Floyd Mayweather Jr returns to the ring at Arena CDM in Mexico City to face John Gotti III in a welterweight bout. Both fighters enter this main event with unblemished records, though vastly different experiences and backgrounds.
Mayweather, a seasoned boxer, last fought in 2015 and ended an illustrious career spanning 19 years undefeated. In contrast, Gotti, relatively new to professional boxing with only two fights since his debut in 2022, still has much to prove. Mayweather's past opponents like Manny Pacquiao and Andre Berto were top-tier fighters, indicating his exceptional skill level. In comparison, Gotti’s brief fight record against lesser-known athletes suggests he might find himself overmatched.
Floyd Mayweather Jr is set to face John Gotti III in a welterweight class match.
Floyd Mayweather Jr, retired with an undefeated record of 50 wins and 27 KOs, turned pro in 1996. His last fight was against Andre Berto, winning by unanimous decision. Berto had a strong record, but Mayweather prevailed with his defensive skills and experience. Against Gotti III, who has less experience and fewer fights, Mayweather's seasoned technique likely gives him a significant advantage.
John Gotti III, new to professional boxing with only 2 wins, both from his debut year of 2022. He last beat Albert Tulley, who had not won any of his previous fights. Considering Tulley's poor record compared to Mayweather's robust career and high-profile victories, Gotti III faces an uphill battle stepping into the ring against such a seasoned opponent.
Victor Ortiz faces Rodrigo Damian Coria in a non-title welterweight bout.
Victor Ortiz, professional since 2004, has a record of 33 wins, 7 losses, and 3 draws with 25 KOs. His last victory came against Todd Manuel by unanimous decision in May 2022. Facing an opponent like Coria, who has less experience and knockout power, Ortiz might leverage his superior experience and past performance against stronger opponents.
Rodrigo Damian Coria turned pro in 2018 and holds a record of 13 wins and 6 losses with just 2 KOs. His last defeat was to Milan Prat in February 2024 by unanimous decision. Although less experienced than Ortiz, the match against Ortiz is crucial as both share a southpaw stance, adding an intriguing layer to their showdown.
Alan Picasso Romero faces Azat Hovhannisyan in a super bantamweight class bout.
Alan Picasso Romero turned pro in 2017 and boasts an undefeated record of 28 wins, no losses, and one draw with 16 KOs. He recently secured a unanimous decision against Erik Ruiz, who had a less impressive fight record. Comparing Ruiz's performance to Hovhannisyan's aggressive style suggests that Picasso might face challenges due to Hovhannisyan's higher knockout rate and experience against tougher opponents.
Azat Hovhannisyan turned professional in 2011, holding a record of 21 wins and four losses with 17 KOs. His last fight was a TKO victory over Dagoberto Aguero, whose record was significantly weaker compared to Picasso’s recent opponents. Given Hovhannisyan's power but fewer high-caliber bouts recently, he might find it tough tackling the technical skills and unbeaten streak of Picasso.
Aaron Silva faces Alfonso Flores in a super middleweight class bout.
Aaron Silva turned pro in 2020 and boasts a record of 14 wins, 1 loss, with 11 victories by knockout. His last fight resulted in a loss by unanimous decision against Emiliano Aguillon Castro, an undefeated rising star. Facing Flores who has a similar height but has reached fewer knockouts suggests Silva might need to leverage his experience from more challenging bouts to edge out a win.
Alfonso Flores, who began his professional career in 2017, has a record of 13 wins and 2 losses, with 9 wins by knockout. Flores comes off a recent win by TKO against Amadeus de la Torre Ramirez. Considering Flores' comeback from a TKO loss earlier this year against Julio Porras Ruiz—a strong performer—his resilience and capability to bounce back could pose significant challenges for Silva.
Silvia Torres faces Cecilia Nino Rodriguez in a light flyweight contest.
Silvia Torres turned pro in 2013 and has a fight record of 21 wins, 3 losses, and 3 draws with 7 KOs. Her last bout resulted in a draw against Tania Garcia Hernandez, whose record was not overly impressive (9-9-2). Given this, Torres might find Rodriguez's much stronger record challenging in their upcoming match.
Cecilia Nino Rodriguez, who went professional in 2018, holds a record of 13 wins, 1 loss, and 1 draw with 6 KOs. Her recent victory was via TKO against Lucia Gutierrez Campos, who had a mediocre record (6-4-1). This suggests Rodriguez's power can make a difference against Torres who has faced similarly modest opposition recently.
Curmel Moton faces Victor Vazquez in a super featherweight class bout.
Curmel Moton turned pro in September 2023 and has a flawless record of 4 wins, with 3 by knockout, boasting a 75% KO rate. In his last fight, he won by unanimous decision against Anthony Cuba, who had a more experienced record at the time. Given Cuba’s higher experience and similar weight category, Moton's victory suggests he can effectively handle experienced fighters in his weight class, hinting at a strong performance against Vazquez.
Victor Vazquez turned professional in March 2014 and holds a record of 11 wins with 5 losses; he has knocked out nearly half of his opponents (45.45% KO rate). His latest matches show struggles against strong opponents, losing by unanimous decision to Anthony Mercado Raices in September 2018. Despite his experience advantage over Moton, his recent losses and period of inactivity might hinder his performance against the fresher opponent.
Luis Arias faces Francisco Rios Amezquita in a super welterweight bout.
Luis Arias, hailing from the USA, turned pro in 2012 with a current record of 20 wins, 4 losses, and 1 draw. His career includes significant bouts like his recent unanimous decision win against Jimmy Williams. Arias’s experience against diverse opponents like Vaughn Alexander and Jarrett Hurd showcases his resilience in tight matches and hints at a strategic edge over Rios Amezquita, who bears a less consistent record.
Francisco Rios Amezquita from Mexico entered the professional scene in 2009. With a record of 14 wins, 13 losses, and 3 draws, his journey features bouts of varied outcomes. His last victory was against Romario Ovalle by TKO. Despite facing stronger foes like Sergio Jimenez and Arlen Lopez and not securing wins, he maintains a higher KO percentage indicating his striking power might challenge Arias's defense strategies in this upcoming fight.
Trenton Joseph Brown faces Jose Antonio Munoz Guadarrama in a super welterweight clash.
Trenton Joseph Brown, also known as TJ, turned professional in 2018 and has won all 2 of his bouts without any knockouts. His last fight was against Juan Parra, who had a weaker record of 2 wins and 6 losses. Given Parra's poor performance, Brown’s upcoming bout against Munoz Guadarrama may prove more challenging as he faces an opponent with actual knockout power.
Jose Antonio Munoz Guadarrama, nicknamed Duro, has a mixed record of 2 wins and 2 losses since starting his career in 2022. His most recent victory came via TKO against Yordi Santiago, an inexperienced fighter with only one loss. Munoz Guadarrama’s encounter with Brown might turn intensive as both fighters have comparable experience but Duro maintains a higher knockout rate.
Jursly Vargas faces Bryan Carrillo Feliciano in a light division match.
Jursly Vargas, known as “The Gorilla,” turned professional in 2022 and has since claimed a perfect record of 2 wins, with both by knockout. His recent opponents lacked more challenging stats or records, paving his way with relatively easier bouts. This upcoming match against Bryan, who has faced stronger adversaries, presents an interesting challenge considering the difference in fight experience.
Bryan Carrillo Feliciano turned pro in 2022 and stands with three wins and one loss. His last fight was a win by TKO against Kevin Chung who had a lesser track record. Despite coming from welter division, Bryan's experience against fighters with stronger records than Jursly's previous opponents might prove advantageous in handling diverse fighting styles.
