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?

Also on this card:

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

Agustina Solange Vazquez vs. Sabrina Persona – women’s strawweight – 6 rounds

Nicole Schaefer vs. Mariya Agapova – women’s junior lightweight – 6 rounds
