На Март 26, NABO Junior Welterweight Champion Maurice “Mighty Mo” Hooker (19-0-2, 14 КО) risks his unbeaten record against Wilfrido “La Roca” Buelvas (17-5, 11 КО) 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 КО) во Медисон Сквер Гарден. 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, Тексас, 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 тепачки, compiling a record of 97 победи и само 7 загуби, со 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 КО е) at the Orpheum Theater in St. Луис. After four rounds, the judges saw the fight 40-36, 37-39 и 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, Тексас. Eleven wins (eight by knockout) later, he took on undefeated Abel Ramos (8-0, 4 КО е) јануари 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 КО е) на Април 26 at Fitzgerald’s Casino and Hotel in Tunica, Мисисипи. Four consecutive knockout victories would follow before he took on fellow undefeated prospect Eduardo Galindo (10-0-1, 7 КО е) јуни 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, Калифорнија и се борат надвор од бокс легло на Oxnard, непоразен Даниел "грч" Франко (12-0-3, 7 КО е) meets Mexican veteran German “Panteonero” Meraz(52-37-1, 30 КО) in an eight-round featherweight bout on Март 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, amassing рекорд аматер на 67-15, освојувањето на шампионатот во Oxnard PAL во 2006 и ракавици првенство во Калифорнискиот државен сребро во 2007 на патот. Во текот на професионално деби на Франко во декември 18, 2010, го победи Емануел Machorro во Клуб 401 во Онтарио, Калифорнија преку третиот круг технички нокаут. И покрај тоа што запишани како студент на полно работно време на Chaffey колеџ во Ранчо Cucamonga, Франко импресиониран почетокот на неговата кариера, составувањето на непоразен рекорд со две равенства во места низ Калифорнија до крајот на 2013. Еден од оние привлекува дојде против Алехандро Очоа на тивок топови во Montebello, Калифорнија септември 20, 2013, but in a rematch three months later, Франко outmatched Очоа постигнувајќи шест круг едногласна одлука победа на Вестин Бонавентуре Хотелот во Лос Анџелес. Јуни 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 Декември 21when he scored a decision victory over Hector Garcia in Tijuana, Мексико.

 

A promising unbeaten prospect from Salinas, Калифорнија, Rudy “The Revelation” Puja. Џуниор. (7-0, 6 КО)looks to extend his undefeated streak against Carlos “Kalimba” Lozano (7-5, 4 КО) 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 КО е) in two rounds at the Double Tree Hotel in Ontario, Калифорнија. Сега, 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. Во јуни 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, Невада. 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 Април 24 and a six-round unanimous decision over Juan Carlos Rojas on Ноември 21, both fights taking place at the Double Tree Hotel in Ontario, Калифорнија.

 

Brooklyn’s 20-year-old, непоразен Junior “The Young God” Younan (7-0, 6 КО е) се враќа на прстенот на Март 26 after a nine-month layoff to take on Cristian Solorzano (4-7, 3 КО) на Sonora, 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 на Barclays Center во Бруклин, Њујорк. Сега 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. Во 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 18та роденден, Younan made his professional debut on November 9, 2013, at the Aviator Sports and Events Center in Brooklyn, Њујорк, 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 во Foxwoods одморалиште казино во Mashantucket, Конектикат. He followed that fight with a first round knockout of Marlon Farr on Август 13 the BB King Blues Club and Grill in New York on Август 13.

Chinese heavyweight Zhang “Big Bang” Zhilei (7-0, 4 КО) joins the undercard on Март 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, Кина.

 

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. Во 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. Август 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. Во март 14, 2015, Zhang beat Eric George via a four-round unanimous decision at the Armory in Jersey City, Њу Џерси. 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 Јуни 6. Next came a sixth round technical knockout win over Dennis Benson at The Playground in Atlantic City on Август 15. To end the year, Zhang was featured on the undercard of the Ноември 21 Cotto vs. Canelo mega-fight at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, where scored a four-round unanimous decision victory over Juan Goode.

 

Локалните Хејворд, Калифорнија омилени Арон Coley (12-1-1, 6 КО е) faces a very stern test in a six-round junior middleweight bout against Проследено Ryskeldiev (11-3-2, 7 КО) of West Hollywood, Калифорнија, a Kyrgyzstan native who is undefeated in his last seven fights.

 

На Март 26, Coley will look follow his most recent victory, a unanimous decision over Jeremy Ramos onЈануари 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, Њујорк.
