On Saturday, June 19, there will be five boxing cards and we're going to be previewing a couple. Here with me is Kevin Iole to give us his best bet for the weekend. Kevin, it's going to be a busy Saturday. What are your thoughts on this weekend?

KEVIN IOLE: What a cra-- if you're a boxing fan, this is like heaven, Minty. You got some of the great fighters of today fighting. You've got some of the great in the past. There's a pay-per-view card going on. Julio Cesar Chavez is fighting, not junior. He is fighting. Junior is fighting, but so is Julio senior is fighting. Anderson Silva, the former UFC champ, is boxing on that card.

We're going to see Jaime Munguia fighting on DAZN. There's so many good fights, but the three that we're going to preview, I think are really special bouts. We're going to get a chance to see undisputed lightweight championship Teofimo Lopez, a guy that I love as a fighter. Naoya Inoue is fighting in Las Vegas. That is going to be a fantastic fight. And of course, Jermall Charlo is going to defend his middleweight title. So there is a lot to get to.

MINTY BETS: A ton, and the first one we are going to be previewing will be the Triller Fight Club event in Miami. Now, it's the undisputed lightweight title bout between Teofimo Lopez, a minus 1,500 favorite, versus George Kambosos, a plus 850 underdog. Tell us what you think about this one.

KEVIN IOLE: You know, I think you got to go with Lopez here. I mean, Lopez is coming off that big win over Vasyl Lomachenko. He's just been knocking people silly for the most part. He went to a decision with the great Loma. I like Lopez to win this fight. Kambosos is a mandatory challenger, but he's better than the average mandatory, Minty, and so I think he's going to get into the second half of the fight.

So I am going to go take Teofimo Lopez. I'm going to go Lopez by knockout in the ninth round. I think that Kambosos is a big strong kid, will hang around for a while, but eventually will succumb to that great punching power that Teofimo has. Lopez by knockout in the ninth.

MINTY BETS: OK. Next one. ESPN's Top Rank in Vegas is going to be a unified bantamweight title bout between Naoya Inoue, a minus 2,500 favorite, versus Michael Dasmarinas, a plus 900 underdog. What do you think, Kevin?

KEVIN IOLE: Well, I think we're going to see Michael Dasmarinas looking up at the lights fairly early in this fight. I mean, Inoue is a special breed. Dasmarinas is a guy that comes to fight. He is going to be throwing. I think that's going to open him up for a shot from Naoya Inoue. I think we're going to see Inoue-- I'm going to say TKO four in this one.

I think Dasmarinas might land a shot or two early in the fight, but I don't any way he holds up to that unbelievable punching power by Naoya Inoue. And so I think we're going to see Inoue by TKO in the fourth round.

MINTY BETS: Love it. And lastly, we've got the Showtime Championship Boxing in Houston. It's a WBC middleweight title bout between Jermall Charlo, a minus 3,333 favorite, versus one Macias Montiel, a plus 1,000 underdog. All right, you're probably going to go with the favorite, right, Kevin?

KEVIN IOLE: Yeah, I hate to play favorites. I'm usually an underdog player, but with the numbers on these fights, and with the quality of the fighters that are on the A side here, and Charlo is just so good. You know, Montiel got the fight with a big knockout of James Kirkland, but he hasn't accomplished nearly as much in his career as Charlo has. Charlo is sitting in a pretty good spot.

There's some big fights out there for him. Gennady Golovkin would loom next year, potentially Demetrius Andrade. So he needs to win this fight, and I think he needs to look good in it. He knows it. He's the better athlete. He's the better boxer. I think we'll see Charlo win by a late stoppage in this fight.

MINTY BETS: All right, should be a fun Saturday. Thank you so much, Kevin.

KEVIN IOLE: Thanks, Minty. I appreciate it.
