Premier Boxing Champions on ESPN Picks

Junior Welterweight Bout: Sergey Lipinets (9-0) vs. Walter Castillo (26-3-1)

Nolan Howell: Castillo has a decent enough record to look competitive here and is on the same level matchmaking wise, but Lipinets is clearly the fighter to be showcased here with gradual steps up in competition. Lipinets looked impressive last time out with a KO and I think he wants to make this a quick night as he continues to build status on these PBC shows. Sergey Lipinets by fourth-round TKO.

Featherweight Bout: Rafael Vazquez (16-2) vs. Tugstsogt Nyambayar (5-0)

Nolan: A fine step-up in competition for the Olympian Nyambayar here, but we know the deal. Tugstsogt Nyambayar by eighth-round TKO.
