Ray Beltran vs Jose Pedraza Aug. 25th

[MMALOPEZ]

Beltran (35-7-1, 21 KOs), 36, a Mexico native fighting out of Phoenix, won a vacant title by decision in a hard-fought bout with Paulus Moses in February and was supposed to face Vasiliy Lomachenko in a title unification fight on Aug. 25. However, when Lomachenko suffered a torn labrum during his title win over Jorge Linares on May 12, it meant Beltran was without a summer opponent, and Top Rank promoter Bob Arum told ESPN that Pedraza would be his likely opponent instead.

If Beltran-Pedraza comes off, the winner probably would fight Lomachenko in a title unification on Dec. 8, the date penciled in for Lomachenko's return.

Meh, will be watching Garcia/Porter.

Top Rank starting to over saturate the market. They have 4 cards booked for the next 5 Saturdays, with all irrelavant squash matches. Maybe with the exception of Pitufo Diaz vs Ito, which is competing with the Mikey/Easter card

Beltran is always entertaining.

 

[MMALOPEZ]

The winner has the gift of facing Lomachenko In December

 

[JayE]

Beltran has looked shaky his last two times out and is at a prime age to fall off a cliff, but Pedraza isn't really anything special. Could be a fun fight, though.

Odds are super close on this, nearly a pick 'em. Money to be made if someone has a strong lean how this goes.

@MMALOPEZ , can you edit title and add "RBR" to this one? Coverage on ESPN+ starts in about half an hour...

Headed out with the wife and some friends to grab a bite, catch you guys later for the main card.

Beltrans fighting at home for the first time in years with his first title defense.
I think he'll stop Pedraza mid to late rounds
