The weekend is approaching, and from Friday to Sunday it will be “war-of-hours” somewhere in the world. Every Thursday, The Ring will bring you the latest information on the most relevant fights you need to see this week at your fingertips, with a one-stop enhanced fight schedule. A quick checklist for the cognoscenti, a handy nuts and bolts guide for the boxing neophyte is what we aim for.
Here are this week’s most worthy fights:
Friday, September 27 – Madison Square Garden Theatre, New York
Sandy Ryan vs. Mikaela Mayer – welterweight – 10 rounds
There is no love lost between these two. They’ve already warmed things up in a heated press conference, and they vow to bring that heat to the ring as well. In a weekend dominated by women’s boxing, this could be the fight we remember most come December when we decide our annual awards. They have a lot of talent and energy to go along with their defiance, and that’s always a recipe for fun. Don’t blink.
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

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 receiving mixed results from several anti-doping tests following his last victory. He picked a helluva enemy to wash his name on. Person is a deadly assassin and somewhat dirty fighter who will not be afraid to do bad things against the reigning Ring champion. It won’t be pretty, but that’s the way we all like it, right?
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
