Shakhram Giyasov vs Pablo Cesar Cano Fight
- Division/Weight : welterweight
- Shakhram Giyasov record : 14-0
- Pablo Cesar Cano record : 35-8
- Belts at stake : N/A
Shakhram Giyasov faces off against Pablo Cesar Cano in a welterweight bout with no belts on the line.
Giyasov turned pro in 2018 and boasts an undefeated record of 14 wins, with 9 by knockout. His striking power and quick rise through the ranks make him a formidable opponent. Comparing his stats to Cano's experience and higher KO ratio suggests an intriguing match, where Giyasov's speed could be key against Cano's power.
Cano, with a professional career starting in 2006, has a record of 35 wins, 8 losses, and 1 draw, including 25 knockouts. His extensive experience and higher knockout percentage might give him an edge in power over Giyasov.

- Division/Weight : bantamweight
- Antonio Vargas record : 17-1
- Jonathan Rodriguez record : 17-1
- Belts at stake : N/A

With a knockout ratio of over 50%, Vargas demonstrates power in his division. His experience against fighters with similar records indicates this match could highlight his striking ability, especially considering both fighters have closely matched records but Vargas possesses a higher KO rate.
Jonathan Rodriguez, on the other hand, began his professional career slightly later than Vargas in 2018. With an almost identical record of 17 wins, 1 loss, and 1 draw, including 7 wins by knockout, Rodriguez shows commendable skill level. Considering his KO rate is lower than Vargas's, this fight could challenge him to utilize more strategic moves and endurance to secure victory against a slightly more powerful opponent in terms of finishing fights.

- Yankiel Rivera Figueroa record : 4-0

Joseph Fernandez started his professional career in 2011, boasts a record of 17 wins, 5 losses, and 3 draws with 6 KOs. His extensive experience and higher knockout rate underscore his threat level to Aponte.
