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, March 1 – Telford Intl. Centre, Telford, England
Abass Baraou vs. Sam Eggington – junior middleweight – 12 rounds
Germany’s Baraou had his career derailed by a few unforeseen circumstances in the past few years, but he is now under a new management and looking forward to leave that stretch of bad luck behind. Eggington will tell us whether he’s ready for that next level or not.
Also on this card:
Andrei Dascalu vs. Joe Jackson-Brown – super middleweight – 10 rounds
Dan Toward vs. Frank Madsen – junior middleweight – 6 rounds
Ryan Kelly vs. Ioan Alexandru Lutic – middleweight – 6 rounds
Gully Powar vs. Angelo Turco – junior lightweight – 6 rounds
Elliot Whale vs. Fernando Mosquera – welterweight – 6 rounds
Saturday, March 2 – Turning Stone Casino, Verona, N.Y.
Luis Alberto Lopez vs. Reiya Abe – featherweight – 12 rounds
Lopez claims he’s not looking past Abe in this tough defense, but he’s already talking unification with some of the other champs in the division. Abe is coming off a career-best win over former titlist Kiko Martinez, and it won’t be wise for Lopez to miss the fact that his Japanese foe has momentum on his side. Could be the fight of the weekend.
Also on this card:
Otabek Kholmatov vs. Raymond Ford – featherweight – 12 rounds
Brian Norman Jr. vs. Janelson Bocachica – welterweight – 10 rounds
Rohan Polanco vs. Tarik Zaina – junior welterweight – 8 rounds
Troy Isley vs. Marcos Hernandez – middleweight – 8 rounds
Brandon Moore vs. Helaman Olguin – heavyweight – 8 rounds
Floyd Diaz vs. Edwin Rodriguez – bantamweight – 8 rounds
Nico Ali Walsh vs. Charles Stanford – middleweight – 6 rounds

Saturday, March 2 – Coliseo Jose Agrelot, San Juan, Puerto Rico
Amanda Serrano vs. Nina Meinke – women’s featherweight – 12 rounds
Nothing quite a hero’s welcome, especially in a place that is so passionate about its heroes like the island of Puerto Rico. Ring champ Serrano already fought there a few times, but this one is a full-blown homecoming in one of the island’s most modern stadiums, and it should be quite the show if you happen to be there to witness it.
Also on this card:
Jonathan Gonzalez vs. Rene Santiago – junior flyweight – 12 rounds
Jake Paul vs. Ryan Bourland – cruiserweight – 8 rounds
Javon Walton vs. Joshua Torres – featherweight – 4 rounds
