6/19 – McWilliams Arroyo (14-1, 12 KO’s) vs. Froilan Saludar (19-0-1, 12 KO’s) – Coliseo Ruben Rodriguez, Bayamon, Puerto Rico

Flyweight up and comer Arroyo looks to get one step closer to a world title shot when he faces the undefeated Saludar. Arroyo is currently the interim WBC Latino flyweight title holder and Saludar has held numerous regional belts for the WBO but doesn’t have any at this time.

6/12 – Cristian Mijares (49-8-2, 24 KO’s) vs. Sebastian Daniel Rodriguez (20-6-1, 7 KO’s) – Oasis Hotel Complex, Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico
Mijares is a former world super flyweight champ coming off a loss in his last contest to Leo Santa Cruz for the WBC super-bantamweight title; he was pretty much shut out over 12 rounds accounting for his second defeat in a world title bout in that division. Rodriguez is a former WBC Latino bantamweight champ who won the South American featherweight title in his last outing, but hasn’t faced anyone on Mijares’ level.

6/21 – Martin Murray (27-1-1, 12 KO’s) vs. Max Bursak (29-2-1, 12 KO’s) – Casino de Monte Carlo Salle Medecin, Monte Carlo, Monaco
Murray held the Commonwealth and BBBofC middleweight championships as well as the interim WBA world title. His one loss came to Sergio Martinez in 2013 in a close bout where he dropped Martinez in the eighth frame. Bursak is regional champ himself, having held the EBU middleweight crown and currently holding the WBA Continental title. His last bout was a close loss to Jarod Fletcher for the WBA International title where he was deducted two points. The vacant WBC Silver middleweight title is up for grabs in this one.

6/21 – Dominic Breazeale (10-0, 9 KO’s) vs. Devin Vargas (18-3, 7 KO’s) – StubHub Center, Carson, California, USA
The U.S. Olympian was taken the distance for the first time in his last outing, but he pretty much shut out his opponent over the eight round bout. Vargas was undefeated at 17-0 before stepping up his competition; he was stopped by Kevin Johnson and Andrzej Wawrzyk before taking a two and a half year hiatus. He returned this past March and was stopped in three rounds by Jason Bergman.
