న మార్చి 26, NABO Junior Welterweight Champion Maurice “Mighty Mo” Hooker (19-0-2, 14 కోస్) risks his unbeaten record against Wilfrido “La Roca” Buelvas (17-5, 11 కోస్) of Barranquilla, Colombia in a ten-round junior welterweight bout. Hooker, rated number seven by the WBO, is coming off of a career-best win on October 17, 2015 against his toughest opponent to date in Ghislain Maduma (17-2, 11 కోస్) మాడిసన్ స్క్వేర్ గార్డెన్ వద్ద. Hooker successfully defended his NABO title with the 10-round decision win over Maduma on the undercard of Gennady Golovkin vs. David Lemieux in a fight that was featured on the event’s “freeview” in the United States and streamed online around the world. Buelvas, a former WBA Fedebol champion, has won two of his last three bouts by knockout and fought Humberto Soto for the WBC Silver International Super Lightweight title in 2014, going the 12-round distance before losing a decision to the former World Champion.

 

Born and raised in Oak Cliff, టెక్సాస్, a rough suburb of Dallas, Hooker found a boxing home at Maple Avenue Boxing Gym by way of an outreach program for at-risk youths. His natural talent was soon noticed resulting in him competing as an amateur, during which time he participated in over 100 పోరాటాలు, compiling a record of 97 విజయాలు మరియు మాత్రమే 7 నష్టాలు, తో 67 victories coming by way of knockout. Hooker turned professional on April 29, 2011, taking on the vastly more experienced Tyrone Chatman (7-1, 5 కో యొక్క) at the Orpheum Theater in St. లూయిస్. After four rounds, the judges saw the fight 40-36, 37-39 మరియు 38-38, making the fight a split draw. Undeterred, in his next fight on June 24, 2014, Hooker scored his first professional win, knocking out Wilbert Mitchell in the first round at the Dr. Pepper Arena in Frisco, టెక్సాస్. Eleven wins (eight by knockout) later, he took on undefeated Abel Ramos (8-0, 4 కో యొక్క) జనవరి 17, 2014 in a bout that was featured on ShoBox from the Cook Convention Center in Memphis. After eight close, hard-fought rounds, the judges saw the fight a draw. Hooker followed the draw with a six-round unanimous decision win over Adrian Rodriguez Garza (8-2, 6 కో యొక్క) న ఏప్రిల్ 26 at Fitzgerald’s Casino and Hotel in Tunica, Mississippi. Four consecutive knockout victories would follow before he took on fellow undefeated prospect Eduardo Galindo (10-0-1, 7 కో యొక్క) జూన్ 26, 2015 at the Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center in Dallas for the vacant NABO Junior Welterweight Championship. “Mighty Mo” did not disappoint his legion of hometown fans who saw him capture the title with a sixth round technical knockout victory.

 

Hailing from Rancho Cucamonga, కాలిఫోర్నియా మరియు OXNARD బాక్సింగ్ నారు బయటకు పోరాట, అజేయమైన డేనియల్ "అకస్మికంగా వణుకు" ఫ్రాంకో (12-0-3, 7 కో యొక్క) meets Mexican veteran German “Panteonero” Meraz(52-37-1, 30 కోస్) in an eight-round featherweight bout on మార్చి 26. Featured for the second time on a Ward undercard, the sharp-boxing Franco will look to improve on his undefeated record against an opponent with literally six times his pro boxing experience. Meraz is only 29 years old but has already logged an amazing 90 professional bouts and has won four of his last six fights by knockout. He has fought current World Champion Juan Carlos Payano, Three-Time U.S. Olympian Rau’shee Warren and highly-touted prospect Gervonta Davis, going the distance with all three.

 

Franco began boxing at the age of eight, ఒక ఔత్సాహిక రికార్డు amassing 67-15, OXNARD PAL ఛాంపియన్షిప్ గెలిచినపుడు 2006 కాలిఫోర్నియా స్టేట్ సిల్వర్ తొడుగులు ఛాంపియన్షిప్లో 2007 మార్గం వెంట. డిసెంబర్ ఫ్రాంకో యొక్క ప్రొఫెషనల్ తొలి సమయంలో 18, 2010, అతను క్లబ్ వద్ద ఎమాన్యూల్ Machorro ఓడించాడు 401 అంటారియోలో, మూడవ రౌండ్ సాంకేతిక నాకౌట్ ద్వారా కాలిఫోర్నియా. రాంచో కుకామోంగ లో Chaffey కాలేజ్ వద్ద ఒక పూర్తి సమయం విద్యార్థిగా చేరాడు మైనప్పటికీ, ఫ్రాంకో తన కెరీర్లో తొలి ఆకట్టుకున్నాయి, రెండు ఒక అజేయమైన రికార్డును కంపైల్ చివరికి కాలిఫోర్నియా అంతటా వేదికలు డ్రాగా 2013. ఆ ఒకటి MONTEBELLO లో నిశ్శబ్ద కానన్ వద్ద అలెజాండ్రో Ochoa వ్యతిరేకంగా వచ్చింది డ్రాకు, సెప్టెంబర్ కాలిఫోర్నియా 20, 2013, but in a rematch three months later, ఫ్రాంకో Ochoa లాస్ ఏంజిల్స్ లో వెస్టిన్ Bonaventure హోటల్ వద్ద ఆరు రౌండ్ ఏకగ్రీవ నిర్ణయం విజయాన్ని సాధించాడు outmatched. జూన్ న 20, 2015, during Ward’s return to the ring at Oracle Arena, Franco saw action in an eight-round junior lightweight bout against Jonathan Alcantara and won by unanimous decision. A hand injury suffered in that bout kept Franco out of action until డిసెంబర్ 21when he scored a decision victory over Hector Garcia in Tijuana, మెక్సికో.

 

A promising unbeaten prospect from Salinas, California, Rudy “The Revelation” Puja. Jr. (7-0, 6 కోస్)looks to extend his undefeated streak against Carlos “Kalimba” Lozano (7-5, 4 కోస్) of Ensenada, Mexico in a six-round middleweight bout. Puga turned in a career-best performance in his last match-up on February 12 in knocking out Alejandro Osuna (4-2, 2 కో యొక్క) in two rounds at the Double Tree Hotel in Ontario, California. ఇప్పుడు, just a little over a month later, “The Revelation” will step into the ring against a tough opponent in Lozanao, a southpaw who has never been stopped and already has a ten-round decision victory under his belt.

 

Having compiled an exceptional amateur record of 99-8, Puga made his professional debut on September 2, 2011, scoring a fourth round technical knockout victory over Raul Talamontes at the Sports Complex in his hometown. Back in the ring less than two months later, Puga Jr. raised his record to 2-0 with a first round technical knockout of Jose Jesus Hurtado at the Sherwood Inn in Salinas. జూన్ లో 2012, he sent Thomas Turner to the mat four times in scoring a second round technical knockout win at the Joint at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, నెవాడా. After a little more than a year away from the ring, he rededicated himself to the “sweet science” with a vengeance and on February 17, 2014, Puga Jr. made his comeback stopping Charon Spain in the third round with an overpowering body shot at the Salinas Storm House in his native Salinas. Promotional issues kept Puga Jr. out of the ring for the next year and injuries led to a slow 2015, but Puga Jr. scored a a fourth round technical knockout win over of Katrell Straus on ఏప్రిల్ 24 and a six-round unanimous decision over Juan Carlos Rojas on నవంబర్ 21, both fights taking place at the Double Tree Hotel in Ontario, California.

 

Brooklyn’s 20-year-old, అజేయమైన Junior “The Young God” Younan (7-0, 6 కో యొక్క) రింగ్ తిరిగి మార్చి 26 after a nine-month layoff to take on Cristian Solorzano (4-7, 3 కోస్) సోనోరా యొక్క, Mexico in a four-round super middleweight fight. Younan has battled multiple nagging injuries since scoring a second round technical knockout victory over Mike Sawyer on the Miguel Cotto vs. Daniel Geale undercard on June 6, 2015 బ్రూక్లిన్ లో బార్క్లేస్ సెంటర్ వద్ద, న్యూ యార్క్. ఇప్పుడు 100 percent healthy, Younan looks to make Solozano his third straight knockout victim. Solorzano, a naturally bigger fighter, has campaigned in the light heavyweight division and is coming off of a knockout win.

 

Younan, trained by his father Sherif, a former professional boxer himself, began fighting competitively at age eight and only two years later was called a “boxing prodigy” by the New York Times. He compiled an amateur record of 90-5, racking up an impressive series of titles along the way including nine Junior Olympic championships, nine Junior Metro championships, eight New York State Silver Gloves championships and five Regional Silver Gloves championships. లో 2011, he was crowned National Junior Golden Gloves champion and was U.S.A. Boxing’s number one rated junior boxer in his weight class. Less than a month after his 18వ పుట్టినరోజు, Younan made his professional debut on November 9, 2013, at the Aviator Sports and Events Center in Brooklyn, న్యూ యార్క్, stopping Kenneth Schmitz in the first round. Younan would go on to knockout his next three opponents before going the distance for the first time against Azamat Umarzoda on July 2, 2014 Mashantucket లో Foxwoods రిసార్ట్ కాసినో వద్ద, కనెక్టికట్. He followed that fight with a first round knockout of Marlon Farr on ఆగష్టు 13 the BB King Blues Club and Grill in New York on ఆగష్టు 13.

Chinese heavyweight Zhang “Big Bang” Zhilei (7-0, 4 కోస్) joins the undercard on మార్చి 26 in a four-round bout against an opponent yet to be determined. The Silver Medalist from the 2008 Beijing Olympics continues to infuse excitement into the heavyweight division and is coming off of a first round technicalknockout win over David Koswara on February 20 at the Lanzhou Sports Arena in Lanzhou, చైనా.

 

Born on May 2, 1983 in Henan, Zhang began his amateur career in 2003, participating in the World Championships. A breakthrough came in 2007 at the World Championships where Zhang defeated the trio of Nurpais Torobekov, Rustam Rygebayev and Daniel Beahan en route to the semifinals where he lost to Ukrainian Vyacheslav Glazkov. By capturing a bronze medal and finishing the competition in third place, he qualified for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. The Chinese powerhouse nearly reached the zenith of amateur success in the summer of 2008, entering the super heavyweight finals at the Summer Olympics in Beijing against Italy’s Roberto Cammarelle. It was not to be as Zhang suffered his first defeat of that Olympiad, losing to Cammarelle, but proudly adding to the host country’s medal total with a Silver. లో 2009, Zhang captured a gold medal at the China National Games, an event of equal prestige to the Olympics in China. 2013 saw yet another gold medal winning performance in the China National Games, setting the stage for “Big Bang” to embark on a professional career while basing himself in the United States. ఆగస్టు న 8, 2014, Zhang made his professional debut by scoring a first-round knockout win over Curtis Lee Tate in Fallon, Nevada in a fight that was televised live on ESPN2. మార్చి న 14, 2015, Zhang beat Eric George via a four-round unanimous decision at the Armory in Jersey City, న్యూ జెర్సీ. He followed that with another four-round unanimous decision win, this time over Glenn Thomas on the highly anticipated Cotto-Geale undercard at Barclays Center in Brooklyn on జూన్ 6. Next came a sixth round technical knockout win over Dennis Benson at The Playground in Atlantic City on ఆగష్టు 15. To end the year, Zhang was featured on the undercard of the నవంబర్ 21 కోటో vs. Canelo mega-fight at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, where scored a four-round unanimous decision victory over Juan Goode.

 

స్థానిక హాయ్వార్డ్, California ఇష్టమైన ఆరోన్ కాలీ (12-1-1, 6 కో యొక్క) faces a very stern test in a six-round junior middleweight bout against తరువాత Ryskeldiev (11-3-2, 7 కోస్) of West Hollywood, California, a Kyrgyzstan native who is undefeated in his last seven fights.

 

న మార్చి 26, Coley will look follow his most recent victory, a unanimous decision over Jeremy Ramos onజనవరి 23 at the Marriott on Broadway in Oakland, with another win in front of his hometown fans. Prior to his January win he scored two unanimous decision triumphs, including his June 20, 2015 performance against Yusmani Abreu (who Ryskeldiev defeated by technical knockout in September) on the undercard of Ward’s last fight. Considered a promising prospect in boxing circles, Coley’s lone loss came via decision to one of boxing’s hottest prospects in Ievgen Khytrov in a bout that was televised live on Showtime’s ShoBox on April 10, 2015 from The Aviator Sports Complex in Brooklyn, న్యూ యార్క్.
