Loitando fóra de Accokeek, Md., Hurd ten un rexistro profesional ilibada desde que se fixo profesional en 2012. A 25-year-old abriu 2015 cunha parada na terceira rolda do veterano Eric Mitchell e seguiu cunha paralización sétima rolda do ata entón invicto Jeff Lentz en agosto. He stepped up in competition last November when he faced Frank Galarza in Las Vegas and was able to show off his considerable skill by stopping the previously unbeaten fighter in the sixth round of perhaps a career-best performance.
Representando México, o 2012 Olympian Molina loita fóra de Norwalk, Calif., and is unbeaten in his brief professional career. O pro completou 26 anos en 2013 e despois de gañar unha decisión na súa primeira loita, el pasou a bater para fóra seis adversarios nunha liña. His last bout came against fellow unbeaten Domonique Dolton and featured exciting back-and-forth action before the fight was ruled a majority draw.
The younger brother of undefeated Jose Benavidez, David has racked up a perfect 14 wins in 14 starts at just 19-years-old. Fighting out of Phoenix, Benavidez picked up four victories via stoppage in 2015 and kicked off his 2016 with a knockout of Kevin Cobbs in January. Máis recentemente, he scored a second round knockout of Phillip Jackson Benson in April. The next challenge for Benavidez is the 33-year-old Ntetu, who won three times in 2015. Originally from the Democratic Republic of Congo, he fights out of Montreal and will be making his fifth appearance in the U.S. en Xuño 25.
A popular Brooklyn fighter who competed in Barclays Center’s first-ever professional female boxing match, Hardy tornouse un grampo na área desde. En Xuño 25, she will be making her seventh appearance at Barclays Center. A pouco máis de dous anos despois da súa estrea profesional, Hardy gañou un cinto de campión internacional na división super galo en outubro 2014. En 2015, she defeated Noemi Bosques and Renata Domsodi twice. In her lone 2016 loita, she stopped Anna Donatella Hultin in the fourth round.
A two-time New York Golden Gloves champion, Kownacki had a big 2015, notching four victories including knockouts of Maurenzo Smith and Randy Easton. Born in Lomza, Polonia, the 26-year-old now calls Brooklyn home. His 2016 campaign began in January at Barclays Center when he defeated Danny Kelly in front of a raucous Polish crowd.
Originally from New Orleans but fighting out of Houston, Prograis continues to work his way up the 140-pound rankings as he takes down veteran contenders. The 27-year-old looked sensational in his last outing as he scored a first round knockout over Mexico’s Aaron Herrera. Already named on of ESPN’s top prospects in 2015, he will look to cement his contender status in 2016.
Nacido na República Dominicana, Alonso moved to Spain at seven-years-old and would eventually represent the country at the 2012 Xogos Olímpicos. Now training in Brooklyn, the 25-year-old is undefeated since turning pro in 2014 while splitting time fighting in New York and Spain. He is coming off a victory over Ricardo Maldonado in February.
Vargas began boxing at age eight and by by age 13 the New York Daily News dubbed him a “prodigy.” Fighting out of New York, the 17-year-old Vargas recently signed to the Mayweather Promotions stable and will make his debut with his new promoter on Xuño 25.
