And, what’s up with this? Light heavyweight Ulises Sierra (1-0-1) 170 lbs. from Undisptued North Park in San Diego is set to face Cruiserweight Jose Luis Esparza who is making his pro debut and weighed in at 183 lbs. The Sierra camp is not concerned about the thirteen pound differential? Either Esparza is that bad or Sierra’s people are willing to gamble their fighter won’t get in a situation where that Esparza could possibly leverage his 13 pound weight advantage into a knockout blow.
Prince Tiger Smalls (L) poses for a photo with his father, Priest Tiger Smalls.
Cancellation – Featherweight Prince Tiger Smalls, the son of Priest “Tiger” Smalls, who trains at the San Diego Combat Academy on Mission Gorge Road was to make his long awaited Pro-debut against Jose Hernandez and both reportedly weighed-in at 123 pounds. Then late Thursday, came news that Smalls’ opponent was unavailable – a no-show for tomorrow night.
Light welterweight Rolando Perez (1-0-0, 1 KO) 138 lbs. is set to face Julio Cesar Nario (141 lbs). Nario is making his pro-debut.
Welterweight Erick Flores Maderos (1-0) 141 lbs. will be going up against Jose Arteaga (1-1) 143 lbs.
