Teofimo Lopez vs Steve Claggett Undercard

Teofimo Lopez vs Steve Claggett Fight

Teofimo Lopez will face Steve Claggett in a bout for the WBO World Super Lightweight Title.

Division/Weight: super light
Teofimo Lopez record: 20-1
Steve Claggett record: 38-7
Belts at stake: WBO World Super Lightweight Title

Teofimo Lopez turned pro in 2016 and holds a record of 20 wins, 1 loss, with 13 KOs. He recently defeated Jamaine Ortiz by unanimous decision. Ortiz, with fewer KOs at a ratio of 47.06%, suggests Lopez handled a lighter puncher successfully; facing Claggett who has a higher KO rate proves more challenging due to possibly stronger punches.

Steve Claggett, pro since 2008, boasts a record of 38-7-2 with 26 KOs. His recent victory over Marcos Gonzalez Barraza by retirement indicates endurance and power in later rounds. Given Lopez's recent victory was against an opponent with similar strength to Gonzalez Barraza's lower KO rate, Claggett might leverage his power advantage effectively against Lopez.

Robeisy Ramirez vs Brandon Leon Benitez Fight

Robeisy Ramirez will face Brandon Leon Benitez in a featherweight class bout.

Division/Weight: feather
Robeisy Ramirez record: 13-2
Brandon Leon Benitez record: 21-2
Belts at stake: N/A

Ramirez, with a professional record of 13 wins (8 by KO), debuted in 2019 and turned heads early on. His most recent matchup was a loss via majority decision to Rafael Espinoza, a formidable opponent undefeated in 25 fights. Considering Benitez's similar track record but less knockout power compared to Espinoza, Ramirez might find an edge with his experience against tougher opponents.

Benitez boasts a professional tally of 21 victories, including 9 knockouts, starting his career in 2014. His last fight resulted in a knockout win over Rigoberto Hermosillo. Coming off this strong performance and given Ramirez's recent loss against a powerful opponent, Benitez might capitalize on his momentum. However, he will need to overcome the experience deficiency relative to Ramirez's higher caliber past opponents.

Sona Akale vs Nico Ali Walsh Fight

Sona Akale faces Nico Ali Walsh in a super welterweight class match.

Division/Weight: super welter
Sona Akale record: 9-1
Nico Ali Walsh record: 9-1
Belts at stake: N/A

Sona Akale turned professional in 2019, boasting a record of 9 wins, 1 loss, and 4 KOs. His last win was a unanimous decision against Tray Martin, whose record was less formidable compared to Akale's previous opponents. Considering Ali Walsh has a similar record and has lost to Akale before, this fight could tilt in Sona’s favor given his consistent performance against stronger opponents.

Nico Ali Walsh turned pro in 2021 with a record currently standing at 9 wins, 1 loss, and 5 KOs. In his last bout, he won by unanimous decision against Charles Stanford, an opponent with fairly balanced statistics. Despite this victory, Nico's prior loss to Akale suggests potential challenges facing an opponent with a slight edge in experience and prior victory credentials.

Yan Santana vs Brandon Valdes Fight

Yan Santana faces Brandon Valdes in a super featherweight clash with no titles on the line

Division/Weight: super feather
Yan Santana record: 11-0
Brandon Valdes record: 15-4
Belts at stake: N/A.

Yan Santana turned pro in 2021 and holds an undefeated record of 11 wins, all by knockout. He last defeated Rodolfo Hernandez Montoya who brought substantial experience with 30 wins. Given Montoya's aggressive style and power, Santana's performance suggests he will bring significant power into his fight against Valdes.

Brandon Valdes has a professional record consisting of 15 wins and 4 losses, with 7 wins by knockout. His most recent defeat was to Ruben Villa, an experienced fighter with only one loss. Losing to such a skilled opponent indicates Valdes might struggle against Santana's undefeated streak and knockout power.

Rohan Polanco vs Luis Hernandez Ramos Fight

Rohan Polanco faces Luis Hernandez Ramos in a super light division bout.

Division/Weight: super light
Rohan Polanco record: 12-0
Luis Hernandez Ramos record: 23-4
Belts at stake: N/A

Polanco, a professional since 2020, remains undefeated with a record of 12-0-0, showcasing a strong knockout ability with seven KOs. His last win was against Tarik Zaina by unanimous decision, demonstrating effective stamina and skill. Considering Zaina's performance and stats closely match those of his upcoming opponent, Ramos, but with less knockout power, Polanco stands a good chance to maintain his streak against Hernandez who experienced recent upsets.

Hernandez at 28 has fought more professionally since 2015 with a record of 23-4-0. He recently faced Lindolfo Delgado and suffered a loss via knockout. This indicates potential vulnerability in handling fighters with high knockout ratios like Polanco. The comparison to Delgado can lightly suggest that facing another strong striker could pose crucial challenges for Ramos despite his experience.

Euri Cedeno vs Dormedes Potes Fight

Euri Cedeno faces Dormedes Potes in a middleweight clash with no titles on the line.

Division/Weight: middle
Euri Cedeno record: 8-0
Dormedes Potes record: 14-6
Belts at stake: N/A

Euri Cedeno, who turned professional in 2022, holds an undefeated record of 8 wins, 0 losses, and 1 draw. He impressively stopped Antonio Todd by TKO in his last fight. Considering Todd's weaker record compared to Potes, Cedeno might face a tougher challenge against the more experienced Potes but has youth and momentum on his side.

Dormedes Potes began his professional career in 2013, accumulating a record of 14 wins, 6 losses, and 1 draw. His most recent fight was a unanimous decision loss to Francis Hogan. Despite Hogan having a similar unbeaten record as Cedeno but with more knockouts, Potes' prior experience with strong opponents gives him valuable insight but he needs to overcome the challenge posed by young contenders like Cedeno.

Elvis Rodriguez vs Jino Rodrigo Fight

Elvis Rodriguez faces Jino Rodrigo in a super light class match, with no belts on the line.

Division/Weight: super light
Elvis Rodriguez record: 15-1
Jino Rodrigo record: 12-3
Belts at stake: N/A

Elvis Rodriguez turned pro in 2018 and has a solid record of 15 wins (13 by KO), 1 loss, and 1 draw. His last notable win was a TKO against Viktor Postol, who had a substantially experienced record. Given Postol's higher experience but lower KO rate compared to Rodriguez’s previous opponents, Rodriguez’s recent victory suggests he may overpower Rodrigo, who tends to fight less experienced opponents.

Jino Rodrigo started his professional career in 2017 and holds a record of 12 wins (10 by KO), 3 losses, and 2 draws. His latest victory came against Monico Laurente, showcasing his consistent knockout ability. However, Laurente’s weaker record might mean Rodrigo could struggle against the more aggressive and successful striker like Rodriguez, known for dispatching opponents with higher calibers.

Lorenzo Medina vs Detrailous Webster Fight

Lorenzo Medina faces Detrailous Webster in a heavyweight fight.

Division/Weight: heavy
Lorenzo Medina record: 10-0
Detrailous Webster record: 7-3
Belts at stake: N/A

Medina, undefeated with a 10-win record and 90% KO rate, turned pro in 2022. His last fight was a TKO victory over Michael Glasscox, whose record was balanced with six wins and six losses. Given Glasscox's lesser performance compared to Medina, the momentum is on Medina's side against Webster due to his consistent earlier victories and knockout ability.

Webster has a record of seven wins with three losses, showing variability in his performance. He debuted as a professional boxer in 2020 and won his last significant match by TKO against Walter Strickland, who did not have any wins previously. Unlike Medina, Webster's recent opponents' records and performances suggest that he may face a stiff challenge in securing a win against Medina.

Emiliano Vargas vs Jose Zaragoza Fight

Emiliano Vargas faces Jose Zaragoza in a light weight class bout with no titles on the line.

Division/Weight: light
Emiliano Vargas record: 10-0
Jose Zaragoza record: 9-8
Belts at stake: N/A

Emiliano Vargas, two years into his pro career, holds an impressive record of 10 wins, 0 losses, and an 80% knockout rate. He recently defeated Angel Varela Urena by knockout. Given Urena's stronger record compared to Zaragoza, Vargas seems well-prepared for a less challenging opponent like Zaragoza who has had mixed outcomes in his fights.

Jose Zaragoza, competing professionally since 2019, comes in with a record marked by nine wins, eight losses, and two draws. His latest match ended in a draw against Victor Betancourt Jr., who has significantly more experience and a higher win rate than Vargas. This indicates Zaragoza can handle fighters with better statistics but might struggle against a young, undefeated opponent like Vargas.
