Gabriel Flores Jr. vs. Jayson Velez Co-Feature
To Miguel Berchelt vs. Oscar Valdez On Feb. 20
Undefeated super featherweight standout Gabriel Flores Jr.
will fight former world title challenger Jayson Velez in a
10-round tilt Saturday, Feb. 20, as the co-feature to the
highly anticipated all-Mexican showdown between WBC super
featherweight world champion Miguel Berchelt and former
featherweight kingpin Oscar Valdez.
Velez replaces former world champion Andrew Cancio, who
suffered a back injury.
Promoted by Top Rank, in association with Zanfer Promotions,
Berchelt-Valdez and Flores-Velez will be televised live on
ESPN and ESPN Deportes at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT.
Velez (29-7-1, 21 KOs), from Juncos, Puerto Rico, makes a
quick comeback to the ESPN airwaves following his spirited
effort against Valdez last July. He lost via 10th-round TKO
after suffering a pair of knockdowns in that round. A
14-year pro, Velez has victories over former two-weight
world champion Juan Manuel Lopez, former WBC super
bantamweight world champion Victor Terrazas and
then-unbeaten prospect Alberto Mercado.
