Two weak cards tonight on ESPN and DAZN. The only two top ten guys were the winners of the main events. (DAZN had a women's fight with the #2 featherweight but I didn't watch it.) Of 32 fighters, 9 of them were ranked in Boxrecs top 100 in their divisions.  A #46 guy knocked out a #361 guy. One guy was #931 and another #929, (he lost to a rookie).

Raymond Muratalla, (20-0 with 16 KOs) the #5 lightweight got pushed around for most of the fight by 33-5-1, (#17),  Tevin Farmer but came on in the late rounds and benefited from a questionable point deduction for holding that prevented Farmer from tying up Muratella and made it hard to win a close decision.

With Bud Crawford trying out the light middles, the welterweight title is there for the taking. Philadelphia fighter Jaron "Boots" Ennis (31-0, 28KOs #2), is being hyped as the next big name. His opponent had to bow out and David Anvanesyan (30-4-1, 18-2, #21) stepped in and gave Ennis all he wanted right to the bell of the 5th round. He wasn't winning but wasn't out of it, despite a knockdown in that round but the ring doctor stopped it. David's jaw was swollen and he might have had a broken jaw.

Neither Muratella nor Ennis looked like a threat to the top lightweights or to Crawford, (who took six rounds to take Anvanesyan), to me. we'll see.
