On Wednesday, June 5, members from the boxing world hit up the Fabela Chavez Boxing Center in Carson, California ahead of Saturday night’s clash between former champion Marcos Maidana (33-3, 30 KO’s) and Josesito Lopez (30-5, 18 KO’s).

While not official title is at stake, the Maidana-Lopez clash figures to be an interesting war of wills. An all-action brawler from Argentina, Maidana will be testing the new tricks he's learned from trainer Robert Garcia against Lopez, who is more of a classic boxer-puncher.

Also on the card is a junior middleweight attraction between contenders Erislandy Lara (17-1-2, 11 KO’s) and Alfredo Angulo (22-2, 18 KO’s), as well as a match between junior middleweight prospect Jermell Charlo (20-0, 10 KO’s) and Philadelphia’s Demetrius Hopkins (33-2-1, 13 KO’s).

There are many interesting subplots surrounding this weekend's Showtime tripleheader.

The Cuban-born Erislandy Lara is looked at as a favorite over the rugged Angulo, who is coming off of a lackluster points victory over Jorge Silva this past December.

While not fully coming out and saying it, Lara has been dropping hints that he would love a crack at the winner of the huge Floyd Mayweather-Saul Alvarez fight this September 14.
