Unbeaten super middleweight Diego Pacheco will meet undefeated foe Steven Nelson in the twelve-round main event.
Pacheco knocked former title challenger Maciej Sulecki in six rounds in his last outing in August but was stunned by a Sulecki right-hand in an otherwise impressive victory.
The thirty-six-year-old Nelson, who is trained by Brian Macintyre from the same Omaha team as Terence Crawford, is unbeaten and knocked out undefeated Marcos Rodriguez in five last August but Pacheco will be the best opponent Nelson's met and who knows how Nelson will match up with Pacheco, who is one of the best young fighters in the sport.
Olympic gold medal winner Andy Cruz meets Omar Salcido in the lightweight co-feature.
Cruz has won his first four fights as a pro against good competition and stopped rugged veteran Antonio Moran in seven rounds last August.
Salcido has lost only once and crunched former title contender Chris Colbert in the ninth round in October, so he's not light work for Cruz, who won his 2020 Olympic gold over Keyshawn Davis in the finals but Cruz seems to be a cut above Salcido in class.
Vince Samano: Nelson Unanimous Decision
V.S: Salcido Unanimous Decision
