Junior lightweight Abel Mejia has prepared for his upcoming bout by sparring Oscar Valdez and Joet Gonzalez, two opponents with conflicting styles.

Neither Isaac Cruz nor Brandon Figueroa was at his most devastating Saturday in Las Vegas, but both walked away with separate unanimous decision victories.

Saturday’s pay-per-view opener between recently beaten former two-division champion Brandon Figueroa and three-time featherweight title challenger Joet Gonzalez was crafted as if the matchmakers had marching orders to fit the catchphrase, “Desperate times, desperate measures.”

Brandon “The Heartbreaker” Figueroa has paired up with trainer Manny Robles ahead of his July 19 bout with Joet Gonzalez.

A resolute Joet Gonzalez produced a bloody, heartfelt triumph over Arnold Khegai in a split decision win Saturday in Long Beach, California.

The fighters have weighed in ahead of the ProBox TV card in Long Beach, California.

“I've taken everything on the chin, I’ve licked my wounds, dusted myself off, and I’m back in there,” says Gonzalez.


Khegai knows that a win can earn him a title fight next, while a loss can set him all the way back.
