Super middleweight Diego Pacheco faces Steven Nelson in the main event and 2020 Olympic gold medalist lightweight Andy Cruz takes on Omar Salcido in the co-main tonight from The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. The main card will be shown live on DAZN, beginning at 8:00 p.m. ET/5:00 p.m. PT.
The fight many boxing fans are talking about is Andy Cruz (4-0, 2 KOs) vs. Omar Salcido (20-1, 14 KOs) in this card. They’ll be fighting in a 10-round WBC 135-lb title eliminator. The winner will be the mandatory for WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson. Cruz is expected to dominate tonight and school the slugger Salcido. You can bet that Shakur will be watching closely, knowing that Cruz will likely face him in 2026.
Many believe that Cruz will be the #1 fighter in the lightweight division and defeat Shakur next year. From there, he’ll defeat Gervonta Davis and then Keyshawn Davis. It may take Turki Al-Sheikh to persuade both Tank and Keyshawn to fight Cruz, as he could scare them away once he defeats Shakur.
