San Antonio’s Boeing Center at Tech Port hosts another lightweight firefight on Saturday, 7 June, as home‑state crowd‑pleaser Justin “Million‑Dollar” Pauldo (18‑2, 9 KOs) meets Mexican iron‑man Juan Carlos Burgos (36‑8‑3, 22 KOs) in a 10‑round main event streamed live on ProBox TV.
Pauldo has rebuilt quietly after a split‑decision loss to Miguel Madueno in 2023 and believes another emphatic win will crack the WBC top‑15. “I’m chasing gold this year. Burgos is the next step,” the Orlando‑born boxer–puncher said. The 37‑year‑old Burgos, who owns distance fights with Mikey Garcia, Devin Haney and Andy Cruz, sees the assignment as a route back to relevance after dropping three of his last four. “I’ve never turned down a tough road,” he told Mexican media.
Punch‑for‑punch, Pauldo carries the heavier artillery, but Burgos’ granite chin (never stopped in 47 bouts) and educated body attack have derailed prospects before. Matchmakers expect a chess match early before Pauldo’s counters test the veteran’s resistance down the stretch.
The televised co‑feature pits rising Texan welterweight Emiliano “El General” Moreno (12‑0, 9 KOs) against Ecuadorian spoiler Erick Bone (29‑7, 19 KOs) over 10 rounds. Bone, a late‑replacement king who once extended Shawn Porter, says he’ll drag the 22‑year‑old puncher into “deep water” in his toughest test to date.
