Saturday, June 29 – Footprint Center, Phoenix
Juan Francisco Estrada vs. Jesse Rodriguez – junior bantamweight – 12 rounds
Crossroads for years. A lot has been said about the 10-year difference between the two fighters, but the experience factor should be considered. Estrada will try to defend his Ring championship against one of the most fearless and ambitious young boxers in any division. Regardless of the outcome, the fight should go as well as everyone thinks it will.
Also on this card:
Sunny Edwards vs. Adrian Curiel – flyweight – 12 rounds
Yamileth Mercado vs. Ramla Ali – women's junior featherweight – 10 rounds
Arturo Cardenas vs. Danny Barrios – junior featherweight – 10 rounds
Gabriel Muratalla vs. Carlos Fontes – bantamweight – 8 rounds
Where to watch it: DAZN
Saturday, June 29 – James L. Knight Center, Miami
Teofimo Lopez vs. Steve Claggett – junior welterweight – 12 rounds
Lopez is always an entertaining and impressive champion, partly because of what he does in the ring but also because of what he doesn't do. There is a tendency for him to put himself at the level of his opponent. Lopez steps up when the opponent wants to stretch, but can also lose focus if not challenged enough. If he finds Claggett reckless we could have the Upset of the Year. I wouldn't bet my rent money on it, but it will still be a fun fight to watch – if it continues.
Also on this card:
Robeisy Ramirez vs. Brandon Leon Benitez – featherweight – 10 rounds
Sona Akale vs. Nico Ali Walsh – middleweight – 6 rounds
Elvis Rodriguez vs. Jino Rodrigo – junior welterweight – 10 rounds
