We've got a stacked line-up for you this weekend, with a big cruiserweight match-up from Germany between Marco Huck and Ola Afolabi topping the bill.
HBO and Showtime have action for us too, with double-headers from Montreal and California. Chad Dawson takes on slugger Adonis Stevenson in the HBO main-event, with Yuriorkis Gamboa facing unbeaten Darleys Perez on the undercard. The Showtime headliner could be the fight of the night with Marcos Maidana taking on Josesito Lopez in a welterweight encounter. The main supporting bout should be good too with Erislandy Lara battling heavy handed Alfredo Angulo in a 154lb match-up.
Also on the game sheet is a super-flyweight bout from Las Vegas between Juan Carlos Sanchez and unbeaten Roberto Domingo Sosa. This week's edition of FNF rounds out the line-up, with Carlos Molina and Andrey Klimov battling it out in a 10-round lightweight match-up.
