White Delight Promotions, Medford Armory

7 Rds   Marco Cardenas (12 8 1)        Damian Carrillo (5 0 0)                        super light

This will be the first time that Carrillo will be challenged by a more experienced fighter. Though Carrillo's two wins have come by way of the knockout, he will have to be aware of the skill and power that Cardenas brings to the ring. Carrillo will have a height and slight reach advantage, which could present Cardenas with a challenge as he tries to work in close. Cardenas is coming off a string of three wins, his most impressive was a unanimous decision win over previously unbeaten Lorenzo Caldera. This will be the first time either fighter has fought a seven rounder.

6 Rds   Carlos Brandon Ortega Taylor (3 3 0)  Brandon Colantonio (5 1 0)    heavy

This bout features one of the northwest's busiest heavyweights as Ortega is making his fourth appearance in '25. Colantonio last fought in October, and scored a unanimous decision win in a tough four round battle with Aurek Anderson. While Colantonio has gone six rounds before, this will be a first for Ortega, so conditioning could play a role in the outcome. Ortega is a brawler; he is constantly coming forward. Neither man has scored a knockout win, but that doesn't mean the punches will not be thrown looking for one.

5 Rds Dylan Carlson (2 10 2)               Roman Avetisyan (1 4 0)                     middle

This is a rematch of a bout fought in September in which Avetisyan scored a four round unanimous decision. Prior to that fight, in March, Carlson scored the four round unanimous decisions. The outcome of both fights hinged on the outcome of one round, so expect this third battle to be close as each man's last win was against the other. As they are familiar with each other, and know previous fights were close, this has the potential to be the best of the three contests they have fought.

5 Rds Leon Cavalli (1 4 0)                    Mauricio Huerta Jr (0 1 0)                   light

Cavalli last fought in October of '23, when he dropped a close decision to Wilfred Mariano. Huerta is coming off a loss in February. While Cavalli has more ring experience as a boxer, kick boxer and MMA fighter, and will be fighting in front of his hometown crowd, Huerta showed that he can deliver blows and stand in against a tough opponent. Cavalli's last four opponents have all been tough fighters. Both men look to get back on the winning track.

5 Rds Gerardo Esquivel (7 5 1)            Margarito Hernandez (5 9 3)              welter

Forget about the records with these two fighters. Both are coming off of a two win run; both are able to trade punches with their opponent; and while knockout power may not be in their arsenal, they can pile up scoring punches to break down an opponent. Esquivel is a brawler. He will stand in front of an opponent and throw punches from a number of angles. Hernandez is a patient fighter, looking for opportunities to step in close and deliver body shots. These two have been wanting to face each other for a while, and while they may be friends, expect that friendship to be on hold until after the fight.

4 Rds Christian Torrico (1 0 0)             Jeremiah Sierra (3 2 0)                        welter

Torrico's debut win came by way of a second round knockout, so he carries some power in his right hand. Sierra is riding a three win streak, one of those wins coming after a first round knockout, so he too has shown some power. Sierra's ring experience may give him an advantage in the bout, though Torrico's amateur kick boxing experience also will be a factor. Sierra will be coming down in weight from his last fights, and that could work to his advantage if he still carries the power of the heavier weight.

4 Rds Abraham Martin (6 3 1)             Alonzo Sanchez (2 0 0)                        light heavy

In his two professional bouts, Sanchez has shown that he has the power to stop his opponent. Martin has gone the distance in his last four fights, and five of his six wins have come when he knocked out his opponent. Sanchez will be tested in this bout as Martin's ring experience shows that he has the ability to adjust to what his opponent brings to the ring and he is constantly moving forward to apply pressure. Expect a slugfest.
