Brandon Adams vs. Daniel Edouard
Undefeated 24 years old Brandon Adams (12-0-0, 8 KO’s) of California will fight Daniel Edouard (23-4-2, 14 KO’s) from Florida. Adam is coming in from five consecutive victories via stoppage. He stopped three opponents in two rounds. So this guy can really punch, and starts strong. Edouard could be in a short night, but he bring experience to the table against a seemed heavy handed opponent.
Cerresso Fort vs Vitaliy Kopylenko
American Cerresso Fort (17-2-1, 11 KO’s) will try to get back to the winning column after TKO defeat against Caleb Truax in round 4 in his attempt for the vacant USBA middleweight title. On the opposite corner, Ukrainian Vitaley Kopylenko (22-0-0, 12 KO’s) will try to continue his unblemished record.
Donatas Bondrovas vs Willie Monroe Jr.
Born in Lithuania now residing in Chicago, Donatas Bondrovas (18-4-1, 6 KO’s) will face Willie Monroe Jr. (15-1-0, 6 KO’s) of New York.
Raymond Gatica vs Sena Agbeko
Texan Raymond Gatica (13-2-0, 8 KO’s), is looking to get back to the winning side as he faces undefeated Sena Agbeko (15-0-0, 15 KO’s) of Ghana. Agbeko has an impressive resume, who has a perfect record, and those victories are all by way of knockouts. Out of 15 Agbeko opponents, only one went to the final round, but he eventually stop that opponent in the final round.
