Busy Boxing Weekend Ahead . . .

Lots of televised boxing to choose from this weekend, including two pay-per-view cards going head-to-head -- neither of which has a big name star.

On Friday night on ESPN2, former heavyweight champ Chris Byrd (40-4-1) moves all the way down to light heavyweight to take on Shaun George (16-2-2). The undercard includes Koba Gogoladze (20-2) vs. Ji-Hoon Kim (13-5) in a super featherweight bout.

On Saturday on PPV from Durango, Mexico, it's Cristian Mijares (34-3-2) vs. Alexander Munoz (32-2) with the WBA and WBC super flyweight titles on the line and Humberto Soto (44-6-2) vs. Francisco Lorenzo (32-4) for the vacant interim WBC super featherweight title.

Also on Saturday, also on PPV, also from Mexico (Aguascalientes), you've got fan favorite Jorge Arce (48-4-1) taking on Devid Lookmahanak (18-1) at super featherweight. Also, Jorge Solis (34-1-2) vs. Miguel Roman (25-2) at featherweight.

Finally, if you don't want to pay for either of the above two cards on Saturday night, HBO offers the following: light middleweights James Kirkland (21-0) vs. Eromosele Albert (21-1); super featherweights Yuriorkis Gamboa (9-0) vs. Darling Jimenez (23-2-2); and light middleweights Alfredo Angulo (12-0) vs. Richard Gutierrez (24-1). Gamboa is the one to watch on this card. The 26-year-old from Cuba is one of the most exciting prospects in all of boxing and may be a future opponent for either Manny Pacquiao or Juan Manuel Marquez.
