Thx Rogie.
I got the streaking Jauregui (I picked Diaz over Burton but am still not a huge fan of him)
I'll take Manfredo (he's a little limited and should eventually hit a wall but i don't think it'll be yet)
RJJ
Burgos (one tough SOB)
Judah (easily)
Nobles (Seldon is DONE)
Hall (2 much 2 soon for Hoye)
Peter (in a wipeout)

BPD Lime Belt
Peter Manfredo, Jr.- the new pride of RI
A great performance by Kidd Diaz. He showed that his beard is not as bad as I thought, and he was a step ahead of Jauregui all night and landed some beautiful left hooks to the chin of Chatitio. A judge from Mexico had it 114-114 which is a joke, because it looked like Julio won 9 or 10 rounds.
Diaz was hyped as the next big thing at one time. He showed that he is legitimately world class last night, and that the first round loss to Valenzuela was a fluke.
For the rest,
Manfredo Early ko
Brock ko by middle rnds
Judah late stoppage
RJJ TKO within 7
