The second edition of 'The Fight' on TNT ends with one of the most anticipated title fights of the summer, as Lamont Roach Jr. takes on William Zepeda for the vacant WBC lightweight championship.

Roach and Zepeda each come off unsatisfactory title fight results, yet find themselves in another opportunity to capture gold. The 30-year-old Roach enters 'The Fight' off consecutive draws with Gervonta 'Tank' Davis and Isaac 'Pitbull' Cruz in a pair of fights that many fans thought he won.

Zepeda returns after a year-long layoff following a unanimous decision loss to then-WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson, who has since moved up to 140 pounds, where he is the WBO and The Ring super lightweight titleholder.

Despite the loss, Zepeda remained the WBC's No. 1-ranked lightweight contender, allowing him to return and compete for the same belt he just fought for.

IBF lightweight champion Raymond Muratalla makes his way back to the ring in the co-main event, defending his belt against former super featherweight champion Robson Conceicao. Muratalla competes for the first time since his star-making performance against Andy Cruz in January.

Muratalla, 24-0, has hinted at his desire to move up to 140 pounds soon. With a victory, the California native could land himself an opportunity to become a two-division champion, particularly with the IBF still without a super lightweight titleholder.

Undefeated prospects Raul Curiel (17-0-1), Joel Iriarte (10-0) and Fabian Guzman (10-0), in addition to rising light middleweight star Charles Conwell (21-1). Curiel, the No. 1-ranked WBA welterweight contender, takes on former title challenger Quinton Randall on the TNT main card, which will be opened by Conwell's return fight against former amateur opponent Paul Kroll.
