Gustavo Perez will hit the road in search of his biggest win to date, writes Jake Donovan.

Eveling Ortega’s mettle and chin were tested Friday at Polideportivo Alexis Arguello in Managua, Nicaragua, when she outpointed Karol Gonzalez to defend her minor 108-pound belt in her home country.

The show goes on and with the stakes raised for the evening’s new main event in Managua. Kevin Vivas and Rene Santiago were both under the junior flyweight limit for their upgraded interim WBO title fight. The regionally-based Vivas was 107.4 pounds, while Puerto Rico’s Santiago was 107.6 pounds for their scheduled 12-round makeshift headliner Friday evening on ESPN+ and ESPN Knockout from Polideportivo Alexis Arguello in Managua, Nicaragua.
