Saw an article earlier today about some illegal rooster fighting gambling ring (they like putting "cockfighting" in headlines, as they would)
and it came to mind how you've been kept away from vcash matters more than usual lately

Cool. This one doesn't have the most urgency because the odds are so bad, but want to support Arslanbek.
Want to see how he comes back from that broken hand + loss. Better come back BLASTING, obviously.

Also, it's far more important that you (and the Rill Dill) are ready for all the fun on the 1st day of June.

Is this other dude coming off the couch or did he have a fight scheduled? @AppliedScience

Doesn't seem he had a fight scheduled, but he had a quick win in November, looks in reasonable shape, and probably has been in the gym because:
"Rovcanin, known for his role as the primary sparring partner for Filip Hrgovic, brings a blend of size and punching power to the ring." ^

Arslanbek doesn't want any of that to matter:
'“I have same goal to any opponent, to beat him, to destroy him,” Makhmudov (18-1, 17 knockouts) told The Ring menacingly.'

Yeah, Makhmudov is a monster. I know he got pieced up last time but he should hurt this dude.

By an underrated boxer and after his hand was broken.
We can give him some leniency regarding that if he returns to dominating

Spoiler

Seems he emphasized getting re-focused.
Strong mind and (hopefully, again with) strong hands.

I just found out yesterday that he broke his hand very early in that fight. That would do a number on you mentally. It's not MMA, you only have two weapons.

 

[Krixes]

He just killed that man!!!

Such hard shots.
Even while wanting Arslanbek to dominate, I was hoping Rovcanin could avoid permanent damage (and avoid falling completely out of the ring)
