UCLA has an appointment with a gang rape so hopefully I don’t die of alcohol poisoning numbing the pain and I’ll be able to watch some of those.
DAZN, 7:00 pm ET, Jaime Munguia vs Patrick Allotey. Munguia is defending his 154-pound belt and hoping a big performance against a limited foe will erase the memory of his performance against Dennis Hogan. This This evening at 7:00 pm ET, DAZN goes live with a card from Carson, California, headlined by WBO 154-pound titleholder Jaime Munguia defending against Patrick Allotey. Munguia, 22, came from just about out of nowhere in May 2018, dominating Sadam Ali to take the WBO junior middleweight belt in an HBO main event. He’s defended successfully four times, including twice this year. In January, he shut down Takeshi Inoue over 12 rounds, but in April, he went home to Mexico and had legitimate problems with Dennis Hogan in a fight many observers felt Hogan deserved to win. Munguia will look to put on a better showing tonight, working with new trainer Erik Morales, in what is expected to be his last fight at 154 before moving up to middleweight. Allotey, 28, is a veteran from Ghana who has never had any successful near the upper levels of the sport, and is ranked No. 138 in the world by BoxRec, which is worth noting. On paper, yes, this is a mismatch. This card was also supposed to feature Ryan Garcia vs Avery Sparrow, but Sparrow was arrested on Friday, and that fight has been canceled. There is another world title bout on the show, though, as Franchon Crews-Dezurn will defend her WBC super middleweight title in a rematch with Maricela Cornejo.
ESPN+, 11:00 pm ET, Tyson Fury vs Otto Wallin, Emanuel Navarrete vs Juan Miguel Elorde, Jose Pedraza vs Jose Zepeda. It looks like it’ll be three main card fights starting late on ESPN+, with Fury-Wallin headlining, Navarrete defending his 122-pound title against another on-paper no-hoper, and Pedraza-Zepeda, which could be interesting.
That was a wildly entertaining fight last night. Fury worked him, but you could tell he was nervous about a stoppage as soon as his eye opened up. He fought a much different fight than he expected to.
