Official highlights
good return of mickey
Rojas was a little weird
After a long rest Mickey is back however, a little bit rusted. He did well after a first round at very slow pace where he analyzed his rival capabilities. Rojas did reasonable fine within his possibilities but they looks like that being from a different league. I guess it was a good choice for his return but for on his next bout should be fitting a boxer up to his level.
