10/20/2023 12:22 PM
The weekend is approaching, and from Friday to Sunday it will be "fight-o-clock" somewhere in the world. Every Thursday, The Ring will bring you the most up-to-date information on the most relevant fights you need to see in this week-at-a-glance, one-stop enhanced fight schedule. A quick checklist for the cognoscenti, a useful nuts-and-bolts guide for the boxing neophyte is what we’re aiming at.
Here are this week's most relevant fights:
Friday, October 20 – Auditorio Municipal, Tijuana, Mexico
Jose Salas vs. Florentino Hernandez, 10 rounds, featherweights
Ricardo Salas vs. Chester Parada, 10 rounds, welterweight
Yesica Bopp vs. Graciela Cortes, 8 rounds, junior bantamweight
Friday, October 20 – Domo de la Feria, Fresnillo, Mexico
Bryan Mercado Vazquez vs. Mzuvukile Magwaca, 8 rounds, junior featherweight
Lourdes Juarez vs. Mayela Perez, 8 rounds, flyweight
Friday, October 20 – Universal Sports Palace, Perm, Russia
Albert Batyrgaziev vs. Ender Luces, 10 rounds, lightweights
Pavel Sosulin vs. Bakhromjon Fuzilov, 10 rounds, junior middleweight
Saturday, October 21 – Echo Arena, Liverpool, England
Jack Catterall vs. Jorge Linares, 12 rounds, junior welterweights
Catterall is in the best moment of his professional run after a career-best performance against Josh Taylor last year, and he will try to shake off the frustration of that unfair loss against a legend in Linares, a three-weight titlist who always comes to fight. Beautiful matchup.
Also on this card:
Peter McGrail vs. Fran Mendoza, 10 rounds, junior featherweights
Aqib Fiaz vs. Reece Bellotti, 12 rounds, junior lightweight
Shabaz Masoud vs. Jose Sanmartin, 10 rounds, junior featherweights
Paddy Lacey vs. Owen Kirk, 8 rounds, middleweights
Campbell Hatton vs. Jamie Sampson, 8 rounds, junior welterweights
Where to watch it: DAZN
Saturday, October 21 – Kia Forum, Inglewood, Calif.
Alexis Rocha vs. Giovani Santillan, 12 rounds, welterweights
Rocha is not known for taking the easy road, and he will try to remain in the race for a title shot with a fight against the unbeaten Santillan, a superb boxer with decent power. A high-stakes crossroads bout between two fighters who may be a bit overeager to get to that next level. Whoever makes the first mistake will regret it.
The winner may go on to: The long-awaited title bout, presumably in the WBO since that's where both of them are ranked.
Also on this card:
John "Scrappy" Ramirez vs. Ronal Batista, 12 rounds, junior bantamweight
Arely Muciño vs. Gabriela Fundora, 10 rounds, women's flyweight
