Review: 2012-07-21, some nice heavy exchanges between Sergei Lascenko and Damian Garcia but the difference in experience and skill between the two is too large: two stars.

Lascenko vs Garcia is on the undercard of Andy Souwer vs Zeben Diaz (It’s Showtime 59). Watch the video!
Review: 2012-07-21, even with the ko, the fight between Andy Ristie and David Calvo isn’t worth our three stars. On the original fight card Andy Ristie was expected to face Abraham Roqueni. Ristie vs Calvo is on the undercard of Andy Souwer vs Zeben Diaz (It’s Showtime 59). Watch the video!
Review: 2012-07-20, good first part of the fight but then both boxers initiate clinches and the bout becomes pretty boring: Mateo Veron vs Javier Maciel gets two stars. Mateo Damian Veron (13-6-2) entered as the No.25 light middleweight in the world while Javier Francisco Maciel (22-2-0) entered as the No.44.
