A showcase of emerging boxing talent arrives in Pleasanton, California, with “Elite Underdogs: The Next Generation of Fighters.” Sanctioned by the California State Athletic Commission, the card is promoted by Juan Sanchez of Elite Underdog and matched by Ali Benjamin.
In the featured bout, Willie Shaw (14-6, 10 KOs) will battle Salvador Briceno (18-10-1, 11 KOs). Shaw seeks to position himself for bigger opportunities, while Briceno, a veteran with over 25 career fights, looks to use his ring experience to upset the local favorite. Both men aim to make a statement in this competitive super lightweight clash.
Unbeaten Gabriel Garcia (11-0, 6 KOs) tests his pristine 11-0 ledger against Armando Frausto (10-6-1, 5 KOs). Garcia, an up-and-comer at super featherweight, wants to display the skills that have kept his record spotless. Meanwhile, Frausto hopes his professional seasoning will be enough to hand Garcia his first defeat and propel himself back into the conversation among rising contenders.
Blazen Rocili (8-0, 6 KOs) looks to extend his perfect 8-0 run, taking on Moris Rodriguez (8-17-3, 5 KOs). Although Rodriguez’s record suggests a potential underdog role, his combined pro experience makes him a tricky proposition.
