A southpaw wise beyond his years in the ring, Diaz has proven himself more than ready for big things, and on July 20 he hopes to keep his positive momentum going in front of his Southern California fans. Dallas, Texas' Errol Spence Jr. (6-0, 5 KO's) is a gifted southpaw keeping up a torrid pace in the junior middleweight division. Following his appearance at the 2012 Olympics, the 23-year-old turned pro last November at Fantasy Springs and scored two wins before the end of the year. In 2013, the southpaw has added four more victories, including three first round knockouts. A native of Cleveland now making his home in Los Angeles, Terrell Gausha (9-2, 3 KO's) has gotten his professional boxing career off to a strong start after a stellar amateur run that included several titles and a spot on the 2012 U.S. Olympic team. Now showing off his speed and power as a pro, the 25-year-old will look to impress once again on July 20. In a six-round undercard match-up, surging middleweight Angel Osuna (10-3-1, 6 KO's) of Coachella puts his six fight winning streak on the line against Salt Lake City's Christian Nava (2-3-1). Undercard action will also see a four-round junior lightweight battle that will pit Santa Ana's Eric Ituarte (5-0) against LA's Humberto Zatarain (3-1-1) and in a four-round heavyweight opener, Coachella's Alex Rivera makes his professional debut against fellow newcomer C.J. Leveque of Los Angeles.
