Fight Night Program – Week of Jan. 4-10
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:
Thursday, January 4 – Emerald Queen Casino, Tacoma, Wash.
Gurgen Hovhannisyan vs. Colby Madison – heavyweight – 10 rounds
Tsotne Rogava vs. Dante Williams – heavyweight – 8 rounds
Dante Stone vs. Alexander Flores – heavyweight – 8 rounds
Nilo Guerrero vs. Chancellor Battenberg – junior lightweight – 6 rounds
Saturday, January 6 – Virgin Hotels, Las Vegas
Vergil Ortiz Jr. vs. Fredrick Lawson – junior middleweight – 10 rounds
All eyes will be on Ortiz and his long-anticipated return to action after several cancellations mainly due to health reasons. Lawson is a reasonable foe for this juncture, but Ortiz will have to do much better and very soon if he wants to earn his place in this competitive division soon.
