Friday, March 15, 2019

What: Tevin Farmer (28-4-1, 6 KOs; pictured below, off IG) vs. Jono Carroll  (16-0-1, 3 KOs)

Tevin Farmer is the favorite on March 15 against Jono Carroll.

Where: Liacouras Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Channel: DAZN

Time: 9 pm ET

Odds: Farmer -1000, Carroll +600

Synopsis: It’s been a war of words between IBF junior lightweight titleholder Farmer, 28, and Dublin-based contender Carroll, 26. The two will finally square off in a noteworthy battle between two of boxing’s most interesting 130-pounders. Farmer is a late-blossoming star. He learned the professional game the hard way through tough losses early in his career. But he’s on the right track now and has many people excited about where he might be headed. Carroll has taken a similar path. He started his boxing career as a way to stay in shape in Australia but leaped onto the world stage in grand fashion by winning Prizefighter 33 tournament in 2014.

Other Bouts: Lightweight phenom Katie Taylor, perhaps the best overall fighter in women’s boxing,  takes on fellow titleholder Rose Volante in a unification bout. The undercard also features ever-dangerous veteran Gabriel Rosado vs Maciej Sulecki in a middleweight showdown as well as and former lightweight title challenger Luke Campbell in tune-up action. The winner of Rosado-Sulecki will reportedly challenge WBO champ, Demetrius Andrade, next.

Saturday, March 16, 2019

What: Erroll Spence Jr. (24-0, 21 KOs; pictured below) vs. Mikey Garcia (39-0, 30 KOs)

Errol Spence and Mikey Garcia made weight on March 15.

Where: AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas

Channel: PBC on Fox PPV

Time:  9 pm ET

Odds: Spence -400, Garcia +325

Synopsis: IBF welterweight champion Spence, 29, hasn’t been able to lure any of the other top 147-pound fighters into the ring with him, so enter pound-for-pound star Garcia, 31, in a legacy-defining battle of undefeated elites. The key question surrounding this pay-per-view event is whether Garcia can seriously compete at welterweight. He’s never fought there and has only fought twice at 140. Spence should help provide the answer to that question as he’s considered the very best in the division alongside Terence Crawford.

Other Bouts: Former heavyweight titleholder Charles Martin tries to get back in the win column against Gregory Corbin in a 10-round opening event that will be broadcast on FS1. The televised PPV undercard includes undefeated 168-pounder David Benavidez taking on J’Leon Love, undefeated bantamweight Luis Nery taking on McJoe Arroyo, and veteran heavyweight Chris Arreola returning to the ring for the second leg of his comeback trek against Jean Pierre Augustin.

Sunday, March 17, 2019

What: Michael Conlan (10-0, 6 KOs) vs. Ruben Garcia Hernandez (24-3-2, 10 KOs)

Where: Madison Square Garden Theater in New York, New York

Channel: ESPN+

Time: 6 pm ET

Odds: Conlan -10000, Hernandez +1600

Synopsis: Former Irish amateur standout Conlan, 27, takes on Hernandez on a St. Patrick’s Day featherweight scrap on ESPN+. Conlan is a solid athlete who might be on his way to competing for world titles. Hernandez will be a good measuring stick. The 25-year-old has gone rounds with the likes of Nonito Donaire and could provide solid competition for Conlan’s second scheduled 10-rounder.

Other Bouts: Other action includes veteran welterweight Luis Collazo, 37, taking on gritty 29-year-old Samuel Vargas in a welterweight clash, along with a bantamweight battle between Paddy Barnes and Oscar Mojica.
