyweight prospectJared Anderson. Unfortunately his opponent got sick, not Corona I'm led to believe.

I do think the main event might be competitive, I mean Forrest did, in a lot of people opinion, beat 20-0 Jermaine Franklin last time out. And Takams biggest fights are all losses. So you know, Forrest has a shout.
Yeah Castro is decent, Juarez is you're typical tough veteran, former World Championship level fighter who now tests guys on the brink of contention, a bit like Orozco the other week, and remember he was robbed by judges vs Santillan! So Juarez could make it tough 
I'm interested in the early fight between Ortiz and Orta, b2 undefeated guys. I've already mentioned it but I'll say it again Orta is 6-0, not the 2-2 he's listed on here, some kind of wierd glitch??? 2 undefeated prospects always interests me to see who moves forward

It is a shame that Jared Anderson is Not fighting this evening. He his a top young Heavyweight prospect, with a very bright future. Another good American Athlete, just like Deontay Wilder is and was too, who got into Boxing from a young age, rather than in his late teens. I have a feeling that his scheduled opponent for this evening, Hector Perez, who pulled out sick unfortunately, standing at 5ft 11" and with a modest 6 - 2 record, was in for a good hiding this evening, so he definitely wouldn't have fancied that, if he felt unwell... Joshafat Ortiz Vs Joshua Orta has an 0 has to go fight, will hopefully be an entertaining and competitivebout and Not just a one sided beat down, like the site suggests. However Ortiz has a little power and Orta's early record of victories looks slightly padded, which is making Ortiz a strong favourite to Win the bout. If the general feeling about this fight is correct, it would be good to see Ortiz go for the Stoppage of an undefeated 6 - 0 fighter, rather than play safe and just try and labour to a decision Win....Carlos Castro is Not known for his power, because his KO percentage is under 50% and I don't expect the Stoppage of Juarez this evening, but if he can dominate the contest, Castro will be showing Top Rank, his promoter, that he is ready to fight a Top 15 Guy in the Super Bantamweight Division moving forward, in his pursuit of a World Title Shot. Good luck to both in the Co Main Event and let you entertain us... Finally, as for Carlos Takam, he states that before he hangs the 🥊🥊up, he wants one final shot at Winning a World Title... Well I would expect Dereck Chisora to beat Jerry Forrest if given the opportunity to fight and Carlos Takam dominated Chisora for 6 Rounds, before running out of steam the other year. As an Heavyweight you don't have to make weight and he was in training to fight Oscar Rivas, so I expect a very good performance from Takam tonight!! No disrespect to Jerry Forrest, because I respect his slick, moving Boxing style, but he his effectively drafted in to initially be an opponent for Miller to look good against and although that fight isn't happening, Takam is Not expected to lose by the powers that be. Hence why all the Top Rank Promo is on the ability, success and unfortune of Takam's career, with very little mention of what Jerry Forrest brings to the squared circle. 🥊👊👍🤔

Congrats to Champion winning the 4 Round bout this evening and producing the upset... Not many people considering his record would have made that pick. 👏👏to the members who made the pick. Expecting a strong performance from Wilson Jr against Stubbs tonight. Stubbs coming in with something to prove, after losing his last fight around 10 days ago... It should be a competitive bout 🥊👊👍🤔

Looking like it's another 1 on the board for the MMA guys!!! With a Knockdown and a point deduction Wilson needs to win every round to squeak a win or a draw. The way he's fighting it's not looking likely!!

Agreed, after the 2nd KD by Stubbs on Wilson Jr in Round 5...Wilson Jr is confusing me. Wilson Jr seems to have the better Boxing skills, but his chin seems weak and his Boxing IQ and ability to adjust certainly needs work... Well done Stubbs on your performance this evening and Wilson Jr back to the drawing board, with much to work on 🥊👊👍🤔

Finally on the score board this evening. Joshafat Ortiz was certainly the better Boxer between the two and his physical dimensions were advantageous. However, why did he make it a closer fight with his choice of fighting inside the pocket in Rounds 5 and 6?? I can understand why after controlling 4 rounds, you might want to test that area of your opponent in a 6 Round contest, but with regards to being smart, after encountering a little heat in Round 5, move back to Boxing from distance in Round 6 and go back to controlling the fight to pick up the Win!! Both fighters still have a lot to work on as they progress with their Boxing careers 🥊👊👍🤔

Yeah, Ortiz almost threw that fight away in the last couple rounds. 
Next up I picked Castro to get a late round TKO. I know Castro isn't a puncher but Juarez has been finished in his last 3 losses, last time out to Angelo Leo, who similarly to Castro isn't a puncher. I just think Juarez is at the end of a long career and has already started getting finished in these kind of fights. Once that starts it's a slippery slope!!

Plus I want to see a finish!!!

That was a good stoppage from the corner. Would be good to see some corners like that in MMA. 

Anyway Castro was impressive. Made a statement, taking out the old veteran and showing he's ready for the top 10 in the division. That was 1 of the most brutal body attacks I've seen in a long time. I'm impressed by Castro
