(JUNE 3) LOS ANGELES - On
July 6th Edition of the "La Fight Club" at the Belasco Theater,
in Downtown Los Angeles, California, there will be a female bout
on the card, that will feature Seniesa "Super Bad" Estrada
(13-0, 3 KOs) in an eight-round light flyweight bout. This will
be Estrada's second fight at the La Fight Club, after she had
headlined the event in April. Estrada is coming off a technical
knockout victory Amarilis Adorno and plans to fight for a world
title in the near future.
In the mainliner, NABF
Bantamweight Champion Oscar "El Jaguar" Negrete (17-1, 7 KOs)
will be returning to fight in an eight-round bantamweight fight
against Dhiul Olguin (13-9-3, 9 KOs). This will be televised
live on Estrella TV's Boxeo Estelar.
Negrete, of Tierraalta, Colombia, built an impressive resume by
defeating tough opponents in both the bantamweight and super
bantamweight divisions. In his most important victory to date,
the 31-year-old defeated Sergio Frias for the NABF Bantamweight
Title in the main event Golden Boy Boxing on ESPN in June 2017.
Negrete then suffered the first loss of his career in a valiant
effort against WBC Super Bantamweight Champion Rey Vargas in
Dec. of that year. Negrete will look to fight for a world title
in the near future if victorious against Olguin.
"I'm very happy because I will finally make my return," said
Oscar Negrete. "I'm coming back after fighting for a world
title, though that loss was at 122. Now, my goal is to fight for
a world title in the divison I really belong in, which is 118
pounds. Olguin has a very misleading record, one that his
opponents should never be too confident of. I like this fight
because he is a fighter who will make high demands of me and
will give me a good idea of where I am."
Olguin is known to fans as a defeater of prospects and
contenders. Besides giving tough fights to Manuel "Tino" Avila
and Emilio Sanchez, Olguin has scored impressive victories
against Kevin "K-Smooth" Rivers, Jr. and Horacio "Violento"
Garcia. Olguin looks to prevent Negrete from becoming world
champion with a win on July 6.
"I appreciate yet another opportunity that Golden Boy Promotions
has offered me," said Diuhl Olguin. "And once again I will not
fail to take advantage of it like I did against Garcia and
Rivers. Negrete is a great boxer and I think our styles will
mesh well in a way that will give a great fight to the
knowledgeable boxing fans of Los Angeles."
Former Olympian Raul "Cougar" Curiel (3-0, 2 KOs) will
participate in the first televised fight in a six-round
welterweight clash. Super lightweight prospect Blair Cobbs
(7-0-1, 5 KOS) will participate in a four-round welterweight
battle. Opponents for both will be announced shortly.
