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, June 21 – Fontainebleau Las Vegas
Rafael Espinoza vs. Sergio Chirino – featherweight – 12 rounds
Espinoza will be attempting the maiden defense of the belt he snatched from Robeisy Ramirez in one of last year’s biggest upsets. Chirino is a more than credible, once-beaten foe that will surely serve as a measuring stick for the newly-minted champ. A fun scrap between two fighters with just one defeat and 46 career wins combined between the two of them.
