Lutando fora de Accokeek, Md., Hurd tem um registro profissional ilibada desde que se tornou profissional em 2012. A 25-year-old abriu 2015 com uma parada na terceira rodada do veterano Eric Mitchell e seguiu com uma paralisação sétima rodada do até então invicto Jeff Lentz em 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 luta fora de Norwalk, Calif., and is unbeaten in his brief professional career. O pro completou 26 anos em 2013 e depois de ganhar uma decisão em sua primeira luta, ele passou a bater para fora seis adversários em uma linha. His last bout came against fellow unbeaten Domonique Dolton and featured exciting back-and-forth action before the fight was ruled a majority draw.
O irmão mais novo do invicto José Benavidez, David has racked up a perfect 14 ganha em 14 começa com apenas 19 anos de idade. Lutando fora de Phoenix, Benavidez obteve quatro vitórias por paralisação em 2015 and kicked off his 2016 with a knockout of Kevin Cobbs in January. Mais 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. em Junho 25.
Uma lutadora popular do Brooklyn que competiu na primeira luta profissional de boxe feminino do Barclays Center, Hardy tornou-se um grampo na arena desde. Em Junho 25, she will be making her seventh appearance at Barclays Center. A pouco mais de dois anos depois de sua estréia profissional, Hardy ganhou um cinturão de campeão internacional na divisão super galo em outubro 2014. Em 2015, she defeated Noemi Bosques and Renata Domsodi twice. In her lone 2016 luta, she stopped Anna Donatella Hultin in the fourth round.
Duas vezes New York Ouro campeão Luvas, Kownacki had a big 2015, notching four victories including knockouts of Maurenzo Smith and Randy Easton. Born in Lomza, Polônia, the 26-year-old now calls Brooklyn home. Seu 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.
Nascido na República Dominicana, Alonso moved to Spain at seven-years-old and would eventually represent the country at the 2012 Jogos 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.” Lutando fora de New York, the 17-year-old Vargas recently signed to the Mayweather Promotions stable and will make his debut with his new promoter on Junho 25.
