Nuñez, entinen maailmanmestaruuden haastaja, is looking to test his young opponent by bringing him into deep waters and kickstarting his boxing career for one last shot at a world title. Toisaalta, Espinoza is coming off a second-round stoppage of then undefeated Colombian prospect Yeison Vargas (17-1-12 Kos).
“My opponents tend to underestimate me because of my young age,” said Espinoza.“They soon realize my power once in the ring. I never underestimate anyone who has two hands.”
“I’ve seen that Espinoza has never fought into later rounds,” said Nuñez. “I’m looking to take him into uncharted waters to see if he still has the power he claims when we get into rounds 8, 9 and 10.”
On taistelu yö, the Hard Rock Event Center doors open at 6 iltapäivällä, ja toiminta alkaa 7 p.m. Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Kasino sijaitsee osoitteessa 1 Seminole Way in Hollywood, Fla.
