At 29 years old and weighing in at 134.8 pounds, he's coming off a knockout win against Jerry Perez last November 15th. Before that victory, he secured a unanimous decision win over Eduardo Estela on August 23rd. However, his career had a notable split-decision loss to Efrain Cruz back in July 2015.
Pauldo has been vocal about his upcoming fight stating, "I’m looking at this fight as any other. Every fight to me is the most important. I’m 110 percent ready for every fight." He added, "I try my best to be a well-rounded boxer. Boxing is my life." Despite his one professional loss, Pauldo remains confident about his strength and skill in the ring.
Miguel Madueno enters this match with a commendable record of 30-2 with 28 KOs. Residing in Orange, Los Angeles, he matched Pauldo's weigh-in at 134.8 pounds, although initially weighing in at 135.2 pounds before successfully getting down to the limit in less than an hour. His last bout ended in a decision defeat to Steve Claggett on November 14th.
