Lerone Murphy is a very good fighter. Undefeated and now likely ranked inside the top ten, the UK native is on the rise again. But Lerone Murphy was well received, having put on a somewhat boring performance. When looking at what we should see next for Lerone Murphy, a Aljamain Sterling-type fight makes the most sense. Josh Emmett has long been an explosive option for the featherweight division.

With dynamite in his hands, Josh Emmett can put anyone away at any time. Now 40, and having lost to three slick boxers in four fights, it seems that Father Time has passed him by. Should Josh Emmett retire?

Chang Ho Lee is billed as the "Korean Khabib." Let's discuss why that's not a fair thing to thrust on him. The Korean bantamweight took on Cortavious Ramious and found himself in some tough spots. But that didn't deter Chang Ho Lee. Instead, he fought through the bad positions his opponent forced him into and managed to get the second round finish. All in all, it was a much better sophomore outing for Chang Ho Lee.

Brad Tavares and Gerald Meerschaert was one of the more predictable fights on the card if we're being honest. Brad Tavares doesn't finish anyone but is near impossible to take and keep down. Gerald Meerschaert also cannot take anyone down. But the issue for GM3 is that his whole game is predicated on him being able to actually take people down. Brad Tavares denied him all night.
