A very small boxing challenge with two bouts from Northern Ireland that doesn't have American television and another with American television that few people can see.
Two division champion Carl Frampton returns for the first time since losing the second of his two fights against Leo Santa Cruz against Horatio Garcia in what is a tuneup bout for a bigger next fight against any of three featherweight champions that have been mentioned-A third bout against Santa Cruz, IBF champ Lee Selby and WBO beltholder Oscar Valdez.
The co-feature has IBF junior bantamweight champ Jerwin Ancajas defending against hometown hero Jamie Conlan.
The winner is a major force in the suddenly hot junior bantamweight division and the style of the brawling Conlan against Ancajas, who doesn't mind mixing it up makes this a fight to be seen- even if you cannot see it live.
Bounce TV is a small network that next to no one has, yet PBC runs fight cards every once in a while there.
The main event isn't bad this time though as former title challenger Julian "J-Rock" Williams has his first major fight since being knocked out by Jermall Charlo against former world champion Ishe Smith.
Smith gets decent fights constantly usually due to the influence of Smith's top backer, Floyd Mayweather and usually goes rounds, even if he's a bit past his prime.
This fight normally wouldn't be enough to be on the challenge on its own, but since the two fights from Northern Ireland are on the weekend, I tossed it on the card.
