Though none of the undercard fights are airing tonight on HBO, and aren't streaming anywhere online (which is a shame, Golden Boy has that capability and plenty of sites on which to stream the fights), we'll keep you updated with live results from the undercard as they come in. The main event tonight between Amir Khan and Zab Judah airs at 10 p.m. EDT on HBO.
For round-by-round updates from the first five bouts, check out The RING Magazine on Twitter. Bad Left Hook's thoughts on the rest of the card in the comments.
- Jamie Kavanagh UD-6 Marcos Herrera: Kavanagh (8-0, 3 KO) is a Dublin-born lightweight now based in Los Angeles, and keeps his undefeated record on scores of 60-54, 59-54, and 60-53 over Herrera (6-6-1, 2 KO). You may recall seeing Herrera in April on Friday Night Fights, when he was game but easily outclassed by another Golden Boy prospect, Hylon Williams Jr, at the Cosmopolitan in Vegas.
- Josiah Judah MD-6 Rafael Jastrzebski: Judah (10-1-1, 2 KO) is a super middleweight and sort of the lost Judah brother, not near Daniel's level and not even in the same universe as Zab. This was his first fight in three years, and he was reportedly outworked by Jastrzebski (4-7-1, 1 KO) in the first three rounds, but won on scores of 59-55, 58-56 and 57-57.
- Ronny Rios TKO-1 Noe Lopez Jr: Rios improves to 15-0 (7 KO) but takes nothing better than a sideways step with this win. The 21-year-old super featherweight prospect has had some inconsistencies thus far in his pro career, but has an exciting style and some real promise, too. Lopez is now 7-9 (4 KO), and has been a favorite of Golden Boy and other promoters as a prospect tester the last few years. The stoppage came on a body shot at just 1:12.
- James Kirkland TKO-2 Alexis Hloros: The Michigan club patsy at least came to fight, says The RING, and threw all he had at Kirkland, who responded by knocking Hloros down three times and bashing his way to another victory. Kirkland is now 29-1 (26 KO), while Hloros slips to 15-4-2 (11 KO). Hloros was down twice in the first, then again early in the second, but went out throwing punches.
- Bryant Jennings UD-6 Theron Johnson: Johnson (9-0, 4 KO) is a heavyweight prospect from Philadelphia, 26 years old and 6'2" with weights in the low 220s. Scores here were 60-53, 60-53, and 59-54. Johnson (5-6, 1 KO) was down in the 4th round.
- Gary Russell Jr UD-8 Eric Estrada: Estrada has a career as a prospect checker ahead of him if this performance is any indication. Russell (17-0, 10 KO) easily dominated the fight with pure skills and busted Estrada up over the distance, but Estrada (9-2, 3 KO) was tougher than all hell and only went down once, and that was just a glove touching the canvas in the seventh round. HBO will air highlights of this one tonight.
- Peter Quillin TKO-5 Jason LeHoullier: Terrible mismatch, and an opponent who came in on a week and a half notice when Tarvis Simms shockingly (!) dropped out (no way!) of the fight. Quillin improves to 25-0 (19 KO) by handing undersized, underprepared LeHoullier (21-6-1, 8 KO) his sixth straight loss. The corner stopped it out of mercy, and it was a good decision. LeHoullier was being toyed with and beaten up.

My guide says online 1 hour has been allotted for Boxing tonight on HBO. This gonna be a one hitter quitter like Klitschko and Haye? :(

none of the undercard fights are airing tonight on HBO
No offense but I don’t know how many times I can say that this week. There’s not a single fight on this entire undercard worth HBO’s money either, same as there wasn’t for Klitschko vs Haye.

I don’t really mind as much as it might have seemed like I did, so sorry if the tone read harsh. I just think I’ve been asked that question roughly 80 times this week. It’s crazy. Rule of thumb: If you don’t know what the co-feature fight is, there probably isn’t one.

Already a downer on the fight unless they have a miraculous turnout from the bars…

I really didn’t think they’d get more than 5-6K in the building for this, and it’s REALLY empty in there still. I mean Vegas fans don’t show up until late, but goddamn.

What else is there? Peter Quillin butchering a guy that’s winless in six and lost to JCC Jr. in a round. Competitive matchmaking that.

To be fair it was meant to be Tarvis Simms, but he pulled a Simms. LeHoullier is a lousy replacement though.

Gary Russell cruising through two, dominating. I like his raw skills a lot. Gets a lot of power out of his frame.

I like Gary Russell, think he needs to be pushed along though…

Yeah it’s getting about time to move him up. I still think GBP coddles too much and has serious issues developing prospects. It might have something to do with the fact that I think their matchmakers are really terrible given the amount of money they have.

Russell dominating with ease, but feeling is he should put Estrada away. Estrada is tough, but still.

Highlights of this one will be shown later, which tells me Gary’s close to a competitive fight, or at least a fight with a gatekeeper and a sweetheart spot on HBO.

Are you watching the Primetime broadcast?
They’ve just been calling Estrada a veteran, saying he’s using “veteran moves” like using his elbow.

Had a good run in April with Salido and Rubio, since then it’s been difficult in boxing at least… Have Fury and Khan both by decision in a double tonight… How about you?
Still searching for an alive Dan Tucker.
Okay mate
Got the same bet on Khan with a saver on 9-12.. loved that Fury fight, proper British tear up!
Fights recently been weirdly priced… Like Robert Guerrero against Katsidis was 4/6 at opening price. Any football outrights for the new season?

Luton to go up!
Dead cert! Like Barca to repeat both league and CL. Really fancy Liverpool to make top 4. Can’t see Arsenal winning anything but CC is a possibility. Strongly fancy QPR to go down too, can’t believe they’re not spending
Maybe now they've got rid of the kiddy fiddler
Not too up on the sweaty football tbh, holds very little interest for me
Russell looks a bit small for 126...

"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."
Was going to ask about that… How popular is Amir Khan in America?
Still searching for an alive Dan Tucker.
I've always thought
that we Brits and Americans both like the same kinds of fighter, any perceived divergence is probably a pretty rare occurence in my opinion
He drew fuck all for the Maidana fight (that had a LOT of freebies) and this appears to have sold nothing.

Off topic
but I played poker with Curtis Woodhouse a couple of weeks ago. He seemed pretty genuine and said that he’s certain Gavin is going nowhere fast. Having seen his last 2 performances I’m inclined to agree. Scott, I remember you saying he was one of your favourite prospects a while back; any change in your thoughts there?
Gavin’s dedication has never been there. Failed weight for Olympics, been heavy in the pros and just looks disinterested. He has the tools, but looks like he doesn’t enjoy boxing.
Still searching for an alive Dan Tucker.
He was “guaranteed a gold” in the Beijing Olympics… I don’t know how much truth is in that, but that’s a bizarre thing to pass on.
Still searching for an alive Dan Tucker.
Mike Tyson once said
‘If God made anything better than pussy he kept it for himself’. In the same vein, whatever is taking Gavin’s attention must be pretty fucking good because the sky could be the limit for him if he focused properly
Very much so. I haven’t cut a great rant like McGuigan did about it, but Gavin (who was once my #2 prospect in boxing just some weeks back), is now not in my top five. He says he’ll get back to 140 and start dieting right and taking care of himself, but he has to actually prove he’ll do that and not just say it. He’s now a wait-and-see talent with major personality flaws.

yeah
I think from here in the UK its easier to hear the whispers, and they’re not good at all. I used to be high on him also, I’ve now channeled that excitement into Billy Joe Saunders who looked electric in his last performance, against a decentish gatekeeper too
Yeah, if Billy Joe’s hands hold up, I like him a lot, and more every time I see him. Great talent, seems to have the hunger.

Hope to see more of him in the near future but as you said the injuries seem to be holding him back.
Personally
Very little. Although his purported acting career is going up shit creek so who knows. What do you reckon?
Horrible idea for a 39 year-old speed-reflex fight to stage a comeback. For evidence of this, Calz should look no further than his last fight.

Roy Jones Jr agrees with this. He could break down why it’s a terrible idea for Joe Calzaghe to come back.

Maybe after his "comeback" they could both do it together.
A slow Calzaghe would get slaughtered by anyone in the top ten at either 168 or 175… including the Mikkel Kessler that he beat.

Benny Ricardo was taught the ropes of boxing commentary by Bob Sheridan, who will tell you five years from now that a shot Paul Malignaggi is a dangerous puncher.
