On the brink of moving from prospect to contender, Ofacio Falcon now has a promotional home.


O’Shaquie Foster needed to strip naked to make weight on his second attempt Thursday afternoon at Madison Square Garden. The WBC super featherweight champion is confident, though, that Abraham Nova will be the fighter pushed to his limit in their 12-round, 126-pound title fight Friday night. Foster (21-2, 12 KOs), of Orange, Texas, officially weighed in at 130 pounds for their 12-round, 130-pound championship clash in The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York. Nova (23-1, 16 KOs), of Albany, New York, stepped on the New York State Athletic Commission’s scale at 129 pounds on his first attempt.

Two rising talents are set to put their perfect records on the line as part of the ESPN-televised tripleheader headlined by the WBC junior lightweight showdown between reigning champ O’Shaquie “Ice Water” Foster and Abraham “El Super” Nova on Friday, Feb. 16 at The Theater at Madison Square Garden.

Edgar Berlanga and Jason Quigley enjoyed one more intense staredown before they meet in the ring this weekend. Both boxers were under the 168-pound super middleweight for their scheduled 12-round main event this Saturday at Madison Square Garden’s Hulu Theater in New York City. Brooklyn’s Berlanga officially weighed 167.8 pounds during Friday’s official pre-fight weigh-in under the supervision of the New York State Athletic Commission. Ireland’s Quigley was 167.6 pounds for their regional title fight which will top a DAZN show (Saturday, 8:00 p.m. ET).

Jose Alvarado called upon his team to provide a test rather than play it safe at home. The demand came back to haunt him, as the unbeaten lightweight came up short in a road trip to San Jose, Costa Rica. Alvarado suffered an upset six-round, majority decision defeat to local clubfighter Keling Fonseca in the opening bout of a six-fight DAZN telecast Thursday evening Ciudad Deportiva Heiner Ugalde in Valle’s hometown of San Jose, Costa Rica.
