Ring City USA has announced a loaded seven-fight undercard for this Thursday’s event, the third and final of the boxing outfit’s residency in Puerto Rico, which will be presented live from Plaza del Quinto Centenario in Old San Juan. The March 25 event will be broadcast live at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT on NBC Sports Network and NBC Sports app in the United States and Puerto Rico. Outside the United States, Ring City’s undercard action will be available on Twitch.
Headlining Thursday’s event from Old San Juan is the previously announced 10-round title fight featuring seven-division world champion and future Hall of Famer Amanda Serrano (39-1-1, 29 KOs) defending her WBO and WBC featherweight world titles against current two-division titlist Daniela Bermudez (29-3-3, 10 KOs).
Co-featured on the NBC Sports Network broadcast, in an eight-round bantamweight clash, Puerto Rico’s Abimael ‘Manos de Piedra’ Ortiz (8-0-1, 4 KOs) battles Mexico-born Eduardo ‘Lalo El Gemelo’ Baez (18-1-2, 6 KOs), who now fights out of Calexico, Calif. A resident of Cidra, Puerto Rico, Ortiz has won six fights in a row, including a ten-round unanimous decision over former world title challenger Chris Avalos in his most recent start on November 30, 2019. Baez is undefeated over his last ten bouts and returns to the Ring City USA ring following an eight-round unanimous decision over previously unbeaten Narek Abgaryan on the December 17, 2020 card at the Wild Card Boxing Gym in Los Angeles.
Also featured on the NBC Sports Network card is an eight-round battle in the super-bantamweight division when hard-hitting Carlos ‘Purin’ Caraballo (13-0-0, 13 KOs) of Ponce, P.R., hits the squared circle against Leonardo ‘Leon’ Baez (18-3-0, 9 KOs) of Mexicali, Mexico. The 25-year-old Caraballo has earned a well-deserved reputation for his show-stopping knockouts, eight of which have come in the first three rounds. He returns to action following a first-round knockout of perennial contender Mike Oliver in February 2020 in San Juan, P.R. Also 25-years-old, the upset-minded Baez looks to return to the win column after suffering a loss to Jason Moloney in June 2020 following a six-fight win streak.
Headlining the Twitch portion of the broadcast, Juan Carlos ‘El Indio’ Camacho (11-1, 6 KOs) of Juana Diaz, P.R., clashes with Marvin Solano (23-5, 8 KOs) in a scheduled eight-round bantamweight bout. The 24-year-old Camacho anxiously returns to battle following a 15-month layoff. His last fight against Lucas Fernandez Leone in October 2019 was cut short in the fourth round due to a cut suffered by Leone as a result of an accidental headbutt. Fighting out of the boxing hotbed of Managua, Nicaragua, Solano is victorious in two of his last three fights, including a 10-round unanimous decision over contender Dewayne Beamon in November 2019.
Competing in an eight-round junior middleweight bout, two San Juan natives will battle when Luis Midyael ‘Diamante Negro’ Sanchez (8-1, 6 KOs) faces Ryan Pino (8-5-2, 4 KOs). The 26-year-old Sanchez, victorious in his first eight professional bouts, looks to re-enter the win column following a hotly contested eight-round defeat against Patrick Cora. The Bronx, New York-bred Pino also looks to hit the win column after an eight-round decision loss to Kevin Johnson in February 2020.
Hitting the squared circle in a six-round flyweight bout, highly touted prospect Oscar Collazo (2-0, 2 KOs) of Villaiba, P.R. challenges veteran Francisco ‘El Remanche’ Bonilla (6-9-3, 3 KOs) of Chihuahua, Mexico. Following a heralded amateur career including a gold medal at the 2019 Pan American Games, the Newark, New Jersey born Collazo has quickly impressed in the professional ranks, most recently scoring a second-round knockout against Kevin Jusino in December 2020.
Fighting in an eight-round women’s flyweight bout, former three-time world champion Arely ‘Ametralladora’ Mucino-Reyes (28-3-2, 10 KOs) of Monterrey, Mexico battles Lucia ‘Maravilla’ Hernandez-Nunez (7-10) of Mexico City, Mexico. Victorious in her last seven fights, Mucino-Reyes is coming off of a nearly two-year layoff as she starts the path toward regaining a world championship. In her last start Hernandez-Nunez won a hard-fought six round decision over Esmeralda Torres on November 16, 2019.
Opening up the action on the Twitch portion of the broadcast in a four-round lightweight bout, 19-year-old Angel Carranza-Jimenez (1-0, 1 KO) of Hatillo, P.R. faces off against battle-tested veteran Eduardo Melendez (5-29, 1 KO) of Ponce, P.R.

The first six fight cards of the upstart Ring City USA series have generally featured competitive bouts on paper with several of them delivering on that promise.
The series, which airs on NBC Sports Net (9 p.m. ET), will have two more events in April with both main events also seeming to look as though they will be competitive. There will be cards on April 8 and April 22, a source with knowledge of schedule told BoxingScene while also outlining the main events.
The April 8 show will feature junior middleweight prospect Charles Conwell, a 2016 U.S. Olympian and one of boxing’s top up-and-comers, squaring off with on Ivan Golub in a 10-round bout.
On April 22, the main event will feature a rare clash of undefeated American heavyweight hopefuls as Jermaine Franklin will take on Stephan Shaw in a 10-round fight.
The cards both will take place at the same location, which has not yet been finalized. That follows the same pattern Ring City has employed since launching last fall.
The series kicked off in November with its first three cards taking place in the parking lot of Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach’s Wild Card Boxing Club in Hollywood, California.
The next three shows, including the one on Thursday night in San Juan, Puerto Rico, headlined by unified women’s featherweight world champion Amanda Serrano defending her belts against junior featherweight titlist Daniela Bermudez, moved to various outdoor locations in Puerto Rico.
The 23-year-old Conwell (14-0, 11 KOs), of Cleveland, earned a ninth-round knockout win over then-undefeated Madiyar Ashkeyev in the Ring City main event on Dec. 17 and will be back on the series for a second straight fight,
Golub (19-1, 15 KOs), a Ukraine native fighting out of Brooklyn, New York, was once a top-flight prospect in his own right after a stellar amateur career. Since a disputed eight-round decision loss to Jamontay Clark in June 2017, Golub has won six fights in a row and figures to be Conwell’s toughest test so far as a professional.
Franklin and Shaw were both standout amateurs and among the best of the United States’ crop of heavyweights.
The 6-foot-2, 235-pound Franklin (20-0, 13 KOs), 27, of Saginaw, Michigan, has gotten exposure on Showtime and has won three fights in 2019 against veteran Rydell Booker, fringe contender Jerry Forrest and Pavel Sour. Because of the coronavirus pandemic, Franklin did not fight in 2020.
The 6-4, 240-pound Shaw (14-0, 10 KOs), 28, of St. Louis, is coming off a shutout eight-round decision win over Lyubomyr Pinchuk on the untelevised portion of the Conwell-Ashkeyev undercard in December. All of Shaw’s knockouts have come inside four rounds.
Also on the April 22 card, junior welterweight prospect Jonathan Navarro (17-0, 9 KOs), 24, of Los Angeles, will face an opponent to be determined.
Navarro had been scheduled to fight Mexico’s Pablo Cesar Cano (33-7-1, 23 KOs) in a 12-rounder on the DAZN undercard of Golden Boy Promotions’ Vergil Ortiz Jr.-Maurice Hooker undercard this past Saturday night at dikkies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas. However, Cano was forced to withdraw on short notice due to a non-Covid-19 illness and the fight was canceled, but Golden Boy and manager Rick Mirigian were able to secure him a spot on the Ring City USA card.
