Fight Night Program – Week of September 26-October 2
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, September 27 – Madison Square Garden Theater, New York
Sandy Ryan vs. Mikaela Mayer – welterweight – 10 rounds
There’s no love lost between these two. They already set things up nicely in a fiery press conference, and they vow to bring that heat into the ring as well. In a weekend ruled by women’s boxing, this one could be the fight we’ll remember the most in December when we decide our annual awards. They have plenty of talent and power to go with their mutual contempt, and that’s always a fun recipe. Blink not.
Also on this card:
Xander Zayas vs. Damian Sosa – junior middleweight – 10 rounds
Bruce Carrington vs. Sulaiman Segawa – featherweight – 10 rounds
Vito Mielnicki Jr. vs. Khalil El Harraz – junior middleweight – 10 rounds
Rohan Polanco vs. Marcelino Lopez – junior welterweight – 10 rounds
Elvis Rodriguez vs. Kendo Castaneda – junior welterweight – 10 rounds
Delante Johnson vs. Yomar Alamo – junior welterweight – 8 rounds
Floyd Diaz vs. Mario Hernandez – bantamweight – 8 rounds
Where to watch it: ESPN, ESPN Deportes, ESPN+
Friday, September 27 – Lux Studios, Atlanta, Ga.
Alycia Baumgardner vs. Delfine Persoon – women’s junior lightweight – 10 rounds
Baumgardner has been under intense scrutiny after yielding mixed results in a couple of anti-doping tests following her last win. She picked a helluva foe to clear her name against. Persoon is a murderous puncher and a somewhat dirty fighter who won’t be afraid of roughing things up against the reigning Ring champion. It won’t be pretty, but that’s the way we all like it, ain’t it?

Rosalinda Rodriguez vs. Amy Naert – women’s bantamweight – 8 rounds
