Here's a really solid trio of fights for a Shobox. Kayode recently entered The Ring's top 10 at cruiserweight, and while that might still be a bit premature, the Freddie Roach ward has shown major improvements and is looking like he'll be a force at cruiserweight, if his chin and stamina hold up. Iannuzzi's nickname may be "showstopper", but his last time out he won a decision over Jose Luis Herrera, making him only the second fighter ever to see a decision against the Colombian. Franco is a Cuban Olympian who has been stepping up very quickly. In only his ninth pro fight, he's taking on aggressive veteran Miranda, who is 32-2. It could be an ugly style clash, however. Marquez-Quintero pits the past of Gary Shaw's stable against the future. Quintero was once hyped as a serious prospect, and he makes exciting fights, but he's lost a couple of fights by knockout at this point. Marquez has been troubled out of the ring, but has looked good in it. While I doubt it's super competitive, this one has the makings of a war for as long as it lasts. (Badlefthook.com)
