Arnold Barboza vs Kenneth Sims: Match card, start time, where to watch & more
Arnold Barboza vs Kenneth Sims will see some big matchups
Thereβs no easy way to come back from your first professional loss, especially when it comes against a fighter like Teofimo Lopez on one of boxingβs biggest stages. But thatβs exactly the situation Arnold Barboza Jr. finds himself in this Saturday night, and how he responds will tell us a lot about who he is as a fighter.
Barboza was unbeaten for the best part of a decade before Lopez handed him a unanimous decision defeat at Times Square last May, ending his run at 32-1. It stings, but it doesnβt define him, and the 34-year-old will be desperate to remind the welterweight division that heβs still very much a problem when he steps into the Honda Center in Anaheim on Saturday night against Kenneth Sims Jr.

Sims isnβt walking in as a soft touch either. He had strung together nine straight wins before Oscar Duarte edged him via majority decision last August, so both men are coming off losses, and both men are hungry to get back in the win column. That shared desperation tends to make for entertaining fights, and this one has the makings of a competitive welterweight matchup with real stakes on both sides.
The undercard is stacked, too. Oscar Collazo defends his WBO strawweight title, Gabriela Fundora puts her undisputed womenβs flyweight championship on the line, and Alexis Rocha meets the always-entertaining Joseph Diaz Jr. in a welterweight clash that should get the crowd going early.
The card gets underway at 8 pm ET / 5 pm PT on DAZN, with Barboza and Sims expected to make their ring walks around 11:15 pm ET. Youβll need a DAZN subscription to watch. Hereβs everything you need to know about the full card.
