The featherweight division will soon be superstar's Naoya Inoue's next goal, and every title bout in this division is a round-robin in the Inoue sweepstakes.

Andrew Cain vs. Lazaro Casseres – junior featherweight – 10 rounds

Colbert is still trying to regain his previous status as one of boxing's most promising and entertaining fighters. The general idea is that those years have already gone, but he treats every fight as a crossroads bout, and this one definitely is.
