Vito Mielnicki Jr. vs Nicholas DeLomba: date, time, how to watch, background,

welterweight prospect vito mielnicki jr. will fight in main event on special CHRISTMAS DAY fox telecast.

Vito Mielnicki Jr. (9-1, 6 KOs) vs. Nicholas DeLomba (16-3, 5 KOs)

  • Date: Saturday, Dec. 25
  • Time: 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT (main event later in show)
  • Where: Prudential Center, Newark, New Jersey
  • TV/Stream: Fox
  • Division: Welterweight
  • Rounds: 10
  • At stake: No major titles
  • Pound-for-pound ranking: None
  • Odds: Mielnicki 22½ favorite (average of multiple outlets)
  • Also on the card: Joey Spencer (13-0, 9 KOs) vs. Limberth Ponce (18-4, 11 KOs), middleweights
  • Prediction: Mielnicki UD
  • Background: Mielnicki, a former amateur star who had been too slick for his professional opponents, slipped up against underdog James Martin by losing a majority decision this past April. The 19-year-old from New Jersey was scheduled face his conqueror in an immediate rematch but Martin came in overweight and was replaced by Noah Kidd, who lasted less than two full rounds against a determined Mielnicki in July. This will be Mielnicki’s first scheduled 10-rounder. DeLomba, who fights out of Florida, shouldn’t be a significant threat to the young prospect. He hasn’t fought since February of last year, meaning he will have been out of the ring for 22 months. And things didn’t go well that night: He lost a shutout decision to unbeaten junior welterweight prospect Richardson Hitchins in a 10-round bout. DeLomba has fought between 140 and 147 pounds the past several years. Another prospect, middleweight Joey Spencer, will face journeyman Limberth Ponce on Saturday. Spencer ended up fighting – and outpointing – Martin the same night Mielnicki knocked out Kidd.

Vito Mielnicki Jr. will have ideal showcase on Christmas evening

Vito Mielnicki will have the ideal showcase when he fights Nicholas DeLomba on Christmas evening.

This is a big moment for welterweight prospect Vito Mielnicki Jr.

The 19-year-old will face Nicholas DeLomba in his first scheduled 10-rounder in the main event on a special Christmas Day Fox telecast, a prime opportunity for him to show the world what he can do.

And if that’s not enough, Mielnicki (9-1, 6 KOs) will be fighting at Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, not far from where he grew up.

“This is a dream come true for me,” he said. “There’s no other way I’d rather spend Christmas. I’m living the dream at 19 years old. I can’t wait to perform in front of a huge audience on Fox.”

DeLomba (16-3, 5 KOs) might be the perfect foil for Mielnicki to deliver a special performance.

The 31-year-old Floridian is a solid, durable boxer but he’s neither super quick nor powerful, which will make it difficult for him to cope with his opponent’s all-around skill set. Plus, he will have been out of the ring for 22 months.

Mielnicki will do well to be as dominating as another prospect was against DeLomba in last fight, a shutout-decision loss to Richardson Hitchins.

“This is my toughest opponent to date, and I’m expecting a tough fight,” Mielnicki said. “You don’t want to miss this one, because we’re definitely delivering fireworks.”

Mielnicki rebounded from his upset majority-decision loss to James Martin in April in Los Angeles by stopping Noah Kidd in two rounds 3½ months later in front of his hometown fans at Prudential Center.

A victory over DeLomba on national television – particularly a spectacular one – would render the Martin setback ancient history.

Andrew moloney will face froilan saludar in his return to australia on tuesday. also, welterweight prospect vito mielnicki jr. fights on CHRISTMAS DAY.

Andrew Moloney (21-2, 14 KOs) vs. Froilan Saludar (32-4-1, 22 KOs)

  • When: Tuesday, Dec. 21
  • Where: The Star Event Centre, Sydney
  • TV/Stream: ESPN+
  • Division: Junior bantamweight
  • Rounds: 11
  • At stake: No major titles
  • Pound-for-pound ranking: None
  • Odds: Moloney 10-1 favorite (average of multiple outlets
  • Also on the card: Faris Chevalier vs. Renold Quinlan, light heavyweights
  • Prediction: Moloney UD
  • Background: Moloney will begin the rebuilding process at home. The 30-year-old Aussie, a capable boxer, came to the United States with a perfect record and high hopes early last year but left after three disappointing outings against fellow 115-pound contender Joshua Franco in a span of 14 months. He lost a close, but unanimous decision in June of last year, their November fight was ruled a no-contest after Franco suffered an eye injury from an accidental head butt and Joshua won a wider decision this past August. Saludar is a solid opponent with some power but a step down from Franco. The 32-year-old Filipino has had success against second-tier opposition but has fallen short against elite foes, including a second-round stoppage against McWilliams Arroyo and a unanimous decision against Takuma Inoue. He rebounded from a seventh-round TKO against Ryoji Fukunaga in February of last year by outpointing Reymark Taday this past March, his most-recent fight. Moloney is the twin brother of bantamweight contender Jason Moloney.
