Both fighters weighed in this morning. Gvozdyk has gained 9.9 pounds since yesterday’s weigh-in. Beterbiev has gained exactly 9 pounds, coming in at 183.5.

Odds have really tightened at some sportsbooks with late money coming in on Beterbiev. For example, 5dimes has Gvozdyk at -112 and Beterbiev at -103.

Tonight’s ESPN telecast begins at 10PM ET/7PM PT. If you are a boxing fan, this fight is pretty much “can’t miss TV.”

Super bantamweight Jeremy “Magic hands” Adorno 3-0, 1 KO dropped Misael Reyes (1-3) with a right hook and then boxed his way to a solid four round unanimous decision victory by scores 40-35 x 2 and 38-37 respectively

Super lightweight prospect Josue “The Prodigy” Vargas (15-1, 9 KOs) used his superior hand speed and bodywork to easily outpoint Johnny “The Punisher” Rodriguez (9-5-1, 6 KOs) over eight rounds by scores 80-72 across the board.

Light heavyweight “Cannon Hands” Michael Seals (24-2, 18 KOs) needed just 98 seconds to demolish Elio “La Maquina” Trosch (14-9-2, 7 KOs). A left hoo finished Trosch.

It's anyone's guess as to how this one will play out but my feeling is that it will be a war for however long it lasts. I could be completely wrong but I am picking Beterbiev by 5th round TKO!

Bought it on the Fite TV app for US$14.99 and streaming to TV via Chromecast. Well worth it even so far with the main event yet to come!

Beterbiev KOs Gvozdyk in 10, unifies IBF/WBC LH titles

By Kurt Wolfheimer at ringside

In a huge light heavyweight world title unification showdown, IBF champion Artur Beterbiev (15-0, 15 KOs) scored a tenth round KO against WBC champion Oleksandr Gvozdyk (17-1, 14 KOs) on Friday night at the Liacouras Center in Philadelphia. Beterbiev was credited with a knockdown at the end of round one, but it was overruled as a push after an instant replay review. Both fighters landed big shots as the bout progressed. Beterbiev had Gvozdyk holding on in round nine. Gvozdyk took a knee in round ten. Beterbiev knocked him down two more times in the round to end it! Time was 2:49.

This was a great fight and certainly lived up to expectations. Credit to Gvozdyk for keeping it so close in the early rounds but Beterbiev was relentless and gradually broke Gvozdyk down with his power and constant pressure. Very surprising to hear that two of the three judges actually had Gvozdyk ahead on their scorecards at the time of the stoppage.
