Coming Up in Boxing

I'll be making this a companion piece to the monthly (or bi-weekly) MMA feature.  Some good fights coming up, including the real match of the year.

HBO Boxing After Dark (September 9, 10:15)
1. Super Flyweight (115):  (4) Carlos Cuadras, Mexico vs. (6) Juan Francisco Estrada, Mexico
2. ***Marquee Matchup***Super Flyweight (115):  (1) Srisaket Sor Rungvisai, Thailand vs. (2) Roman Gonzalez, Nicaragua
-For Srisaket's WBC World Super Flyweight Title

HBO Pay-Per-View (September 16, 8:00)
***"Marquee Matchup***Middleweight (160): (1) Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, Mexico vs. (2) Gennady Golovkin, Kazakhstan (c)
-For Golovkin's IBF World Middleweight Title, International Boxing Organization World Middleweight Title, WBA World Super Middleweight World Title, and WBC World Middleweight Title

I use BoxRec for my rankings; it's not perfect but they are relatively unbiased.  Even though Golovkin holds all of the titles listed above, he's still ranked number 2 by BoxRec.

HBO Boxing After Dark (September 23, 10:15)
Lightweight (135): (2) Jorge Linares, Venezuela vs. (6) Luke Campbell, United Kingdom
-For Linares's WBA World Lightweight Title

ESPN (October 31, 2017, 10:30)
Super Bantamweight (122):  (2) Jesse Magdaleno vs. (10) Cesar Juarez, Mexico
-For Magdaleno's WBO World Super Bantamweight Title
