Alberto Mercado: record, next fight and profile →


Robbie Davies Jnr. will make his US debut on May 8 against former world super lightweight champion Sergey Lipinets live on ProBox TV.

The bar has already been set exceedingly high for Floyd Schofield Jr. So far, so good. The unbeaten lightweight prospect remained perfect as a pro, though he went deeper than ever before to claim his latest victory. It came in the form of a ten-round, unanimous decision win over Puerto Rico’s Alberto Mercado in their DAZN-aired co-feature Saturday evening at YouTube Theater in Inglewood, California.

Alexis Rocha soaked in the cheers of his adoring public as he once again effortlessly made weight. The 25-year-old southpaw from Santa Ana, California has remained a model of consistency at the scale throughout his young career. It showed once again during Friday’s official pre-fight weigh-in, where Rocha registered a fighting fit 146.4 pounds for his NABO welterweight title defense.

Golden Boy will kickstart 2023 with dynamite, as Santa Ana’s very own ace Alexis “Lex” Rocha (21-1, 13 KOs) is scheduled to defend his NABO Welterweight Title and level up against Atlantic City, New Jersey’s Anthony “Juice” Young (24-2, 8 KOs) in a 12-round main event presented in association with Hard Hitting Promotions. The welterweights will go head-to-head on Saturday, January 28 at YouTube Theater in Inglewood, and the event will be broadcast worldwide on DAZN beginning at 5:00 p.m. PST / 8:00 p.m. EST.

The same could not be said for some fighters on their undercard, but Eleider Alvarez and Joe Smith Jr. met their contractual obligations at their weigh-in Friday in Las Vegas. Montreal’s Alvarez officially weighed 174.6 pounds for his 12-round, 175-pound WBO elimination match against Smith on Saturday night. Smith, of Mastic, New York, stepped on the Nevada State Athletic Commission’s scale at 174.9 pounds.

Juncos, PR - Demonstrating the desire to be a real contender in the super featherweight division (130 pounds), Jayson "La Maravilla" Velez (28-5-1, 20KO's) annihilated former world champion Victor "Vikingo" Terrazas (38-6-2, 21KO's) in four rounds, in the main event of "Night of Champions DIRECTV: Triple Crown" held at the Rafael G.

Lamont Roach Jr. made it look routine, stopping one opponent in the first round and delivering a near shutout 10-round unanimous decision over another 41 days later last fall. Roach knocked out Luis Hinojosa at The Turning Stone Resort & Casino in Verona, New York, on October 21, 2017, and routed Rey Perez, 99-91, on all three judges cards on November 30 at The MGM Grand in Oxon Hill, Maryland, near his hometown of Upper Marlboro.
