A big tripleheader is coming to Tijuana, Mexico. The card was going to take place in Cancun, but ESTO informs that Fernando Beltran of Top Rank has notified the fighters of a location change to Tijuana.
In the main event, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (38-0, 29KOs) will take on once-beaten Carlos Nascimento, with the only loss coming in the form of an eleventh-round knockout at the hands of current WBO junior middleweight champion Sergiy Dzinziruk.
The second bout has former champion Fernando Montiel (38-2, 28KOs) and Eric Morel (40-2, 21KOs) battling it out for the vacant WBO interim bantamweight title. With Gerry Penalosa moving up in weight to face WBO super bantamweight champ Juan Manuel Lopez on April 25, the winner of Montiel-Morel should become the full champion.
The third bout will have WBC super featherweight champion Humberto Soto. The opponent has not yet been decided. The card will likely be televised as one of Top Rank's independent "Latin Fury" pay-per-views.
