De Alba van Reading, PA has been one of the hottest fighters on the East Coast as he has won 13 straight bouts and is unbeaten since dropping his professional debut in 2011.
Die 27 year-old is coming into his own and has been training hard in preparation for this bout against Uribe.

Like two of his last three opponents, Jose Bustos and Pablo Batres, Uribe is a tough yet unknown fighter from Mexico who sports a solid record.
“He is a unknown guy with a decent record. Behalwe dat, I don’t know much about him but that doesn’t matter as I train for any style that he may bring.”
