FightSaga's boxing schedule (Jul 27 - Nov 9) sizzles with surging young lions, old pros seeking redemption, two top 10 pound for pounders, the unbeaten son of a legend, a title unification bout and an underrated potential Fight of the Year candidate.
Young Lions
Over the next 3 months, we'll see the creme de la creme of boxing's young talent, hungry to make a bigger name for themselves.
And no, these fellas aren't prospects... They are past that stage. They are emerging powerbrokers in boxing.
Gervonta Davis, Maurice Hooker, Tevin Farmer, Adam Kownacki, Marcus Brown, Vergil Ortiz Jr., David Benavidez and Filip Hrgovic have already proven they boast the potential to be extra special. Which one(s) will leap into superstardom?
Old Pros
Remember when Yuriorkis Gamboa (29-2) was the hottest fighter in boxing? He was a "can't miss" propect back in the day. But, the 37 year old Olympic champion has yet to fulfill experts' expectations.
Is he a shot at the elite level or a man to be reckoned with in the red hot super featherweight and lightweight divisions? Shoud Gamboa look good against Rocky Martinez (no easy task), we may see Davis vs Gamboa in the coming months.
Also, a revived but battled-tested Chris Arreola returns to face red hot heavyweight Adam Kownacki while former belt holders Erislandy Lara, Jean Pascal and Peter Quillin look to serve notice they are far from finished at boxing's highest levels.
