It’s Sunday, which means Fight Day for undisputed super bantamweight champion Naoya Inoue (29-0, 26 KOs), taking on top contender Ramon Cardenas (26-1, 14 KOs) live on ESPN following ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball.
This fight card was easily lost in the hype behind the Times Square event and Canelo Alvarez fighting in Saudi Arabia. Since both cards provided zero entertainment value, it’s up to Inoue and Cardenas to salvage the weekend. Styles make fights, and this matchup will provide fireworks for as long as it lasts.
Also on the card is WBO featherweight champion Rafael Espinoza (26-0, 22 KOs), defending his title against Edward Vasquez (17-4, 4 KOs) as the co-feature. Top prospects Emiliano Vargas (13-0, 11 KOs) and Rohan Polanco (15-0, 10 KOs) will also be in action in separate fights.
