Vasily Lepikhin defeats Jackson Junior wins by UD.

Scores were 97-93, 97-93, 96-94

I caught this fight from the 5th round on. Jackson put up a better fight than most expected.

NBCSN commentator BJ Flores is the quintessential DWF. BJ always seems giddy when an afflete wins a round over a European fighter. Believe it or not, I'd rather hear Teddy Atlas.
