This marks the 50th show that Golden Boy Promotions has put on at Fantasy Springs.

PST Caballero, a former IBF Bantamweight World Champion, looked impressive coming back after a long layoff on the inaugural edition of Golden Boy Boxing on ESPN in March, taking a unanimous decision off of a game and rugged Jesus Ruiz. Now, Caballero takes on an undefeated fighter for only the second time in his career. "I've told everyone who will listen that my goal is to regain a world championship belt, and this is another step on that path," Caballero said. "I know my opponent is undefeated, but he's never been in the ring with anyone close to my ability, and I'm confident that I'm going to take his "0" on June 30." Negrete has built a solid resume culminating with a shutout, unanimous decision over Victor Ruiz on Cinco de Mayo weekend in Las Vegas. "I'm excited to compete for my first regional belt, especially on ESPN," Negrete said. "People may overlook me, but after June 30, everyone will know that I am a force in the super bantamweight division." In the co-main event, standout amateur and WBC Youth Super Featherweight Champion Lamont Roach, Jr. (13-0, 5 KOs) of Washington, D.C. will defend his title for the first time against a soon-to-be-named opponent in a 10-round scrap. Hoping to make TV time, heavy-handed Genaro "El Conde" Gamez (4-0, 3 KOs) from San Diego, California, returns to Fantasy Springs for the first time since knocking an opponent clear out of the ring last September. This time, he will take on Miguel Barajas (2-2, 1 KO) from Guadalajara, Mexico in a six-round match-up of super featherweights. On the non-televised portion of the card, lightweight contender Ryan "Blue Chip" Martin (18-0, 11 KOs) of Chattanooga, Tennessee will bring his unblemished record to the desert in an eight-round fight against a soon-to-be-named opponent. Welterweight KeAndre "The Truth" Gibson (16-1-1, 7 KOs) will look to come back from the first loss of his career when he takes on Dennis "The Spartan" Dauti (14-2, 7 KOs) of Naousa, Greece in an eight-round affair. Hot off his professional debut, standout amateur Luis Feliciano (1-0) from Milwaukee, Wisconsin and fighting out of Rancho Cucamonga will be back in action for a six-round super lightweight showdown against Baltazar Ramirez (3-2, 3 KOs) of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. And opening up the card, Philadelphia native Damon "No Smilin" Allen (11-0-1, 5 KOs) will put his undefeated record on the line in an eight-round match-up of lightweights against a soon-to-be-named opponent.
