Gustavo Rivera Rio will face Alexander Espinoza at the Red Owl Boxing Arena in Houston, Texas. They’re set to compete under the super-featherweight category as part of an exciting undercard match.
Gustavo turned pro last year and boasts an undefeated record with most wins by knockout. His last victory was a technical knockout against Brayan Patricio Sanchez in December 2023. Alexander, with a richer history dating back to 2015, comes off a decision loss to Rene Moreno in March. This match marks a pivotal moment for half-experienced Rivera against Espinoza, who has significantly more bouts and a higher KO rate in his career.
Recent tussles show Gustavo pummeling less experienced fighters, suggesting he might find Espinoza’s broader experience and resilience challenging. Transitioning from novice-level opponents to a seasoned fighter could be a tough step up for Rivera.
