Rio 2016 Olympic Games hopes are on the line in the first match of the evening when USA’s Brent Venegas III meets Puerto Rico’s Jeyvier Cintrón Ocasio.
5-1 across his debut WSB season, Cintrón is ranked second at Flyweight (52 kg) and is on the cusp of earning a Rio 2016 quota through this competition.
Two Flyweights will earn potential Olympic glory, and Cintrón is currently two points ahead of Morocco’s Achraf Kharroubi which means any type of win for the Hurricane will see him through.
Venegas is a tough opponent however, and is 3-3 in this campaign with all of his victories coming at home and on points.
Cintrón has the class however, and despite his tender years already has masses of boxing experiences which translates into his in ring style which incorporates a fast pace and control from the outset.
3-1 Carlos Balderas has been one of USA’s best boxers this season, and faces Adrian Javier Martinez Morales who makes his season debut in this clash.

The night, and the group stages close at Super heavyweight (91+ kg) where USA’s powerful 2-3 Cam F. Awesome fights 0-1 Jose Gabriel Medina.
