Fights to look out for on Saturday…
DAZN: Cruiserweight Alen “The Savage” Babic (8-0, 8 KOs) will battle former world title challenger Eric “Drummer Boy” Molina (28-7, 20 KOs) in a scheduled eight-rounder at the O2 Arena in London. The is the card that was to have featured Dillian Whyte vs. Otto Wallin before Whyte pulled out with an injury.
ESPN: Junior welterweight Jose “Chon” Zepeda (34-2, 26 KOs), winner of the 2020 Fight of the Year against Ivan Baranchyk, will face Josue “The Prodigy” Vargas (19-1, 9 KOs) in a ten-rounder at MSG’s Hulu Theater. The is the card that was to have featured the first title defense of WBO light heavyweight champion Joe Smith Jr. before Smith got COVID.
Showtime: WBA welterweight champion Jamal “Shango” James (27-1, 12 KOs) will defend his title against unbeaten contender Radzhab Butaev (13-0, 10 KOs), however, the best welterweight on the card could be in the co-feature where unbeaten Jaron “Boots” Ennis (27-0, 25 KOs) takes on Thomas Dulorme (25-5-1, 16 KOs) in a ten-rounder. The event takes place at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.
Have no idea who Jamal “Shango” James is and how he fits in the 147lb scene. The WBA champ we know and love is Ugas. The WBA is blocking a unification bout with Spence and ordering a tourny to figure out the best Welterweight. WBA is a mess.
I cannot wait for Shango to get K.T.F.O.
He should lose this fight.
I like Alen Babic. He is a cool dude. He should win a future bridgerweight championship, once the other 3 organizations open the doors. I am confident he will win this fight.
Speaketh … FJB.

Just what boxing needs-alphabets adding more meaningless weight divisions and champions.
I think the alphabet organisations have severly reduced the quality of the ‘world champions’ and generally messed up the sport a lot.
But I think another division is a good idea, mainly as some of the bigger HWs nowadays are absolutely massive in comparison to the smaller HWs.
Maybe a Super HW division wouldve been a better name, for fighters above a certain weight.
Just pushing heavyweights into divisions no one cares about.
I’d rather see ONE new belt in a new division than another interim/secondary title.
All boxng fans lost you after “he should win a…”
Jamal James is not focused. He is too busy with his crusades. And like Custer, Jamal will have his last stand, before he CRUSHES to the canvas. I think Butaev will knock JJ to the canvas. JJ is going to get KTFO.

Fight week! Yeah! You won’t see either of the pussy Paul brothers though because they can’t fight.
Nah, but they’re a couple of the highest paid boxers in the sport. One of them in works of making a fight with Tyson. It takes more than a pussy to be able to step between those ropes and under those bright lights. Those dudes got balls to make $hit happen.
If you want to call them boxers, if they’re the best boxing has then boxing sucks these days , that’s why mma has taken over, boxing’s a joke . I may not have the power to make it happen but I’d whip Jake and Logan in the same night in the ring

– Stop showing your man crush for the Paul bros.
Yes, free fights this weekend !!!!
Not sure how far Babic will go in the sport, but he seems hungry and is relentless. Molina is usually quick to bow out when under heavy pressure. 7 losses, all by stoppage. I think I know which way this one is going….
How can say Alec Babic is a cruiserweight if he is going to battle a 250 pounds fighter as Eric Molina is??? I think Babic is a 210 pounds heavyweight not cruiserweight as the article says…
