Roc Nation Sports’ Πόρνη (22-0-3, 16 KOs) will defend his North American Boxing Organization (ΓΕΙΤΟΝΑΣ) junior welterweight against title challenger Abdiel “Mortero” Ραμίρεζ (23-1-1, 21 KOs) στο 10-στρογγυλό κύριο γεγονός.
Fighting out of Dallas,
Hooker is world rated at No. 2 από τον Παγκόσμιο Οργανισμό Πυγμαχία (WBO), και αριθ. 4 από τη Διεθνή Ομοσπονδία Πυγμαχίας (IBF).
The 27-year-old Hooker was a decorated amateur boxer in Texas,
finishing with a 97-7 (67 KOs) ρεκόρ,
who turned pro in 2011.
Hooker first captured the vacant NABO title in 2015, at home in Dallas, with a six-round technical knockout of previously unbeaten Eduardo Galindo (10-0-1). Από, Hooker has made three successful title defenses against Ghislain Maduma (17-1) at the famed Madison Square Garden on Nov. 17, 2015, Ty Barnett (23-5-1) at Oracle Arena on August 6, 2016; and in a 10-round draw with former World Boxing Association (WBA) Παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής Darleys Perez (33-2-1) on undercard of Sergey Kovalev vs. Andre Ward “Pound-For-Pound” on Mov. 19 στο Λας Βέγκας.
In his most recent fight on Φεβρουάριος. 25 Μεξικό, Hooker cruised to a dominant 10-round decision victory over former IBF World Champion Cristobal Cruz (41-20-4).
Ραμίρεζ, 25, is a former FECOMBOX Lightweight Champion, fighting out of Ciudad Juarez, Μεξικό. Ραμίρεζ, who is riding a nine-fight win streak, will be fighting outside of his native Mexico for the first time against Hooker.
The 10-round co-feature for the vacant United States Boxing Association (USBA) featherweight crown has been in the works for a while and it could very well steal the show as former USBA champion Ντάνιελ “Twitch” Franco παίρνει Jose Haro.
The 25-year-old Franco (15-1-3, 10 KOs), fighting out of Rancho Cucamonga, Καλιφόρνια, started boxing at the age of eight, συγκεντρώνοντας μια ερασιτεχνική ρεκόρ 67-15, highlighted by gold-medal performances at the 2006 Oxnard PAL Championships and 2017 California State Silver Gloves Championships.
Fighting under the Roc Nation Sports banner, Franco captured the vacant USBA featherweight title last November, knocking out previously unbeaten Derrick Murray (13-0-1) in four rounds. Franco was stopped in his last fight by veteran Christopher Martin (29-8-3) in the third round of their non-title fight in Los Angeles on Μάρτιος 23. Franco is currently rated No. 5 by the USBA and No. 11 by the NABO.
USBA No. 14-rated Haro (13-1-1, 7 KOs), who is a well-kept secret outside of West Jordan, Γιούτα, is an all-action fighter. The 29-year-old has won his last five fights, unbeaten in in his last six with a draw, since suffering his only loss to highly-touted prospect Toka Kahn Clary (11-0) by way of a six-round decision in 2014.
