Fight Night Program – Week of Aug. 17-21
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, August 16 – Rivermarket, Tuscaloosa, Ala.
Deon Nicholson vs. Sergio Jimenez, 10 rounds, light heavyweights
Jessie Fletcher III vs. Marquis Hawthorne, 6 rounds, welterweights
Keontae Modley vs. Shaquille Cameron, 6 rounds, super middleweights
KeAndrae Leatherwood vs. Anthony Blake LaCaze, 6 rounds, super middleweights
Friday, August 16 – Coliseo de Combates, Panama City, Panama
Harvin Aguirre vs. Alberto Mosquera, 10 rounds, welterweights
Leonardo Carrillo vs. Lester Santi, 10 rounds, junior featherweight
Saturday, August 17 – Centre Videotron, Quebec City, Canada
Christian Mbilli vs. Sergiy Derevyanchenko, 10 rounds, super middleweights
Mbilli has been waiting in the wings for a few years now, waiting for an opportunity to shine and grab a belt in the 168-pound division. Unfortunately, this is Canelo’s land, and everyone else just lives in it. While he waits for the freckled boy wonder to give him a shot, the battle-hardened Derevyanchenko should be quite a stern test for us to see where Mbilli stands today.
Also on this card:
Arslanbek Makhmudov vs. Guido Vianello, 10 rounds, heavyweights
Osleys Iglesias vs. Sena Agbekol, 10 rounds, super middleweights
Leila Beaudoin vs. Lizbeth Crespo, 10 rounds, women’s junior lightweights
