Isaac Cruz (26-3-1, 18 KOs) will return to the ring against Angel Fierro (23-2-2, 18 KOs). “Pitbull” will be eager to bounce back after losing to Jose Valenzuela. The aggressive style of Cruz should prove too much for the Tijuana native.
Jesus Alejandro Ramos Jr. (21-1, 17 KOs) will face Jeison Rosario (24-4-2, 18 KOs) in an intriguing contest. Both will need to win to move on to bigger and better opportunities.

Curmel Moton (6-0, 5 KOs) is undoubtedly a prodigious talent, who has shown his ability in his first few professional fights.

Unbeaten super middleweight prospect John “Candyman” Easter (7-0, 7 KOs) will be eager to extend his perfect professional record when he faces Joseph Aguilar (6-2-1, 3 KOs).
