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:
Saturday, August 3 – BMO Stadium, Los Angeles
Israil Madrimov vs. Terence Crawford – junior middleweight – 12 rounds
On paper, it’s graduation night for a future all-time great and first ballot Hall of Famer. Crawford is trying to lift a belt in a fourth division, and he may do it in impressive fashion. But don’t expect a knockout or a shutout. Madrimov is a battle-hardened former amateur star who has a bit more than a puncher’s chance to score a massive upset. Smart money says Crawford by five or more points, but the main reward will be watching one of boxing’s best-ever in action once again.
Also on this card:
Isaac Cruz vs. Jose Valenzuela – junior welterweight – 12 rounds
David Morrell vs. Radivoje Kalajdzic – light heavyweight – 12 rounds
Andy Ruiz vs. Jarrell Miller – heavyweight – 12 rounds
Jared Anderson vs. Martin Bakole – heavyweight – 10 rounds
Andy Cruz vs. Antonio Moran – lightweight – 10 rounds
