Undercard Highlights

Netflix is set to broadcast a jam‑packed boxing night on November 14 from the Kaseya Center in Miami. The main attraction, Jake Paul vs Gervonta Davis, now sits atop an undercard that looks more like a championship festival than a warm‑up.

Alycia Baumgardner vs. Leila Beaudoin will headline the co‑main slot. Baumgardner enters with a 16‑1‑1 record and four belts – Ring, IBF, WBA and WBO – at junior lightweight. Her challenger, 13‑1 Leila Beaudoin, is stepping into the U.S. for the first time after a string of four victories, the latest a sixth‑round TKO of Elhem Mekhaled. Unusually, the bout will run 12 three‑minute rounds, a format typically reserved for men’s title fights, underscoring its importance.

  • WBA junior welterweight title defense – fighters still to be confirmed.
  • Undisputed junior featherweight clash – featuring Mayelli Flores among the contenders.
  • WBC strawweight title – Yokasta Valle defends against Yadira Bustillos.

All four fights carry world championship stakes, turning the evening into a multi‑title showcase that rivals any traditional pay‑per‑view card.

The addition of these bouts does more than pad the schedule; it signals that streaming services are willing to invest in high‑profile, high‑stakes boxing. Netflix’s involvement suggests a shift away from legacy cable models, and the platform’s global reach could introduce casual viewers to weight classes they rarely see.

UFC boss Dana White weighed in on the main event during his Impaulsive podcast, noting that while he doesn’t ‘hate’ Jake Paul, the size disparity between the brothers and their opponents remains a talking point. He predicts Paul’s bulk will let him grind out Davis, who, despite packing a harder punch than Floyd Mayweather, will have to overcome a significant reach and weight gap.

Boxing purists have mixed feelings. Some welcome the mainstream spotlight and the influx of cash, while others worry that celebrity‑driven matchups could eclipse merit‑based title fights. Still, the presence of undisputed champions like Baumgardner and Valle on the same card offers a counter‑balance – real titles, real stakes, real athletes.

With five additional bouts already confirmed, the November 14 card is shaping up to be one of the most comprehensive boxing events of the year. Whether you tune in for the drama of Paul vs. Davis or the championship grit of the undercard, there’s a fight for every palate.
