He fights former world champ Mauricio Pastrana tomorrow night on Versus. I don't think his match is being televised unless there's some early knockouts.

His win over Perez was pretty impressive considering how Perez did with other opponents. I haven't seen much of him though. He should win tonight though.

Matt "The Sharp Shooter"Â￾ Remillard (21-0, 12 KOs) kept his perfect record intact and retained his NABF Featherweight title as Rafael Lora (11-2, 5 KOs) retired in his corner after three completed rounds. Remillard used a solid body attack over those three rounds which took its toll on Lora and ultimately caused him to quit on his stool. Remillard felt vindicated after the fight, which was a rematch of their previous encounter which ended with him winning a controversial fourth round TKO over Lora.

Remillard signs with Top Rank

Undefeated, 24-year-old NABF and NABO champion Matt "Sharpshooter"Â￾ Remillard (23-0, 13 KOs), arguably America's leading featherweight, has signed a promotional contract with Top Rank. The Manchester, Connecticut fighter is rated #4 by the WBA and WBO, as well as #5 by the WBC. "Matt is a skilled, exciting fighter. We are pleased he has joined our company,"Â￾ said Bob Arum of Top Rank.

"Top Rank has some of the best fighters in the world,"Â￾ an ecstatic Remillard said. "It's the best promotional company in terms of moving fighters and getting them big fights. I'm really excited about signing with Top Rank. I remember when I first started fighting that Top Rank was the best promoter and now I'm finally there with them. Bob Arum and his team will get me to the next level."Â￾

Remillard has shown some signs being like a young Micky Ward, another New Englander known for his vicious, devastating body attacks. Lately, "Sharpshooter"Â￾ has been zeroing in on his opponents' livers with breath-taking shots and, consequently, sudden stoppages.

"Dealing with Top Rank was very professional,"Â￾ Remillard's manager Bret Hallenbeck noted about contract negotiations. "We're looking forward to working with a quality promotional company like Top Rank."Â￾

Ross Greenburg is setting up another white boxer to lose, like he did with Sergiy Dzinziruk.

As I said before the fight, Sergiy would have probably beaten anybody else at 154 and 160, but not Martinez.

But sometimes it backfires on Greenburg, like it did with Adamek-Arreola and Litzau-Caballero.

Mikey Garcia is the worst possible matchup for Remillard at this stage in his career.

Is this Mikey Garcia any good? Never heard of him. By the way, terminally ill with bladder cancer, Nick Charles will call the fight. Get ready for Lamps and the rest of the HBO crew to cry on camera when they introduce Charles.

Garcia is an elite prospect, quite similar to Brandon Rios and even comes from the same town as Bam Bam but slightly more rounded and probably his more power in single shots. Garcia will almost certainly stop Remillard who has changed his trainer recently.

Why can't Remillard sieze moment and beat Garcia? Let me see, HBO is giving me a great payday and giving me a national stage to excell on. Oh, Garcia is a step up in class, no, gotta protect my record, no thanks HBO. I would rather toil in obscurity and the club circuit for chump change and no exposure.

Are you guys kidding. Boxing is for fame, glory and making money. One has to risk to get the brass ring, remember that!

Because he's not good enough. Really that simple he can try but Garcia is somewhat a giant leap more skilled, more powerful and better. Remillard should put up a decent fight for a few rounds but Garcia is just too good.

No one said he shouldn't have taken the fight, it'll almost certainly be a career high payday, it'll easily be his most high profile fight, but that doesn't mean he has a cat in hells chance here.
