Fight Night Program – Week of May 10-15
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, May 10 – Midas Hotel and Casino, Manila, Philippines
Marlon Tapales vs. Nattapong Jankaew – junior featherweight – 10 rounds
Reymart Gaballo vs. Kenbun Torres – bantamweight – 10 rounds
Friday, May 10 – Seneca Niagara Casino, Niagara Falls, N.Y.
Arnold Gonzalez vs. Esneiker Correa – welterweight – 10 rounds
Mikiah Kreps vs. Melissa Parker – women’s junior featherweight – 8 rounds
Alexander Castellano vs. Miguel Carrizo – junior featherweight – 8 rounds
Gerffred Ngayot vs. Luis Perez Salas – lightweight – 6 rounds
Saturday, May 11 – RAC Arena, Perth, Australia
Vasiliy Lomachenko vs. George Kambosos Jr. – lightweight – 12 rounds
Kambosos will need all the inspiration he could get from his countrymen in this tall order of a fight against one of the finest technicians in boxing history. Lomachenko’s age is another minor advantage for Kambosos in a fight that won’t have of those going for him.
What to expect in this fight: Expect Kambosos to go for the only viable option for him, which is to turn this into a brawl. Good luck with that, sir, but smart money says Loma takes this one in another pure boxing masterclass.
Andrew Moloney vs. Pedro Guevara – junior bantamweight – 12 rounds
Nina Hughes vs. Cherneka Johnson – women’s bantamweight – 10 rounds
Imam Khataev vs. Ricards Bolotniks – light heavyweight – 10 rounds
Joe Goodall vs. Faiga Opelu – heavyweight – 10 rounds
Hemi Ahio vs. Lucas Browne – heavyweight – 8 rounds
Where to watch it: ESPN, ESPN Deportes, ESPN+
Saturday, May 11 – Cardiff Intl. Arena, Cardiff, Wales
Jessica McCaskill vs. Lauren Price – women’s welterweight – 10 rounds
McCaskill was expected to become a top-three pound-for-pound talent but her career slipped a little bit, and she will need to summon all her talents for this one. Price was a stellar amateur and has become one of boxing’s hottest prospects. It’s put-up-or-shut-up time for both of them in this ultimate crossroads bout.
What to expect in this fight: Tough out for CasKilla in this one. Price will make her pay dearly for any mistakes she could make, and a win by the British blonde will only be considered a minor upset if it happens.
Rhys Edwards vs. Thomas Patrick Ward – featherweight – 10 rounds
Mark Jeffers vs. Darren Johnstone – super middleweight – 10 rounds
Hughie Fury vs. Patrick Korte – heavyweight – 8 rounds
Kane Shepherd vs. Ishmael Ellis – junior lightweight – 6 rounds
