1. Emanuel Navarrete had a rough weight cut, and had to shed 0.3 pounds in multiple attempts in two hours after failing the first time, he mostly does struggle to cut weight and always comes back strong next day after the weigh in. But this might be potentially his last bout at Super Featherweight considering he actually hired a nutritionist and Heredia. Charly Suarez is probably one of the few fighters with a longer reach than Navarrete and has beaten the likes of Luis Coria without controversy who dropped and broke the jaw of Coincecao early in his career (technically knocked down twice but one was counted as a slip), beat Yohan Vasquez without issues who just gave Abdullah Mason a tough test scoring two knockdowns and Jorge Castaneda who is a gatekeeper at Super Featherweight. Should be a fun fight.

2. The winner between Raymond Muratalla and Zaur Abdullaev for the interim IBF title could possibly be promoted to having a championship title after the fight. Since it looks like Lomachenko hasn't contacted his manager Egis Klimas for some time and is selling his house from Camarillo, California's which is in near proximity of the gym "Boxing Laboratory gym" in Oxnard he trained at. Might be wrong that Loma might be retiring.

3. The Albert Gonzalez vs Jose Guardado featherweight bout is canceled because Guardado passed out in Thursday during his weight cut, and was hospitalized. Was looking foward Gonzalez to comeback after a fighting tough journeyman and fighting in a quick turn around. But good thing Guardado did not risk his health further, he could gotten unnecessary damage if he didn't collapse, as he wouldn't be in good shape to fight.

4. Sebastian Hernandez is a super Bantamweight fighter look foward too, he debuted late at 21 years old, but he is relatively big for the division, has a 50-100 punch output per round smothering his opposition like William Zepeda and he packs a whallop. He is stepping up early in competition against a faded but still game Azat Hovhannisyan who is coming off two competitive losses to Nery and Picasso but hasn't won since 2022. It shouldn't be this early in the card.

5. Undercard is decent, not great but should entertain. Santillan's taking another soft touch after getting a beating by Norman Jr and Andres Cortes getting closer to becoming a top contender at 130. Hope Santillan tests someone like Ricardo Salas, Eimantas Stanionis or Conor Benn.
