Las Vegas - Rolling back to the MGM tonight here in Vegas for another Top Rank fight card, and looking at Jessie (NO nickname) Magdaleno vs. Yenifel (The Lightning) Vicente. It's a 10-round junior lightweight fight, with no title on the line.

Never get tired of the Tale of the Tape, so here you go. Magdaleno was born in Pomona, California, but calls Vegas home. He has a gorgeous 27-1 record with 18 KOs. NO nickname Jessie will tip the scale between a buck 26 and a buck 30, is 5'4" and has a 66.0" reach. His only loss came back in August of 2018 against Isaac Dogboe. He has been in with and beaten some of the best fighters in the world, including the great Nonito Donaire.

The Lightning is 33 years old, on his way to 34 June 26, from Azua, Dominican Republic, with a record of 36-4-2. He'll weigh in at around a buck 30, is 5'5" and has a 66" reach.

Jesse NO nickname is clearly the superior fighter here, and should have NO problem getting the W, but not prepared to wager $900 to win back a measly $100. And none of the round props really tickled me, so this one falls into the 'just watch/don't wager' category.
