Un cuatro veces campeón nacional aficionado canadiense, el nacido en Toronto Lo Greco se convirtió en profesional en 2006 y rápidamente se hizo un nombre por sí mismo como uno de los mejores peleadores de Canadá. The veteran fighter has also fought in Germany, Italia y Hungría antes de hacer su U.S. debut en 2012 al derrotar a Héctor Orozco en Atlantic City. Él acumuló un 25-0 record to begin his career and his lone defeats have come to top welterweights Shawn Porter and Errol Spence Jr. En su última pelea, Lo Greco stopped Pablo Munguia in the fifth-round.
Después de acumular un récord amateur de 69-8, Elegele se convirtió en profesional 2009 y se tambaleó 12 victorias para comenzar su carrera. One of nine siblings, Elegele worked as a sparring partner for Floyd Mayweather in 2013 and has also spent time in the training camps of Adrien Broner and fellow New Haven, FL native Andre Berto, who he has known since he was 12-years-old. He owns victories over Manuel Aguilar, Angel Hernandez and Lanard Lane and most recently stopped Alex De Jesus in the sixth-round of their Bounce TV clash in January.
Born in Australia but now training in Houston with Ronnie Shields, Lovett ve a aprovechar el impulso que ha ganado en 2015 with four knockouts in his five wins. The New South Wales-native has taken down veterans Kevin Engel and Samuel Miller in his last two fights as he heads into his toughest challenge in Baker.
A once-beaten fighter who turned pro in 2008, Baker enters this fight having four of his last five opponents inside the distance. The Baytown, TX native took home victories over Anthony Greeley and Sergio Cordoba in 2014 y dio inicio 2015 by knocking out highly regarded Umberto Savigne. Ahora, Baker looks to bounce back from a defeat to Edwin Rodriguez when he enters the ring on junio 12.
