Victor Terrazas Will Now Face Jose Palma on April 14th

By Miguel Rivera

Colombia's Jose Palma is the third opponent in the last few weeks to get the opportunity to face WBC silver super bantamweight champion Victor "Viking" Terrazas (32-2-1, 18KOs), on April 14 at the Municipal Auditorium of Arandas, Jalisco.

"We've had setbacks to secure a foreign opponent who is willing to fight Victor Terrazas, but fortunately we now have him," said Edison Reynoso, director of Canelo Promotions.

Nicaragua's Daniel Diaz and Venezuela's Rafael Hernandez, were both discarded. After accepting, the first opponent realized that his passport had expired and then the second opponent said he injured his wrist in training.

This is the third trip to Mexico for Palma. He came to Mexico the first time to face Dante Jardon, but he was disqualified in the second round for an unintentional head butt. And then he exchanged punches with Alejandro Lopez, who won a decision.

Palma has a record of 15 wins (10 KO's), 5 losses and 2 draws.
