Without recent opponents to compare directly, it's critical for him to assert dominance in this class through his developing skills and consistent performance.

Samir Cuentas has a professional record of 4 wins and 4 losses. His experience slightly outweighs McCormack's with double the bouts yet remains balanced without dominance due to equal losses. He must leverage his track record's breadth but overcome inconsistencies to compete effectively against a rising McCormack in this matchup.

• Division/Weight: super middle
• Alex Arthur Jr record:
• Robbie Chapman record: 13-49
• Belts at stake: N/A

Without recent fight data or opponents' records for reference, there are limited grounds to predict how he will fare against Chapman. He must prove himself by competing with experienced fighters to build his reputation.

Robbie Chapman, known as "The Camden Caretaker," boasts 71 bouts with a record of 13 - 49 -9. Despite a challenging win-loss ratio, his vast experience in the ring may provide an edge over an inexperienced fighter like Alex Arthur Jr. If Chapman taps into his seasoned skills and opportunity awareness during fights, he could dominate this bout.

• Aston Brown record: 7-0
• Reece Porter record: 5-0

• Belts at stake: N/A

Lee Welsh takes on Anthony Morton with no belts on the line, fighting in the light weight class.

• Drew Limond record: 3-0

• Division/Weight: light
• Luke Bibby record: 9-1
• Cesar Ignacio Paredes record: 18-17
• Belts at stake: N/A

Despite a lack of knockout wins, Marcus remains strong in his fight performances. His most recent opponent had lesser experience compared to Dylan Nixon. Given that Dylan has yet to win a professional fight, Marcus retains an advantage.

Dylan Nixon, taller yet winless, holds a 0-2 record. All losses so far show difficulties matching up competitively despite comparable stature to Marcus. Dylan's height may not outweigh Marcus’s winning momentum this bout.

• Reese Lynch record:
• Jonatas de Oliveira record: 6-26
• Belts at stake: N/A

Reese Lynch faces Jonatas de Oliveira in a super light bout with no belts on the line.

Jonatas de Oliveira, with a 6-26 record, lacks recent wins and has never won by knockout. His opponents have mostly come from mid-tier levels, frequently exploiting his defense issues. Facing an inexperienced Lynch might disadvantage him further due to destabilized confidence despite weight proficiency.
