The card itself presents many notable boxers that return to the ring after long layoffs. Edgar Berlanga in the main event returns from his September Super Fight against Canelo Álvarez, is ready to face Jonathan González-Ortiz. In what he has said, it is a small return fight that will open a much bigger fight in New York at the end of this year. Jamaine Ortiz faces Yomar Alamo on the American billboard and Olympic Omarion Jones makes her professional debut when she faces Alastronunzio.

Patrice Volny could raise a challenge for Williams ammunition tonight, since it is a high and long boxer with a difficult defense. In his last match against Steven Butler, Volny used a high -guard shell defense that made Butler to penetrate. Volny was very economical in the first four rounds, but increased its production strategically, selectively choosing its openings and punishing Butler when it attacked. Williams had difficulties with the high and long Hamzah Sheeraz, who fought against him in the middle and long reach. Sheraz was effective to land in this range due to Williams’ poor guard. The ammunition suffered its first professional defeat against Sheraz, losing by technical knockout in the 11th round.

Williams attributes the loss to the personal struggles he experienced during the training camp for the game when he lost his uncle. I wasn’t sleeping and fought to keep the focus. Now it is mentally renewed and 100 percent focused on this match with Volny. His goal is to show the world that he is a holder and has what is necessary to challenge the best in the medium weight division. With yesterday’s weighing, he seemed energetic, jumping up and down, and stating that he would put a show.

In his last match against Gian Garrido, an 8 assault, Williams had a slow beginning against an opponent that many expected to end very early. The ammunition must now capitalize on its great opportunity and perform with the expectation. You must perform a spectacular performance dominated by Volny. It cannot afford to suffer another setback as it did when he lost to Sheraz in Saudi Arabia.

Butler had a limited success in a volume attack when he fought against Volny when he went to the defense of Shell de Volny. Williams must try to increase its production, since it has been low production in its last two fights. An economic approach will not help him against Volny. You must also maintain a tight -distance guard and box to be effective. Do so will allow you to land and open Volny. The scenario is established, the ammunition must now go and perform and give the performance of his career.
