When the Danny O’Connor-Jose Ramirez fight got cancelled after O’Connor’s bad weight cut, the opportunity for another fighter to rise to the occasion and make a huge statement this weekend arose. Unfortunately, nobody did, and the weekend was a largely forgettable one in the world of boxing. However, there were a few good wins from a couple of notable fighters that do warrant mention.
On the Fresno, California, card which was supposed to be headlined by the Ramirez-O’Connor matchup, the fight between Egidijus Kavaliauskas and Juan Carlos Abreu was moved to the main event spot.
