Ontario, CA – The stage is set for a thrilling night of boxing at the Toyota Arena on December 14, as Alexis Rocha and Raul Curiel successfully made weight on Friday for their highly anticipated 12-round bout, where the NABF and NABO belts will be on the line.
Rocha (25-2, 16 KOs), the hard-hitting welterweight southpaw from Santa Ana, California, tipped the scales at 146.4 pounds, comfortably under the 147-pound limit. His opponent, the undefeated Raul Curiel (15-0, 13 KOs) of Mexico, weighed in at 146.6 pounds, making both fighters ready to go the distance in a fight that promises to be an all-out war. With both men bringing power the fight could also end by knockout.
The co-main event features another stellar showdown, as two undefeated fighters square up, Charles Conwell (20-0, 15 KOs) of Detroit, Michigan, and Gerardo Luis Vergara (20-0, 13 KOs) of Argentina fight for the right to remain undefeated. The bout is set for 10-rounds in the 154-pound division.
In the super flyweight division, popular Los Angeles’ John “Scrappy” Ramirez (13-1, 9 KOs) will make his return to the ring against the undefeated Ephraim Bui (10-0, 8 KOs) from Sugar Land, Texas. Ramirez wants to prove to the boxing world that he isn’t a hype job after his first career loss and a win against a top undefeated super flyweight fighter like Bui will help silenced the doubters.
Former women’s unified flyweight champion Marlen Esparza (14-2, 1 KO) of Houston, Texas takes on the four-time world champion Arely Mucino (32-4-2, 11 KOs) of Mexico. The fight will be held in the super flyweight division.
In the opening bout of the main broadcast on DAZN, a 10-round super featherweight showdown, Victor Morales Jr. (19-0-1, 9 KOs) from Vancouver, Washington, and Jose Ivan Guardado Ortiz (16-2-1, 6 KOs) of Mexico kick off the event and hope to start the night right with an action packed bout.
