According to tough welterweight contender Ed Paredes (34-3-1, 22KOs), he signed a promotional agreement with Golden Boy Promotions. Paredes, unbeaten since a 2009 decision loss to now junior middleweight champion Carlos Molina, parted ways with Henry Rivalta and Mike Tyson Productions last month. Paredes has won his last 13 outings. He went to a draw with Joey Hernandez in August, but then knocked Hernandez out in two rounds the following year.
