THE UNDERCARD
Not much to get excited about
UNBEATEN Puerto Rican starlet
Christopher Diaz gets a step-up of sorts when he takes on Austin, Texas’ Casey Ramos
in a superfeatherweight co-feature. Despite losing his unbeaten record last year via a technical decision loss to Andy Vences, Ramos, 28, bounced back with a hardfought victory over gatekeeper, Miguel Beltran Jnr in April. For 23-year-old Diaz, this isthe first time he enters a bout scheduled for 10 and he can win on points. Heavyweight contender Bryant Jennings - now trained by John David Jackson - takes on the limited Don Haynesworth
in a scheduled eight-rounder. Philadelphia’s Jennings, who took a break from the game after losing back-to-back fights with Wladimir Klitschko and Luis Ortiz in 2015 - can take his record 21-2 (12) via a stoppage success. Also on the bill, leading world featherweight prospects, Michael Conlan
of Belfast, and Newark’s
Shakur Stevenson,
look certain to triumph.
