Before we head into a Saturday full of attractive fights, DAZN will host a card in Mexico live from the Cintermex in Monterrey. 22-year-old super middleweight contender Diego Pacheco (18-0, 15 KOs) will look to continue his winning streak as he faces Manuel Gallegos (19-1-1, 16 KOs).
Pacheco has been one of the more active prospects turned contender as he gloved up four times last year and is fresh off a fourth-round TKO victory over Jack Cullen (21-4-1, 9 KOs) in March. Pacheco recently signed a multi-fight extension with Eddie Hearn and Matchroom, so it is clear they feel he can be the division's future once Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez decides to retire in the next couple of years. Pacheco has been a fighter who has been perfecting his craft every fight and has the potential to be a problem in that division. Can Pacheco continue to build on that momentum on Friday night against Gallegos?
Gallegos is a nine-year pro with 16 knockouts, but all came from fighting in Mexico. In February, he was the subject of a majority draw against Richard Vansicien (13-1-1, 6 KOs) on a ProBoxTV show. He now has the tough challenge of fending off a young bull in Pacheco while scoring enough offense to create a knockout or score a decision win. Can Gallegos pull off the upset on Friday night?
