Top Boxing Matches this Weekend: A Welterweight and Flyweight Championship await you!

Since we have already covered the UFC action this weekend, it’s time to now turn our attention to boxing.

For this reason, we have a pretty busy schedule coming our way over the next few days, but we have narrowed it down to 4 fights that we really want to watch.

 

What are the Top Boxing Matches this Weekend?

In summary, we are now going to take a quick look at each of these bouts, making predictions for each, while also telling you where and when you can watch them, so let’s get to it.

 

Brian Norman Jr (-625) Vs Jin Sasaki (+410)

This one is for the WBO Welterweight Championship, with Norman Jr coming in as the defending champion, while this one being the second defense of his title.

The fight is taking place in Tokyo, for this reason, it’s an early start in the US, with this one set to go off around 7 AM on ESPN.

First, the champ comes into this fight looking to improve upon his perfect 27-0 record. In fact, he has some real power, with 21 of his 71 wins coming via KO.

Additionally, Sasaki has a career record of 19-1-1, so he is certainly a worthy challenger. 17 of his 19 wins came by KO.

In conclusion, I think the champ retains his title with a KO win, and I also like the UNDER 10 ½ rounds.

Christian Araneta (-150) vs Thanongsak Simsri (+118)

This fight is on the same card as the one we just discussed and is for the Vacant IBF World Junior Flyweight Championship.

Araneta is the older of the two fighters and comes in as the slight favorite to take the belt.

Furthermore, he has a record of 25-2, with 20 of those wins coming via knockout. He is currently the top ranked boxer in this weight class.

On the contrary, Simsri is ranked #2, and while he is 5 years younger than his opponent, he actually has more fights under his belt, going 38-1 as a pro, with 24 of those wins coming by KO.

As a result, I think we get the slight upset here, as I like Simsri for the win.

Peter McGrail (-549) Vs Ionut Baluta (+350)

While this is not a title fight, it is still a very good matchup that sits right below the main event on this card.

This one, as well as the next fight we are going to discuss, will take place in England on Saturday at 4 PM EST.

McGrail comes in with a very respectable 11-1 record and is the clear favorite to get the win.

In addition, 6 of those wins have come by KO, but 3 of his last 5 have gone the distance.

Baluta is 17-5-1 and has had problems with consistency from the start.

I think McGrail could finish this one quickly.

Galal Yafai (-330) Vs Francisco Rodriguez Jr (+228)

Finally, we close out this weekend boxing preview with a battle for the WBC Interim Flyweight Championship, scheduled to begin at 5 PM EST on DAZN.

First, Yafai is currently ranked #4 in the world in this weight class and has looked good as a pro, going a perfect 9-0, with 7 of his wins coming via KO.

Moreover, Rodriguez has much more experience than his opponent and will step into the ring with a record of 39-6-1, with 27 of those wins coming by KO.

Francisco has lost 3 in a row ahead of this one, and I think we will see that streak extend to 4 with a KO loss in this one.
