In Panama’s headline clash, WBA Fedecentro Welterweight champion Derrieck Cuevas (26-1-1, 18 KOs) squared off against Alberto Mosquera (28-6-2, 16 KOs).

Meanwhile, in Bethlehem, the star attraction was Jordan White’s (15-1, 11 KOs) stunning performance against Eridson Garcia (17-1, 11 KOs). White showcased his lethal prowess, sending Garcia spiraling down with a show-stopping one-punch knockout. This win, set against the background of his previous triumphs over Brandun Lee and Vergil Ortiz, Jr., solidified his name in the boxing world, especially within the 130-pound division.

In the co-main event, the intense matchup between Paul Kroll (10-0-2, 6 KOs) and Guido Schramm (16-1-2, 9 KOs) was the talk of the town. Neither could secure a clear advantage, resulting in a contested majority draw. The statistics highlighted their evenly matched skills, with Schramm out-landing Kroll 169 to 166. Both fighters, despite the unresolved outcome, expressed eagerness for a rematch.

Further, the Bethlehem card showcased Julian Gonzalez’s (11-0-1, 9 KOs) triumphant win in the super featherweight division against Johnny Spell (8-1, 4 KOs), with Gonzalez's consistent boxing flair guaranteeing his unanimous decision.
