Ce est ce que les besoins de boxe, two great fighters going at it.”

Cerise, de Wauchula, Floride, est un ancien challenger titre mondial qui est 10-1 depuis 2009. Ses seuls défauts depuis 2007 are losses to Timothy Bradley and Paulie Malignaggi at 140-pounds and his title challenge last October against Jose Pedraza in which he dropped a split decision. Cerise, qui est né dans les Bahamas, possède plus de victoires Vicente Escobedo, Monte Meza Clay and Wes Ferguson and will look to take down a contender on his way to another title shot.
Un athlète multi-sports qui a participé à la fois dans la boxe et les arts martiaux mixtes professionnel, Oklahoma City’s Rhodes looks to rebound on June 28 from his first blemish at the hands of unbeaten Sergey Lipinets. The 28-year-old recorded four victories in 2014 including triumphs over Miguel Angel Huerta and John Nater before fighting to a draw in 2015 with Jared Robinson in addition to the fight with Lipinets.
Un hors de combat invaincue de Wilmington, Delaware, Douglas impressed in the MARDIS TOE-to-toe main event in December 2015 when he defeated contender Frank De Alba in a step up fight. Le jeune homme de 24 ans avait déjà battu Daniel Attah en 2015 et auparavant décrocha vétérans Anthony Napunyi, Jean Javier Sotelo and Osnel Charles and he will again fight strong competition as he seeks a world title shot in the near future.
Fighting out of Miami but originally from Cuba, Collado turned pro in 2008 and was victorious in his first 18 pro bouts before a decision loss in 2014. The 28-year-old owns victories over veterans Edgar Riovalle, Franklin Varela and Jose Saez and most recently stopped Gyci Lorenzo in February.
