Euri Cedeno faces Antonio Todd in a middleweight contest.

Cedeno, an up-and-coming force, turned pro in 2022 and boasts a record of 7 wins, no losses, and one draw, with six of those wins coming by knockout. Given his impressive 85.71% KO rate and recent performance against fighters of varying calibers, Cedeno is likely to present a significant challenge for Todd based on power and momentum.

Todd enters the ring with more experience, having turned professional in 2018. His record stands at 16 wins, 9 losses, with nine wins by knockout. Todd's experience and proven ability to go the distance in fights suggest he could leverage his resilience against a less experienced opponent like Cedeno. However, considering Cedeno's knockout power, the fight poses an intriguing matchup where Todd’s durability will be put to the test.

Moses Johnson, with a professional record of 11 wins, 1 loss, and 2 draws since starting his career in 2018, has knocked out opponents in 8 of those victories. Considering his slightly higher experience drawn from an additional fight and resilient standing from more rounds fought than Vianello, Johnson’s adaptability and stamina could pose a formidable challenge against Vianello's raw power.

Arnold Gonzalez, with an impressive record of 13 wins, no losses, and 6 knockouts since turning pro in 2019, steps into this fight undefeated. Having mostly fought opponents with similar or less experience, his challenge against Stanford might test his abilities given Stanford's higher knockout percentage despite a more balanced win-loss record.

Charles Stanford brings to the ring a professional record of 7 wins, 4 losses, and an assertive knockout style with 4 out of those victories coming by way of knockout since starting his career in 2015. His power and experience from a higher KO ratio suggest he could pose a significant threat to Gonzalez's unblemished record. Despite facing a younger opponent, Stanford's experience and power make this matchup intriguing.

Falcon has a perfect record of 10 wins with 6 by KO, starting his professional career in 2019. Facing an opponent with more experience and fights, this match tests Falcon's ability to maintain his undefeated streak against Ceballos, who has fought more rounds but also suffered losses.

Ceballos entered the ring as a professional in 2015 and has a record of 11 wins, 4 losses, and 1 draw, with 6 victories coming by way of knockout. His record shows he has faced defeat but also tackled more opponents than Falcon, suggesting experience might play a key role in this upcoming clash.

  • Isaah Flaherty record : 6-0
  • Julien Baptiste record : 6-3
  • Belts at stake : N/A

Isaah Flaherty faces Julien Baptiste in a middleweight clash with no belts on the line.

Isaah Flaherty turned pro in 2021, boasting an undefeated record of 6 wins, with half of those victories coming by knockout. His quick ascension and powerful striking make him a formidable opponent in the middleweight division. Contrastingly, Baptiste's more experienced record suggests Flaherty's power and aggression could be key factors in this matchup.

Julien Baptiste debuted in 2020 and has a record of 6 wins and 3 losses, with half of his wins via knockout.
