Combattimento da Accokeek, Md., Hurd ha un record professionale immacolato dal passare al professionismo in 2012. Il 25-year-old ha aperto 2015 con un arresto terzo turno del veterano Eric Mitchell e seguito con un arresto settimo turno di precedenza imbattuto Jeff Lentz nel mese di 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.
Rappresentare Messico, il 2012 Olympian Molina combatte da Norwalk, Calif., and is unbeaten in his brief professional career. Il 26-year-old pro tornite in 2013 e dopo aver vinto una decisione nel suo primo periodo, ha continuato a mettere fuori sei avversari di fila. 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 vince 14 starts at just 19-years-old. Combattendo da Phoenix, Benavidez picked up four victories via stoppage in 2015 and kicked off his 2016 with a knockout of Kevin Cobbs in January. Più di recente, 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. su Giugno 25.
A popular Brooklyn fighter who competed in Barclays Center’s first-ever professional female boxing match, Hardy è diventato un fiocco all'arena dal. Su Giugno 25, she will be making her seventh appearance at Barclays Center. A poco più di due anni dopo il suo debutto pro, Hardy ha vinto una cintura titolo internazionale nella divisione super-gallo nel mese di ottobre 2014. In 2015, she defeated Noemi Bosques and Renata Domsodi twice. In her lone 2016 lotta, 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. Il suo 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.
Nato nella Repubblica Dominicana, Alonso moved to Spain at seven-years-old and would eventually represent the country at the 2012 Olimpiadi. 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 Giugno 25.
