Lightweights headline espn this week.

Ji Hoon Kim(19-5) vs Tyrone Harris(24-5) in a 10 round main event.

Ruslan Provodnikov(14-0) vs Javier Jauregui(53-16-2) in a 10 round fight.

Maxim Vlasov(15-0) vs Julius Fogle(15-1)

Rest of the line up:

Fights look pretty evenly matched except for one.

Australian Daniel Dawson makes his United States debut tonight.
Dawson has a record of 34-1 and is being allowed to fight Joshua Onyango whose record is 15-18-1.
I'm a little surprised the CSAC is allowing what appears to be an extreme mis-match on paper and I hope this fight doesn't end up being televised.

espn needs to get Kim and Provodnikov on their show more often if possible.
I've seen them both on FNF a few times now and like Teddy says they are tv friendly fighters.
Both like to throw a lot of punches and neither can get out of the way of anything coming back. Provodnikov should probably avoid the big names at 140 for awhile imo.
Good show with another good crowd for espn this week, 4 of the 5 FNF episodes this year have been good ones.

Tessitore had a great line when the two heavyweights were on late in the show.
One was 6'4" 202lbs the other was 5'10" 263lbs, he said when they stood beside each other they looked like the number 10 lol.

True. Both were very fun fighters to watch. Prov was a pace-pusher who delivered shots constantly, while Kim showed he could turn it on and demolish a dude at any time he pleased.
