Bad Left Hook Fight Night: Gamboa-Jimenez, Kirkland-Albert, Angulo-Gutierrez

Join us tonight with HBO's Boxing After Dark for what promises to be an exciting and noteworthy night of fights. Three top prospects will face tests, and I think we have a good chance to see two upsets. Plus, seeing Yuriorkis Gamboa is always worthwhile.

Here's the lineup.

Yuriorkis Gamboa Darling Jimenez 9-0 Record 23-2-2 8 KO 14 Miami, FL (Guantanamo, Cuba) Hometown Bronx, NY 5'5" Height 5'6" Johnnie Edwards (TKO-1) Adailton de Jesus (TKO-6) Samuel Kebede (TKO-2) Notable Wins Mike Anchondo (KO-3) Jose Soto (KO-3) Notable Losses Fernando Trejo (MD-8) Miguel Huerta (MD-8)

James Kirkland Eromosele Albert 21-0 Record 21-1 18 KO 10 Austin, TX Hometown Miami, FL (Lagos, Nigeria) 5'9" Height 6'0" Allen Conyers (TKO-1) Mohammad Said (KO-2) Ossie Duran (UD-10) Notable Wins Daniel Edouard (TKO-7) Yori Boy Campas (UD-10) David Banks (UD-10) Notable Losses Julio Jean (UD-8)

Alfredo Angulo Richar Gutierrez 12-0 Record 24-1 9 KO 14 Mexicali, Mexico Hometown Miami, FL (Arjona, Colombia) 5'10" Height 5'9" Ricardo Cortes (KO-1) Archak Ter Miliksetian (TKO-1) Emmanuel Gonzalez (TKO-2) Notable Wins Jose Varela (UD-10) Luciano Perez (UD-10) Teddy Reid (KO-4) Notable Losses Joshua Clottey (MD-12)

Hey, you find a picture of Darling Jimenez. He'll have to live with what he gets.

Picks? Why not. Gamboa TKO early (first three rounds), Kirkland TKO-6 but he'll struggle with Albert, and Gutierrez in what I'd only consider a mild upset via decision over Angulo.

There are also two pay-per-view cards tonight, one topped by what should be a good fight between Cristian Mijares and Alexander Munoz, and the other with Jorge Arce against a scrub he should knock out in a round or two in an alleged eliminator. I'm taking Munoz in a close scrap over Mijares.

But we'll be here for the HBO card, starting at 9:45 eastern. Join us and talk some boxing with your Saturday night.
