Boots, Bam, Keyshawn, and Subriel Matias headline an active week of boxing, plus more!
Tuesday, Nov. 5
TrillerTV+, 8:00 pm ET, CountryBox: Where Music Meets Boxing. You’ll never stop the music! And, so far, you can’t even keep it from meeting Boxing on a consistent once- or twice-a-month basis. CB:WMMB regular Clayton Q performs, and the billing also lists Leah Galvan Turner and special guest Aaron Partridge.
Thursday, Nov. 7
ESPN+, 6:30 pm ET, Osleys Iglesias vs Petro Ivanov. If you haven’t seen Iglesias yet? Here’s your fourth chance this year. If the 26 year old super middleweight isn’t already must-watch, he’s very close, combining beautiful technical ability with absolutely savage finishing power. Nine of his twelve pro fights have ended in two rounds or less, but this isn’t a hollow Berlanga streak — His last three wins were against steady, proven gatekeepers in Sena Agbeko, Evgeny Shvedenko, and Marcelo Coceres, none of whom lasted longer than 4:16 against Iglesias. He’ll face Ivanov, an 18-0-2 Ukranian who makes his North America debut. BLH will have live updates.
Friday, Nov. 8
ESPN+, 6:20 pm ET, Keyshawn Davis vs Gustavo Lemos. Davis is at home in Norfolk, Virginia to headline for the first time as a pro. Lemos is no soft touch, losing a robbery to Richardson Hitchins last time out where commentary openly mocked the scoring. TWO Davis brothers on the undercard, but you’ll probably be much more interested in Abdullah Mason. Ra’eese Aleem and Troy Isley also slated to appear. BLH will have live updates.
Saturday, Nov. 9
DAZN, 4:30 pm ET, Boots & Bam Prelims. All the action that’s not quite the main action. Presumably, two out of the three of Khalil Coe, Ammo Williams, and Tito Mercado will show up here.
PPV.COM, 6:00 pm ET, Subriel Matias vs Roberto Ramirez. Puerto Rico hosts a five-fight card headlined by Subriel Matias, returning to action for the first time since his June loss to Liam Paro. $39.99 American on PPV.com.
ProBox, 6:30 pm ET, Nicklaus Flaz vs Christian Gomez. ProBox branching out yet again, this time three days later than their usual Wednesday night slot, and 51 miles away from home base to Kissimmee, Florida. JoJo Diaz was the original headliner, and ProBox is still promoting his presence on the card on social media less than a week before fight night. But, he’s conspicuously absent from the YouTube live stream description, which only mentions Flaz vs Gomez and Darrelle Valsaint vs Angel Ruiz.
DAZN, 7:00 pm ET, Jaron “Boots” Ennis vs Karen Chukhadziahn 2 + Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez vs Pedro Guevara. Not one, but TWO thrilling young fighters in less-than-thrilling matchups! Philadelphia native Ennis gets the headline slot, rematching by IBF mandatory order a guy he already swept 12-0 in the most tedious fight of his career. Rodriguez fights for the third time in less than 12 months, taking a well-earned gentler touch than his last two victories against Juan Francisco Estrada and Sunny Edwards. Undercard features Ray Ford, looking to bounce back from his June loss to Nick Ball. Khalil Coe is 4th on Matchroom’s running order, but Tito Mercado is one of their exciting new signings, and Ammo Williams has been a reliable broadcast opener for them in the past. We’ll find out on Saturday who gets the 4th slot on the main show. BLH will have live updates.
