This weekend, the eyes of the boxing will will be focused on the Forum in Inglewood, Calif. as top-rated middleweight Gennady Golovkin returns to face Willie Monroe Jr. Golovkin may not be the best pound-for-pound fighter on the card, however, as he is sharing the bill with Nicaragua’s sensational flyweight Roman Gonzalez, who faces off against veteran Edgar Sosa. The fights will air on HBO, and the sportsbooks have added a line on the eight-round bout scheduled between undefeated Ivan Morales (27-0) and veteran Danny Flores (14-6-1).
Not to be missed on Friday night, both ESPN2 Friday Night Fights and TruTV Boxing will air fight cards.
The ESPN2 show will feature a featherweight eight-round bout between a pair of undefeated fighters Luis Rosa (19-0) and Jonathan Perez (9-0) that has gotten a line at the books. The main event of Reynaldo Ojeda (16-0) and Monty Meza Clay (36-4) should also get attention at the books as we get clsoer to fight time.
