Refresh this page often as updates will be frequent 7:25 PM... Check back in with us in just over 90 minutes. 8:55... 5 minutes until we're underway. 9:00... The show's starting. Updates will start once punches are exchanged. 9:10... Jason Litzau is in the ring. On the front of his t-shirt are the faces of Arturo Gatti and Vernon Forrest. 9:12... Verquan Kimbrough's ready to go as well. The ring announcer is Michael Williams. 9:15... The fighters are in the center of the ring receiving their final instructions. 9:19... Litzau is having the better of the action so far. He's landed his right hand very effectively so far. There were a couple moments in round 1 where it looked like Kimbrough may have been a little stunned, and at one point he stumbled a little after eating a chopping right. 9:23... Kimbrough just landed a couple decent right hands early in round 2. He's looking a little out of his depth defensively though, as he's unable to really avoid getting hit clean in return. The action is nearly all from long range, and Litzau is also using his effectively. Kimbrough just landed a couple hard right hands. Litzau looked bothered by those. Litzau bangs Kimbrough back in return though, and they clinch. Now Litzau comes forward and bangs in a right hand. Litzau with a huge right hand that buzzes Kimbrough along the ropes. Kimbrough is holding on here. His legs don't look good. Another big right hand. Kimbrough is down. He's up with about 15 seconds left in the round, but he doesn't look good. He's got a nasty looking cut on the side of his right eye. 9:23... The knockdown was a hard right hand over Kimbrough's low left. 9:27... The cut is on the side of Kimbrough's eye. He's trying to use the jab to keep Litzau at a distance, but Litzau responds by banging home a hard right hand that drives Kimbrough back into the corner. Litzau follows up and down goes Kimbrough. He's up, and tries to fight back, with a looping right that just misses. Litzau is trying to finish things. Kimbrough backing up. He's eating right hands. His legs don't look good. Litzau drives him into the ropes and opens up. This should be stopped. It's all Litzau. Down goes Kimbrough. He's up... and amazingly the ref is letting this go. We've got 50 seconds left. Kimbrough is taking a lot of punishment. He doesn't have his legs. Litzau with another hard right hand. And another. This ref is TERRIBLE! He's got no idea. Kimbrough goes down again, and the ref rules a slip. Litzau keeps banging away. Kimbrough backing up. There is no reason why this ref hasn't stopped it. Kimbrough is just getting hammered here. There's the bell. There's no way this fight should go on. This is crazy. 9:28... Kimbrough's corner has stopped it. Thankfully. I NEVER want to see this ref ever again. That was absolutely appalling. He had several chances to stop the fight, but for some reason just let it go. 9:29... Kimbrough's okay. That should be said. But he took way more shots than he needed to. We're hearing that the fight was stopped by the doctor. At least someone has some sense. 9:30... I missed his name during the intros. Randy Phillips was the blood thirsty man in charge of the proceedings. 9:32... Next up is BJ Flores against Epifano Mendoza. 9:33... By the way the broadcasters for tonight's show are Barry Tompkins and Daniel Edouard. 9:35... Epifano Mendoza's in the ring. 9:38... Mendoza is no longer in the ring. He just headed to the locker room. Perhaps there's an equipment issue or an emergency bathroom break. Flores has just made his ring walk, and I imagine he's surprised to see he's the only one there. 9:39... Mendoza's back. He forgot his protective cup. He's now fully equipped. 9:42... The intro's are out of the way, and we're ready to go. 9:42... This one is scheduled for 10. 9:43... Tompkins points out that Mendoza is 23 pounds heavier than he's ever been before. 9:45... Both fighters cautious to start. Mendoza landed a looping overhand right. Not much on it though. Flores is sticking his jab out there. Flores with a left hook that is short. Mendoza responds with a chopping right hand that's short as well. Flores is now backing Mendoza up a little with the jab, Mendoza circling to his left. About 1:00 to go in the round. Flores with a 1-2 combo... the right hand landed nicely. Mendoza with another looping overhand right. It landed, but Flores doesn't appear bothered at all. He's slowly edging forward behind the jab. He's sticking it home effectively. He just misses with a follow-up right hand. There's the bell. 9:50... Tompkins mentions that Mendoza needs to find a way to counter BJ's jab, and he hasn't been able to do that. He shows a little aggression though, and comes forward with a right hand. BJ responds though, and has the better of it. Flores with a combo into the gloves as Mendoza backs up. Mendoza tries to come forward with a looping right hand, that BJ easily avoids. BJ with a nice combo that lands clean. Mendoza is backing up to his right. He throws a combo into the gloves. BJ with another nice combo. 1:00 to go. BJ tries to come forward with a 1-2, but Mendoza avoids it backing up. You get the feeling that if BJ opened up a little here, he could get Mendoza out of there, but he's been very cautious so far. He lands a nice jab. Now he lands a nice right hand. Flores in complete control as the round ends. 9:54... BJ is sticking the jab home. Mendoza comes forward, but misses with a left hook. BJ opens up and lands a nice right hand, followed by a hook that knocks Mendoza back. Another nice combo forces Mendoza into the ropes. BJ just looks a lot stronger... and he's a natural cruiser, so that's not a surprise. BJ with a left hand that backs Mendoza back. He lands a nice jab. BJ slowly edging forward here. He comes forward, with another combo that backs Mendoza up. It's all Flores here. It' also not very exciting. The pace is fairly slow, and Mendoza is just unable to really offer much in response. He doesn't pack the punch at this weight to really give BJ much to worry about. Flores with a 3 punch combo. Jab,right, hook. He just landed a heavy right hand over the top that backs Mendoza into the corner. Mendoza has the guard up covering up, as Flores fires a combo as the round comes to a close. 9:56... Mendoza's in trouble here early in the 4th. His left shoulder appears to be injured. It might be a blessing in disguise, because he's badly outgunned here. Mendoza trying to fight back, but he can't really lift his left hand. BJ has been very cautious in attacking. 2:00 to go in the round. BJ lands a left that backs Mendoza up. BJ could really jump on him now and finish it. Now Mendoza turns away holding his arm in pain. This one is over. 9:57... Mendoza might have a dislocated left shoulder. He's clearly in discomfort. 9:58... The official announcement... 1:19 seconds into round 4. Winner by TKO is BJ Flores. 10:00... According to Barry Tompkins, Flores is talking about fighting Vassilly Jirov. Isn't it about time BJ stepped up in competition and fighting Jirov is not doing that. 10:02... Up next is Danny Green vs Julio Cesar Dominguez. 10:05... It appears there will be a little bit of a weight for Green and Dominguez. In the meantime, we're getting a 4 rounder from earlier in the evening. 10:07... We've got two fighters making their pro-debut in this one. It's a super-featherweight contest. Frederick Bowen vs Yaundale Evans. The ref is Randy Phillips. I had just mentioned that I never want to see Mr. Phillips handling a bout again. So much for that wish. 10:09... This one is over in 40 seconds. Evans hurt Bowen almost immediately with a hard right hook, and followed up by banging Bowen along the ropes. Phillips quickly jumped in and stopped it. 10:11... That seemed a very early stoppage. Considering that happened earlier in the evening, perhaps someone suggested to Phillips that he refrain from giving the quick hook next time. That could explain why he let the Litzau/Kimbrough fight keep going when Kimbrough was clearly done. Either way, Phillips needs to use some better judgment next time a fighter is clearly finished. 10:15... We're almost ready for the next one. Danny Green is on his way in. 10:18... I jumped the gun a bit there. That was Dominguez heading in earlier. Green's just coming in now. 10:20... Michael Williams with the intros. This one should be getting underway shortly. 10:21... The ref is Freddie Steinwinder III. 10:23... We're underway. This one is scheduled for 12. Barry Tompkins just said that Dominguez looks a bit more like his accountant than a fighter. 10:27... Green is pressing forward. Dominguez has his gloves up in a bit of shell defense. He comes forward, and wings shots to the body. There might have been a clash of heads there. Green is patiently moving forward. Based on that early flurry, Eduoard comments that Dominguez' plan might be to fight in spurts and try and get lucky. He comes forward again, and bangs the body. He got a really nice right hand to the midsection in that time. Green firing the jab, but it's right into Dominguez' card. Dominguez just walked into a hard right hand, and he's wobbled. The ref is ruling that the ropes held him up I think has called it a knockdown. 10 seconds left in the round. Green with a jab, and hooks to the body. Green didn't really try and jump on Dominguez after the count. 10:28... That was a flush right hand on the button as Dominguez was coming in. He kind of fell forward and grabbed the ropes. I'd say a knockdown was a fair call. 10:31... Green is slowly edging forward to start the round. Dominguez tries to fire back with a right hand, but it's way short. Green is throwing the tighter shots. Dominguez is much wider with his. Green jabs to the body, and lands a nice hard jab upstairs that knocked Dominguez backwards. Green just missed with a right hand. He's patiently moving forward, as Dominguez is backing away to his left. Now Green hooks to the body with a left. Green with a jab. Dominguez hasn't opened up with anything this round. Just as I say that he comes forward with a flurry. All wide shots that Green copes with easily. Green just stings him with a right hand that seemed to wobble Dominguez a bit. Green could have really pressed there, but stays patient, and the round comes to a close. 10:35... Green comes out moving forward, firing the jab. Dominguez with the guard up, he fires a jab back and then tries to flurry to the body. Green with a nice heavy jab, and tries to follow up with a hook. Dominguez flicking out a few jabs here. He follows up with a wild left hand downstairs that misses. Green with a heavy right hand as they both fired rights at the same time.

Dominguez with another hook that landed, and Green comes back with a hard right that lands flush, and the bell rings. Dominguez tries to fire back after the bell and almost catches the ref!! 10:39... Dominguez trying to flick out the jab, but he's doing so from a distance that isn't going to land. Green just landed a nice counter shot on the button. Tompkins points out that there's blood on the cheek of Dominguez, but he's not sure where it's coming from. He's got a little swelling on the right eye. Green with a jab upstairs, and then a jab to the body. Green accidentally elbows Dominguez and immediately apologizes. Green with a couple jabs, and follows up with an uppercut.

Did Green just kiss Dominguez on the cheek in the clinch there!? The ref separates them. Dominguez still doesn't have his legs completely under him, but it looks like he's going to survive the round. No, he's not. Big combo and down goes Dominguez, and this one is over. 10:46... The first knock down was almost a half jab / half hook. Green finished Dominguez with a flurry along the ropes, punctuated by a right hand, left hook. Official time 2:53 seconds of round 5. 10:51... Jeff Lacy is having his hands wrapped at the moment, unless the clip we're seeing is from earlier in the evening. I'd guess with all the fights ending early so far, the main event might be some ways off from starting. 11:00... I'll post an update as soon as I find out when the fighters might be making their way in. Right now Tompkins and Edouard are chatting away, while a replay of Jones/Sheika plays. 11:05... According to Barry Tompkins, there's a delay in the locker room of Jeff Lacy. The state commission is there. Tompkins doesn't believe it will effect the fight, but it would be nice to know what the situation is. 11:13... Looks like things are moving again as it's time for the national anthem. 11:17... The issue appears to be glove related. The Mississippi state commission requires both fighters to wear the same kind of gloves. Jeff Lacy is not agreeing to that. 11:19... Barry Tompkins has just suggested that he and Daniel Edouard do a little tap dance to entertain the spectators during the delay. No, I'm not making that up. 11:22... We're getting a look inside Lacy's room. Lacy is bouncing up and down a little trying to stay warm. No gloves in sight at the moment. Roy is pacing around his room. He's got his gloves on. 11:26... Back to Lacy's room. Here's Lacy... "The commission want me to wear gloves that I can't even put my hand in... They want me to wear a glove that I've never wore in my life. Nothing against Grant, but I've never worn that in my life." 11:27... Supposedly there were no issues yesterday at the weigh-in, and Lacy was under the impression he'd be wearing Everlast gloves. 11:28... Over to Roy's room. Roy... "A glove is a glove, it's time to fight." 11:31... The gloves are coming on. Lacy bangs them together. Looks like we're finally going to get a fight. 11:36... Just Tompkins and Edouard chattering away here, with shots of the spectators patiently waiting for the fighters. 11:39... Jeff Lacy is on his way in. 11:40... Some scattered boos greet Lacy as he steps into the ring. 11:42... Here comes Roy. 11:43... Roy gets a big ovation as he steps through the ropes.
