Eight-Time National Champion Diego Pacheco in Action Tonight in Tijuana PhilBoxing.com Sun, 24 Feb 2019 NEW YORK (February 23, 2019)-Eight-time national amateur champion and now undefeated professional Diego Pacheco will see action tonight as he takes on fellow undefeated Alberto Aguilar in a middleweight bout at Auditorio Municipal in Tijuana, Mexico. Pacheco of Los Angeles was the number-one middleweight in both the United States and Mexico. Pacheco was a 2017 National Junior Golden Gloves champion, and the 2018 United States Junior Olympic National champion. Pacheco, 17 years-old made his professional debut on December 22nd with a 1st round stoppage over veteran Luis Gonzalez. In Aguilar he is taking on a foe who also is 1-0 with a 1st round knockout to his credit. "Since the amateurs I've been fighting in Tijuana, and it feels great to get back there for my second pro fight," said Pacheco. "I'm tall and I have long reach so I like to keep my distance, but I also like to walk them down. Everyone's told me I hit pretty hard. I feel like I'm a power puncher, but I stay within a distance. I don't like to smother myself." "By the end of this year, I just want to get as much experience as I can. I'm only 17 so there's no rush. Personally, I have a lot of guys that I want to get. I just want to put a good few first fights in and just take over when the time is right, I have a great team around me and we won't be rushed." Pacheco is managed by Split-T Management, and is promoted by Matchroom Boxing. Pacheco's fight with Aguilar will be streamed live on DAZN beginning at 7 PM ET.  |
