Guasave's Mario "Dragoncito" Rodriguez (11-6-4, 7 KO's) always comes to fight and that attitude has made him a fan favorite in his home country. A hard-hitting competitor with an exciting style, Rodriguez challenged Donnie Nietes for the WBO title last August, falling short of victory via decision. Following that bout, he fought to a draw with Pedro Guevara in May, but two months later, he won the vacant NABF minimum weight crown with a 12-round victory over previously unbeaten Manuel Jimenez. A native of Sahagun, Colombia, 24-year old Karl Diaz (16-2, 12 KO's) is a hot prospect with knockout power who is no stranger to title fights having competed for the WBA Fedebol, WBC Youth Intercontinental and WBC Silver Light Flyweight titles over the course of his three-year career. On October 22, he looks to extend his five-fight winning streak against local favorite Rodriguez. Mazatlan's Pedro "Jibran" Guevara (12-0-1, 8 KO's) has done his city and his country proud thus far in his three year professional career, roaring out to an unbeaten record while showing off the skills that many believe will have him wearing championship gold in the near future. Coming off of a 7-0 year in 2010, Guevara has scored knockouts in his last five victories, and on October 22, the WBC Silver Light Flyweight champion hopes to rebound from a 12 round draw with the tough Mario Rodriguez to add to that streak. Hailing from San Pelayo, Colombia, 22-year-old Jorge Estrada (13-5, 4 KO's) is no stranger to championship action, having already fought for the WBC Youth Intercontinental, WBA Fedecentro and WBA Fedebol titles over the course of his nearly three-year professional career. While he has fallen short of winning a title in the past, with wins in two of his last three bouts, Estrada expects to turn things around by defeating Pedro Guevara.
