Gustavo Rivera Rio takes on Carlos Andre Dos Santos Rocha in a six-round super featherweight bout.
Rivera, a promising talent from Mexico, turned professional in March 2023. Holding a record of 9 wins, 1 loss, and almost 78% of those victories by knockout, he recently faced a split decision defeat by seasoned fighter Alexander Espinoza. Given Espinoza's solid track record compared to Rocha's variable performance, Rivera appears poised for a strong comeback against the less experienced Rocha.
Rocha entered the pro ranks in February 2022 and has since had 3 wins from 8 fights with two knockouts. His recent match was a unanimous decision loss to Robert Meriwether III, a robust new talent. Moving up against Rivera whose competitive edge sharpens against potent opponents, Rocha may find this fight particularly challenging given Rivera’s higher KO rate and comeback drive.
