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:

Where to watch it: ESPN+
Friday, July 12 – Polideportivo Alexis Arguello, Managua, Nicaragua
Roman Gonzalez vs. Rober Barrera – bantamweight – 12 rounds
On your feet, everyone: an all-time great starts his farewell tour. In case you’ve been living under a rock, “Chocolatito” is a future first-round ballot Hall of Famer who embodies everything that boxing should be: heart, brain and courage, to go with textbook boxing skills and ring IQ. He returns to action in his hometown after a long absence, and we should all tune in and savor him while we can.

Saturday, July 13 – Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia
Jaron Ennis vs. David Avanesyan – welterweight – 12 rounds
“Boots” Ennis is destined to become a top pound-for-pound talent in the near future, and this fight should be another opportunity to display his amazing array of skills. If you’re not following his progress, you really should.
Also on this card:
Jalil Hackett vs. Peter Dobson – welterweight – 12 rounds
Skye Nicolson vs. Dyana Vargas – women’s featherweight – 12 rounds

Where to watch it: DAZN
Saturday, July 13 – Palms, Las Vegas
Janibek Alimkhanuly vs. Andrei Mikhailovich – middleweight – 12 rounds
“Qazaq Style” is quickly becoming one of the main attractions in a middleweight division that has not been as active and as deep as one would wish from one of boxing’s elite weight classes. The unbeaten Mikhailovich should be a solid test until Janibek unleashes the beast inside him and ends the fight before the final bell.
Also on this card:
Raymond Muratalla vs. Tevin Farmer – lightweight – 12 rounds
Ruben Villa vs. Sulaiman Segawa – featherweight – 12 rounds
Jonathan Lopez vs. Leonardo Padilla – junior lightweight – 12 rounds
Charlie Sheehy vs. Ricardo Quiroz – junior welterweight – 12 rounds
