Friday, June 28 – Entertainment and Sports Arena, Washington, D.C.

Lamont Roach Jr. vs. Feargal McCrory – junior lightweight – 12 rounds

Roach is one of the finest boxer-punchers in his weight region, and it’s just a matter of time before his stock goes up. Ireland’s McCrory will be a stern test as he tries to impress his adoptive US crowd in a title fight that has the potential to steal the spotlight in a crowded weekend.

Saturday, June 29 – Footprint Center, Phoenix

Juan Francisco Estrada vs. Jesse Rodriguez – junior bantamweight – 12 rounds

A crossroads bout for the ages. Much has been said about the 10-year difference between these two fighters, but the experience factor is also to be taken into account. Estrada will try to defend his Ring championship against one of the most fearless and ambitious young fighters in any division. Regardless of the result, the fight should be as explosive as everyone thinks it will be.

Also on this card:

Sunny Edwards vs. Adrian Curiel – flyweight – 12 rounds

Yamileth Mercado vs. Ramla Ali – women’s junior featherweight – 10 rounds

Arturo Cardenas vs. Danny Barrios – junior featherweight – 10 rounds

Gabriel Muratalla vs. Carlos Fontes – bantamweight – 8 rounds

Where to watch it: DAZN

Saturday, June 29 – James L. Knight Center, Miami

Teofimo Lopez vs. Steve Claggett – junior welterweight – 12 rounds

Lopez is always an entertaining and intriguing fighter, in part because of what he does in the ring but also because of what he doesn’t do. There’s a tendency for him to place himself at the level of his opponent. Lopez rises to the occasion when the rival warrants the stretch, but can also lose focus if not sufficiently challenged. If he gets careless against Claggett we may have the Upset of the Year. I wouldn’t bet my rent money on it, but it will still be a fun fight to watch – while it lasts.

Also on this card:

Robeisy Ramirez vs. Brandon Leon Benitez – featherweight – 10 rounds

Sona Akale vs. Nico Ali Walsh – middleweight – 6 rounds

Elvis Rodriguez vs. Jino Rodrigo – junior welterweight – 10 rounds

Yan Santana vs. Brandon Valdes – featherweight – 10 rounds
