stephens is strong but what I respect about yair el bello is that he evolves in american camps he doesn't stay in mexican camps after a loss.

Ridiculous elbow

Solid matchup!
hope it doesn't fly under the radar but that the fight gets the attention that it deserves. And I hope that it goes at least 2 full rounds back and forth.
