ESPN+, 9 p.m. ET Chocolatito Gonzalez vs Robert BarreraIt's not a big fight, but Chocolatito could try for bantamweight in his hometown of Managua, and at 37, it's likely to be the final stage of his career. Bantamweight is no joke, and the biggest benefit, and reward, would be a fourth fight against Juan Francisco Estrada at 118 pounds, or a fight against Nonito Donaire, or maybe a quality senior tour fight. Barrera has a pretty hollow record, but he's fought quality fighters, he hasn't always been blown out of the ring, and he has some solid wins. My point is, it's hard to find a more hollow record than this. He's not a zero.

DAZN, 1 p.m. ET Cain Fourier vs Siseko MakeleniOne of 150+ Fight Nights on DAZN!!!
ESPN+, 6:50 p.m. ET, Yanibek Alimcanuri vs Andrei MikhailovichThis is an ESPN+ exclusive, ESPN is not the “main card”. Janivec will once again be fighting the best guy who can actually fight him. That's all Top Rank can do. I'm impressed with their enthusiasm to feature him as a main event fighter. Raymond Muratala will be facing Tevin Farmer on the undercard. It would have looked more interesting if they'd imported the 2019 Tevin Farmer, but Farmer is a crafty guy and could be a spoiler. Ruben Villa and others will also be in the mix. BLH will provide live updates.
DAZN, 8 p.m. ET Jaron “Boots” Ennis vs David AvanesyanIn the end, Boots ended up fighting a roughly equivalent bout against Cody Crowley, who was originally scheduled for his Matchroom debut. Neither Crowley nor Avanesyan look like a real threat to Ennis on paper, and Ennis is by default and obvious talent the best fighter actually fighting at 147 pounds right now. BLH will provide live updates.
