10/4 – Celestino Caballero (35-5, 24 KO’s) vs. Adrian Estrella (18-0, 7 KO’s) –  Cancha de Usos Multiples Praderas de Villa, Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico              

A former world champ in the super bantamweight and featherweight division, the 38 year old Caballero gets a shot at the WBC FECARBOX super featherweight title.  Estrella’s made six defenses of the belt, and comes in off a win over Dante Jardon in July.

 

10/4 – Andriy Kotlenik (31-4-1, 13 KO’s) vs. Alexander Benidze (13-14-2, 6 KO’s) – Arena Lviv Stadium, Lviv, Ukraine

Former WBA light welterweight champ Kotelnik takes the ring for the first time in four years in scheduled eight round bout.

 

10/4 – Earl Newman (debut) vs. Quintell Thompson (0-2) – Foxwoods Resort, Mashantucket, Connecticut, USA

As reported by The Boxing Tribune, amateur standout Newman makes his pro debut on the Showtime under card, headlined by Barthelemy vs. Saucedo.

 

10/4 – Mikael Zewski (24-0, 19 KO’s) vs. Roberto Ventura (13-9, 13 KO’s) – Bally’s Event Center, Atlantic City, New Jersey, USA

Undefeated welterweight prospect, Zewski won his first title (NABF welterweight) in his last time out and has won his last four bouts by stoppage.  Ventura’s biggest win was over Antonio Mesquita in 2011, otherwise there’s not much to him.

 

10/4 – Glen Tapia (21-1, 13 KO’s) vs. Donatas Bondorovas (18-5-1, 6 KO’s) – Bally’s Event Center, Atlantic City, New Jersey, USA

Tapia put on a great show of heart in his loss to James Kirkland last year.  He bounced back with a first round stoppage win and looks to move forward against former UBF middleweight title holder, Bondoravas, who comes in off a six round loss to Willie Monroe Jr.

 

10/4 – Felix Verdejo (14-0, 10 KO’s) vs. Sergio Villanueva (26-4-2, 13 KO’s) – Bahia Shrine Temple, Orlando, Florida, USA

Another undefeated prospect, lightweight Verdejo faces former WBC Youth World featherweight title holder Villanueva, who’s dropped two of his last three bouts.

 

10/8 – BJ Flores (30-1-1, 19 KO’s) vs. Kevin Engel (20-10, 16 KO’s) – Beau Rivage Resort & Casino, Biloxi, Mississippi, USA

Flores takes a break from his fight analyst duties and grabs some action on the Soliman-Taylor undercard.  He’s won two bouts this year after a 19 month stretch of inactivity. The last few years Engel has come in as the “opponent”, facing and mostly losing to up and coming prospects.  He’s lost his last four and has been stopped in his last three.
