Ardreal Holmes Jr vs Hugo Noriega Undercard

Ardreal Holmes Jr vs Hugo Noriega Fight

Ardreal Holmes Jr faces Hugo Noriega for the USBA Super Welterweight Title.

• Division/Weight: super welter
• Ardreal Holmes Jr record: 15-0
• Hugo Noriega record: 10-2
• Belts at stake: USBA Super Welterweight Title

Ardreal Holmes Jr turned pro in 2016 and has an unbeaten record of 15 wins, with 6 by knockout. His last victory was a TKO against Marlon Harrington, a strong opponent with a 90% KO rate. Holmes shows he can handle power punchers which gives him an edge over Noriega, who has faced less successful competition.

Hugo Noriega started his career in 2022 and has scored 10 wins with 5 knockouts. He won his latest bout by unanimous decision against Saul Corral, a veteran with extensive experience but a weaker recent record. Given Noriega's success against experienced but declining fighters, facing the undefeated Holmes will be a significant step up in competition.

Joseph Hicks vs Ronnie Austion Fight

Joseph Hicks faces Ronnie Austion in a middleweight class match.

• Division/Weight: middle
• Joseph Hicks record: 10-0
• Ronnie Austion record: 10-2
• Belts at stake: N/A

Joseph Hicks, a pro since 2022, boasts an undefeated record of 10 wins, 7 by knockout. His recent victory was a knockout against Ricardo Ruben Villalba, who had significant experience and a weaker knock-out rate. Given Hicks' consistent performance and his ability to handle experienced fighters, he seems well-placed for success against Austion with comparable stats but more losses.

Ronnie Austion turned pro in 2013. Today he has 10 wins, 7 by knockout, but two losses indicate some past struggles. His last fight was a split decision loss to Denis Okoth in 2019. Historically lesser opponents have challenged him as illustrated by his mixed outcomes with fighters having mixed records. Facing an undefeated opponent like Hicks might put him at a noticeable disadvantage, due to his less recent activity and setbacks in the ring.

Jaquan McElroy vs Ardarrieon Daigle Williams Fight

Jaquan McElroy faces Ardarrieon Daigle Williams in a middleweight clash.

• Division/Weight: middle
• Jaquan McElroy record: 1-0
• Ardarrieon Daigle Williams record: 2-0
• Belts at stake: N/A

Jaquan McElroy turned pro in July 2024 and has a record of 1 win, no losses, and no draws. In his only professional fight, he defeated Travis Floyd by unanimous decision. Given he faced an opponent with 10 losses, Jaquan's upcoming encounter with an undefeated fighter like Williams could be more challenging.

Ardarrieon Daigle Williams began his professional career in October 2023 and holds a perfect knockout record with 2 wins from 2 fights. His power was evident when he knocked out Brodyx Gilman in their bout. Ardarrieon's proven knockout ability makes him a formidable opponent for McElroy, who has only faced previously struggling competitors.

Da'Velle Smith vs Esau Herrera de la Cruz Fight

Da'Velle Smith is set to face Esau Herrera de la Cruz. There are no belts on the line.

• Division/Weight: middle
• Da'Velle Smith record: 8-0
• Esau Herrera de la Cruz record: 21-17
• Belts at stake: N/A

Since turning pro in 2021, Da'Velle Smith has maintained an undefeated record with eight wins, zero losses, and six of those wins by knockout. His most recent victory was against Rolando Wenceslao Mansilla, who has significant experience but a less impressive record. Facing Esau Herrera, who recently suffered a knockout loss, suggests that Smith's powerful striking may dominate once more.

Esau Herrera de la Cruz shows extensive experience with a professional record of 21 wins and 17 losses since 2002. His last bout saw him losing by knockout to Petr Khamukov, displaying possible vulnerabilities against powerful strikers. Coming up against the younger and undefeated Da'Velle Smith could be challenging due to his lower knockout ratio and recent losses.

Leon Lawson III vs Luis Alberto Veron Fight

Leon Lawson III is set to fight Luis Alberto Veron in a super welterweight bout.

• Division/Weight: super welter
• Leon Lawson III record: 15-1
• Luis Alberto Veron record: 20-8
• Belts at stake: N/A

Leon Lawson III turned pro in 2017 and has a fight record of 15 wins, 1 loss, with 8 wins by knockout. He last won against Abrahan Peralta by TKO. Peralta, winning significantly fewer fights and having a lower knockout rate than Lawson, was less challenging for him. In his upcoming fight, facing Veron who lost his recent matches may not enhance his competition intensity due to similar past opponent profiles.

Luis Alberto Veron started his professional career in 2015 and stands with 20 wins, 8 losses, and 2 draws. His most recent match was a loss to Gor Yeritsyan by unanimous decision. Though Yeritsyan had a stronger knockout record, he points out vulnerabilities in Veron's defense. Facing Lawson might be tougher for him because of Lawson's comparable power and more consistent win streak against similarly capable opponents.

DeAndre Savage vs KeShawn Jackson Fight

DeAndre Savage faces KeShawn Jackson in a heavyweight bout with no titles on the line.

• Division/Weight: heavy
• DeAndre Savage record: 6-0
• KeShawn Jackson record: 1-5
• Belts at stake: N/A

DeAndre Savage, with an unbeaten record of 6 wins, all by knockout, started professional fighting in 2021. He last knocked out Esteban Ramon Juarez in August 2024, who had a losing record compared to Savage's streak. Considering Savage's past opponents and their profiles, his power and consistent knockout ability suggest he might dominate against Jackson, whose record lacks such performance.

KeShawn Jackson holds a record of 1 win, 5 losses, and 1 draw with no knockout victories since turning pro in 2022. Recently in March 2024, he won by majority decision against Josh Burns, an inexperienced opponent with a losing record. Facing DeAndre Savage might be challenging for Jackson due to the disparity in their records and knockout capabilities indicating that Jackson may struggle against the aggressive style of Savage.
