Weights

Diego Paceo 166.4 vs Steven Nelson 168

Andy Cruz 134.8 vs. Omar Salcido

Cruz (4-0, 2 KOs) and Salcido (20-1, 14 KOs) will fight in a 10-round lightweight title eliminator for the WBC belt. This fight should be the main event, but Hearn is pushing Pacek (22-0, 18 KOs) to become a star as quickly as possible.

“It’s time to fight. Talking is not important. It’s time to perform,” Steven Nelson said afterward measuring on Friday for his fight against Diego Pacheco on Saturday night. “My focus and my determination.” There is nothing I haven’t seen. I saw everything there was to do in the camp.

“He is young. Not seen. He can’t prepare for what I bring. It will be an amazing night for such a cold. You saw the cold front. It went across the nation. Such cold weather, baby,” Nelson said.

“I’m just ready to go. I’m excited for this fight. I hope Steven Nelson is ready for what’s coming tomorrow night. It’s a DP show. If he doesn’t know, he’s getting ready to fight,” said Diego Pacheco. “Stephen Nelson is a good fighter, but he’s never been with someone like me. I promise. You will see tomorrow.

“I’ve prepared like it’s the last fight of my life and I’m ready to go and put on another great show for all my people.” Definitely, and I didn’t get here just to get here. I’m not letting anyone take this away from me. This is the DP era, and I’m here to stay. I’m showing that I belong to the elite and it’s time to go,” said Diego.
