Cruz (4-0, 2 KOS) and Salcido (20-1, 14 KOS) will fight in a 10-round lightweight title eliminator for the WBC belt. This fight should be the main event, but Hearn is pushing Pacheco (22-0, 18 KOS) to turn him into a star as quickly as possible.

“It’s time to fight. The talk doesn’t matter,” said Steven Nelson after it was time to perform Yazan on Friday for his fight against Diego Pacheco on Saturday night. “My focus and determination. There is nothing I haven’t seen. I’ve seen everything I’m supposed to at camp.

“He’s young. He’s never been. He can’t prepare for what I bring. It’s going to be a great night for the cold. I’ve seen the cold front. He’s gone all over the country. Cold time, baby,” Nelson said.

“I’m just ready to go. I’m excited for this fight. I hope Steven Nelson is ready for what comes tomorrow night. It’s a DP show. If he doesn’t know, he’s about to fight,” Diego Pacheco said. “Steven Nelson is a good fighter, but he He’s never been with anyone like me. I promise you. I’ll see you guys tomorrow.

“I’ve prepared like this is the last fight of my life and I’m ready to go and put on a great show for all my people. Absolutely, and I didn’t come this far just to get this far. I’m not letting any man take this from me. This is the era of DP, and I’m here to stay.” “I’m showing that I belong to the elites, and it’s time for us to go,” Diego said.
