Big week to close out October with the return of Vassily Lomachencko as the big attraction.
WEDNESDAY
ProBox TV kicks off the week’s action from the Coliseo Roberto Clemente in San Juan, Puerto Rico with super featherweight Bryan Chevalier (17-1-1, 13 KOs) against Cesar “Corazon” Juarez (27-12, 20 KOs).
THURSDAY
Punching Grace has a PPV stream from Théâtre du Casino Lac-Leamy in Gatineau, Quebec, Canada, featuring super lightweight Yves Ulysse Jr (21-2, 12 KOs) against Jose Macias Enriquez (16-1-2, 7 KOs). Also, super lightweight Steve Claggett (32-7-2, 22 KOs) meets Jonathan Jose Eniz (30-17-1, 13 KOs).
FRIDAY
ESPN+ has a heavyweight clash from the Atlantico in Rome, Italy, featuring undefeated heavyweight Olympian Guido Vianello (9-0-1, 9
KO) against Jay McFarlane (13-6, 5 KO).
SATURDAY
ESPN+ will be at the Hulu Theater inside Madison Square Garden, NYC for the return of two-time Olympic gold medalist, three-division world titlist Vasiliy “Loma” Lomachenko (16-2, 11 KO) against Jamaine “The Technician” Ortiz (16-0-1, 8 KO) in a lightweight bout. The co-feature featherweight Robeisy “El Tren” Ramirez (10-1, 6 KOs) against Jose Matias Romero (26-2, 9 KOs). Like Loma, Ramirez is a two-time Olympic gold medalist.
In the first of two boxing shows on DAZN, undisputed female lightweight champion Katie Taylor (21-0, 6 KOs) is back in action, facing Karen Carabajal (19-0, 2 KOs) from Wembley Arena in London. Former world champion Kiko Martinez (43-11-2, 30 KOs) meets Jordan Gill (27-1-1, 8 KOs) for the Euro featherweight crown in the co-feature.
The second DAZN show features an interesting lightweight showdown between former world champion Joseph “JoJo” Diaz (32-2-1, 15 KOs) and unbeaten William Zepeda (26-0, 23 KOs) from the Pechanga Arena in San Diego. Also seeing action is popular welterweight Alexis “Lex” Rocha (20-1, 13 KOs) against Jesus “Ricky” Perez (24-3, 18 KOs).
Showtime Sports has a $59.95 PPV featuring cruiserweight Jake “The Problem Child” Paul against UFC legend Anderson “The Spider” Silva from the Desert Diamond Arena (formerly Gila River Arena) in Phoenix. Nothing really PPV-worthy on the undercard, so you’re buying this for the main event.
Who would have ever thought a Youtuber would be fighting on PPV for $59.95? I can’t knock the hustle. If folks are supporting it, make the money.
On to real fight news, Lomachenko is back and is expected to win. I look forward to the post-fight interview as to whether he POINT BLANK wants to fight Haney or not. Lomachenko chose not to fight Haney 3 years ago when he was mandatory. All roads- lead to Haney. I hope Lomachenko accepts the challenge.
Some interesting things, but fight of the week, at least on paper, definitely should be Diaz – Zepeda.
Its a busy weekend for boxing. I do find it interesting that Jake Paul is not doing his normal thing. He’s not doing a ton of interviews, one on one’s and the over the top postings. It seems like he is taking this fight more serious than all the others. No matter what people say Jake is no longer just a “youtuber”. He is a pro boxer with his biggest test to date in front of him. Silva beat a world class boxer so its going to be interesting to see how well Jake does. This is not a sure thing fight.
Its going to be nice seeing Lomachenko in the ring again. He has so much going on and so much on his mind I don’t know how he was able to train for this fight.
Ill get to see how Katie Taylor does after her last fight. Personally I thought she lost that one, but it wasn’t a robbery. I just had her down by two and there were rounds that could have gone either way. In the end you have to respect the final call and move on.
I hope you aren’t referring to Chavez Jr. when you say Silva beat a “world class boxer”. Also, Jake “The Fake” Paul is not a pro boxer. Pro boxers fight other pro boxers and work their way up the rankings. This guy fights 50 year old retired basketball players and has been MMA fighters. Most of which are much smaller than him. He’s an absolute joke. I hope Silva boxes circles around him and embarrasses him. Any cruiserweight in the top 30 would destroy Jake the Fake.
“Nothing really PPV-worthy on the undercard, so you’re buying this for the main event.” Um no, no I’ am not
