Not a horrible undercard

Not eminently recognizable names, but Francisco Pianeta (one of my favorite HW prospects) is fighting a 17-0 fighter (who knows if he’s actually a live body though), plus there’s what looks to be a competitive women’s bout (a title fight between someone who’s lost to all the best fighters in the division against a fighter who’s undefeated but has faced all scrubs), although women’s boxing isn’t really my thing, plus Mads Larsen and Oleg Platov fighting stay-busy fights. $25 still seems steep considering the shit nature of the main event and that it’s being aired live in the afternoon, but I guess if I’m stuck at home working that day I might buy it to have it in the background.
