Larkin is riding a 2-fight win streak that has seen him pick up back to back TKO wins. The streak came after dropping to welterweight after a 3 fight skid. <\/p>\n
Tumenov on the other hand is riding a 4-fight win streak that has seen him pick up impressive wins over Anthony Lapsley, Matt Dwyer, Nico Musoke, and most recently Alan Jouban.<\/p>\n
