Thursday, March 28, UFC Fight Pass, 9:00 pm ET, Xavier Wilson vs. John Arellano, Kendo Castaneda vs. Eudy Bernardo. This is another of Roy Jones Jr’s playing cards on the UFC carrier. Wilson is a 26-year-old Texan lightweight who may be in his first 8-rounder. Arrellano is also 26, but he turned pro in 2010 and didn’t combat from May 2014 until October of his final year, even as Wilson turned pro in 2016 and has fought regularly. Castaneda is a 15-0 junior welterweight prospect, taking up Bernardo, a 32-yr-vintage veteran who you cannot forget from losses to Mario Barrios or Mason Menard.
You can get a seven-day unfastened trial of UFC Fight Pass in case you’re bored on Thursday — I imply that if you love boxing, you can’t get sufficient of the stuff! BLH will have to stay covered. Saturday, March 30, 3:00 pm ET, Liam Smith vs. Sam Eggington, Anthony Fowler vs. Scott Fitzgerald, Joe Hughes vs. Robbie Davies Jr. Smith is seeking a win to return from a lively loss closing the summer season against Jaime Munguia. Eggington shouldn’t be a whole lot of problem for him on paper. Fowler-Fitzgerald matches unbeaten prospects at 154, and Hughes-Davies pits the European and British champions at 140.
Also, Philip Bowes will guard the Commonwealth junior welterweight name towards Tom Farrell, and David Price returns towards Kash Ali, plus more. BLH may have to stay covered. , 6:00 pm ET, Gvozdyk-Ngumbu Prelims. There are some first-rate combatants in motion in this undercard, maximum of all welterweight Kudratillo Abdukakhorov, who’s 15-0 (nine KO) and could face Japanese veteran Keita Obara, who pretty tons constantly either receives a KO or gets KO’d. BLH will have to stay covered. , 7:30 pm ET, Ryan Garcia vs. Jose Lopez, Angel Acosta vs. Ganigan Lopez. Garcia is a 20-yr-antique youngster who kicks ass at social media and has collected quite a following as a result.
He also has valid potential, and Golden Boy sees him as first-rate marketable, as they must. Acosta will shield his WBO 108-pound name inside the co-function against Ganigan Lopez, a former titleholder. There are many potentialities in motion on the undercard. The only one you likely most need to peer is Eduardo “Rocky” Hernandez, a 21-year-old vintage excellent featherweight who signed a co-promotional deal with Golden Boy and is a concept to have real star capacity. BLH may have to stay covered. ESPN, 10:00 pm ET, Oleksandr Gvozdyk vs Doudou Ngumbu, Egidijus Kavaliauskas vs Ray Robinson.
Gvozdyk is making the first defense of the WBC mild heavyweight name he took from Adonis Stevenson, finishing an extended reign, and…Well, he’s facing Doudou Ngumbu, a man who’s been around a long time but isn’t a legitimate contender within the division through any means. Over the years, Ngumbu has misplaced Isaac Chilemba, Igor Mikhalkin (three times), Pawel Glazewski, Nadjib Mohammedi, Andrzej Fonfara, and Umar Salamov. But he’s durable, having handiest been stopped once. Kavaliauskas is a person you’ll need to see in case you haven’t yet; the “Mean Machine” is Terence Crawford’s obligatory, and of the three men Top Rank has in-house right now (himself, Luis Collazo and Chris van Heerden) as feasible/likely challengers for Crawford inside the near destiny, properly, he might not be in particular exciting. However, he’s the most exciting. BLH may have life insurance.
