In his last fight in July, Blanco stopped another undefeated challenger, 14-0 Mario Beltre, in the second round for the Dominican Republic lightweight championship.
New Orleans-native Brock, who learned how to box serving a 15-year prison sentence, adkaaday Chuy Gutierrez (14-0-1) in the June 10th “Knockout Night at the D” show to retain his World Boxing Council (WBC) United States lightweight title in his first title defense.

In 8-wareega co-feature, Puerto Rican junior middleweight Daniel “El Duro” Cross(11-1, 10 KOs) takes on former Mexico welterweight champion Norberto Gonzalez(22-8, 13 KOs).
