Featherweight Jose Galvez will face Francisco Gabriel Pina tonight in a clash between prospect and gatekeeper.

The 10 round bout will take place at the Gran Hotel in Galvez's hometown of Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico and will air on beIN Sports en Espanol, beginning at 11 p.m. ET/ 8 p.m. PT.

Galvez (15-2-1, with 9 KOs) stopped Alem Robles in his last bout on March 10. He has won his last five bouts since being stopped by Adalberto Borquez in July of 2015.

In his last bout on January 14, Pina (14-13-5, with 6 KOs) lost a close decision over 10 rounds to unbeaten contender Carlos Diaz. The loss snapped a three-bout winning streak, which included a unanimous decision victory over former world title challenger Miguel Beltran, Jr. on September 3.

Pina also has victories over former world title challengers David De La Mora and Fernando Vargas.

Another fighter who is from Tijuana will also fight Satuday night as hard-hitting junior middleweight Jaime Munguia (23-0, with 19 KOs) squares off against Miguel Angel Flores.

Munguia, who is only 20 years of age, won a one-sided decision over Johnny Navarrete in his last bout on April 29, snapping a string of 13 consecutive knockout victories.

Lopez (16-21-3, with 12 KOs) has lost four of his last five bouts.
