Canelo Alvarez Promotions' Top Prospects
Fight Wednesday, May 3, In Guadalajara
As the boxing world descends upon Guadalajara, México for
Canelo-Ryder fight week, Canelo Alvarez Promotions will show
off three of their young undefeated boxers, in the boxing
ring, on Wednesday, May 3.
The three Canelo fighters on the stream will be Fernando
“Ferros” Molina (8-0-1, 3 KOs) from Guadalajara, México,
Lazaro Lorenzana (10-0, 8 KOs) from San Diego, CA, and
Jonathan Lopez (10-0, 7 KOs) from Orlando, Florida.
The fight card, promoted by Canelo Alvarez Promotions, Close
Y Talento Boxeo and No Boxing No Life, will be streamed live
world-wide on ProBox TV beginning at 9 pm ET / 6 pm PT.
In the main event, Molina will battle Kevin Piedrahita (6-1,
6 KOs) from Celaya, Guanajuato, México, in a ten-round
lightweight bout. In the co-featured bout, Lorenzana and
Alexis Rios (4-2-1, 1 KO) from Zapopan, Jalisco, México will
face off in a six-round super welterweight bout. Opening the
stream will be Lopez in a ten-round super featherweight
bout.
Calling the fights on the ProBox TV produced event, on the
English side, will be blow-by-blow commentator Mike “Goldy”
Goldberg with the expert duo of former world champions Paul
“Magic Man” Malignaggi and Chris “The Fighting Collegian”
Algieri as color commentators. On the Spanish side will be
Ricardo Celis calling blow-by-blow and Eight-Time World
Champion Juan Manuel Marquez adding his expertise.
Chris Algieri notes: “Of course the eyes of the boxing world
are all going to be on Canelo in his return to Guadalajara
against John Ryder. This a massive event and deserves the
attention it is getting. That being said, it doesn’t mean
the boxing world stops. ProBox will have its regularly
scheduled Wednesday night fight series right in the middle
of Canelo-Ryder fight week. ProBox isn’t here to compete
with Canelo Alvarez, it’s here to find the next Canelo
Alvarez. Young fighters shouldn’t have to put their careers
on hold because of a big fight. In fact, it’s a great
opportunity for the champions of the future to soak up some
of that superstar buzz that surrounds a big fight week.”
Paulie Malignaggie adds: Canelo is always front and center
and is the name that resonates most with todays fight fans
out of all the fighters of this generation. He is always the
one under the most powerful microscope because literally
everything about him can be and is discussed on his fight
weeks. And ProBox is grateful to be part of the discussion.”
