Diego Pacheco vs Steven Nelson Fight

Diego Pacheco faces Steven Nelson for the WBO International and WBC USA Super Middleweight Titles.

• Division/Weight: super middle
• Diego Pacheco record: 22-0
• Steven Nelson record: 20-0
• Belts at stake: WBO International & WBC USA Super Middleweight Titles

Diego Pacheco turned pro in 2018 and has maintained an undefeated record with 22 wins. Recently, he's polished his technique which may give him an edge, especially holding both height and reach advantages over Nelson. His experience against similarly unbeaten opponents forecasts significant strategic handling in this fight.

Steven Nelson also boasts an undefeated record with 20 victories since going professional. Operating out of Omaha, his matches primarily involve tactical dominance despite a lesser reach compared to Pacheco. This reach disparity could be a crucial factor in handling Pacheco's fighting style effectively during their match.

Andy Cruz vs Omar Salcido Fight

Andy Cruz faces Omar Salcido for the IBF International Lightweight Title.

• Division/Weight: light
• Andy Cruz record: 5-0
• Omar Salcido record: 19-1
• Belts at stake: IBF International Lightweight Title

Andy Cruz, known as "Diamante," turned professional recently with an undefeated record of 5-0. Despite his short career, his skill set has already proven effective in the lightweight division, securing all his victories by decision. His lack of knockout power might concern some, but his ability to outpoint opponents consistently should not be underestimated against Salcido, who has more experience but also has similar non-KO wins.

Omar Salcido, nicknamed "Super," boasts a 19-1 record but shares Cruz’s lack of knockout victories. Since turning pro at a young age, he's shown resilience and skill. His impressive fight count and experience in maintaining a winning streak suggest he can pose a real challenge to Cruz. Given their similar fighting styles and weight class, this fight could hinge on endurance and strategic execution in the ring.

Ernesto Mercado vs Jose Pedraza Fight

Ernesto Mercado faces Jose Pedraza in a super light bout.

• Division/Weight: super light
• Ernesto Mercado record: 16-0
• Jose Pedraza record: 29-6
• Belts at stake: N/A

Ernesto "Tito" Mercado turned pro recently and maintains an unbeaten record with 16 wins. As a fighter climbing the ranks rapidly, he brings fresh energy and technique into every match. Facing Pedraza, who has more losses, could prove strategic for Mercado if he leverages his undefeated momentum against him.

Jose "Sniper" Pedraza has years of experience with a professional record of 29 wins, 6 losses, and 1 draw. His vast experience and resilience after several fights make him a seasoned competitor. Against a relatively newer fighter like Mercado, Pedraza's extensive ring time and proven track record might provide him with crucial insights and advantages during the fight.

Harley Mederos vs Arturo De Isla Fight

Harley Mederos faces Arturo De Isla in a lightweight bout.

• Division/Weight: light
• Harley Mederos record: 7-0
• Arturo De Isla record: 5-2
• Belts at stake: N/A

Harley Mederos, undefeated with a record of 7 wins, turned professional at an early age. Despite lacking knockout victories, his flawless record signifies tactical skill and endurance. The similar height and reach with past opponents suggest that this matchup holds no distinct physical advantage for him over Arturo De Isla.

Arturo De Isla has a mixed fight history, standing at 5 wins, 2 losses, and 1 draw. He also lacks punch power notably missing knockout successes. Physically matched with Mederos and having faced similar experiences competitively, this fight suggests even terrain requiring strategic superiority to win.

Nishant Dev vs Alton Wiggins Fight

Nishant Dev faces Alton Wiggins in a super welterweight class fight.

• Division/Weight: super welter
• Nishant Dev record:
• Alton Wiggins record: 1-0
• Belts at stake: N/A

Nishant Dev turned professional recently. As this is his debut fight, we have no past fight record or opponent stats to analyze. However, his dedication and preparation for this particular fight have been intensive, suggesting he might be a strong contender despite the lack of history in professional boxing.

Alton Wiggins holds a record of 1 win, 0 losses, and 1 draw. He too is relatively new with limited fights but performed respectable enough to secure a win and a draw. Given his experience over Dev's debut status and inherent reach advantage in the same weight class, Wiggins could present a strong challenge based on his slightly more experienced background in professional bouts.

Leonardo Rubalcava vs Israel Mercado Fight

Leonardo Rubalcava will face Israel Mercado in a super light class bout.

• Division/Weight: super light
• Leonardo Rubalcava record: 9-0
• Israel Mercado record: 11-1
• Belts at stake: N/A

Leonardo Rubalcava, with an unbeaten record of 9 wins and no knockout victories, turned professional three years ago. Despite having fewer fights than his opponent Israel Mercado, Leonardo's ability to maintain an undefeated streak speaks to his tenacity and skill in the ring. Given that both fighters share similar physical metrics and fighting styles, this promises to be a closely matched battle.

Israel Mercado brings more experience into the ring with a record of 11 wins, one loss, and one draw. Turning professional seven years ago, Mercado gained valuable experience which includes more total fights than Rubalcava. With both fighters having no KO victories and sharing a similar reach, Mercado’s added experience from a wider range of opponents might give him tactical advantages in both defense and fight strategy.

Zaquin Moses vs Alex Pallette Fight

Zaquin Moses faces Alex Pallette in a super featherweight bout without any titles on the line.

• Division/Weight: super feather
• Zaquin Moses record: 2-0
• Alex Pallette record: 1-3
• Belts at stake: N/A

Zaquin Moses, who turned pro recently, sports a clean record of 2 wins and no losses. Not having faced major competition yet, Pallette could provide a new level of challenge considering his greater experience in the ring despite more losses. With both fighters standing at similar reach and favoring an orthodox stance, Moses might encounter strategical challenges beyond his current track record.

Alex Pallette comes into this matchup with 1 win and 3 losses. His four-fight experience mostly marks struggles but offers him insights on resilience and tactics against varied opponents. Facing Moses might allow him to assert more seasoned technique plus utilize his height advantage effectively in controlling the fight dynamics.
