On July 12th, the Save Mart Center in Fresno, California, will host an exciting night of international boxing presented by Promobox TV and El Mexicano. This event promises high-stakes battles, title implications, and a mix of styles that boxing fans won’t want to miss.
The spotlight shines on the super middleweight clash between Lester Martinez and Pierre Dibombe, but the night also features a WBC eliminator between Erick Badillo and Gerardo Zapata, as well as a compelling super welterweight bout between Vladimir Hernandez and Francisco Daniel Verón. With rising stars and seasoned veterans on the card, this event offers something for every fight fan.
Martinez vs. Dibombe: Power Meets Experience in Super Middleweight
The main event showcases undefeated Guatemalan Lester Martinez (19-0, 16 KOs), a powerful puncher known for controlling the center of the ring and ending fights early. Martinez is coming off an impressive knockout victory in March and is quickly climbing the super middleweight rankings.
Facing him is French veteran Pierre Dibombe (22-2-1, 12 KOs), a technically skilled boxer with greater ring experience. Dibombe relies on defensive savvy and ring generalship, aiming to disrupt Martinez’s aggressive style and take the fight into the later rounds.
This matchup promises a classic showdown between a relentless power puncher and a tactical, seasoned boxer. With a regional super middleweight title on the line, the stakes couldn’t be higher for both fighters.
Badillo vs. Zapata: WBC Eliminator in Light Flyweight
The co-main event features a high-stakes WBC eliminator at light flyweight (108 lbs) between undefeated Erick Badillo (17-0, 8 KOs) and experienced southpaw Gerardo Zapata (15-2-1, 5 KOs).
Badillo is a young, aggressive fighter with solid knockout power, looking to establish himself as a top contender. Zapata brings veteran savvy and defensive skills, using his southpaw stance to complicate his opponents’ strategies.
This battle of styles—aggression vs. experience—will be crucial for the winner’s path toward a world title shot.
Hernandez vs. Verón: Young Power vs. Veteran Technique in Super Welterweight
Also featured is the super welterweight clash between Stockton’s Vladimir Hernandez (17-6, 7 KOs) and Argentina’s Francisco Daniel Verón (14-1-1, 10 KOs).
Hernandez is a tough, technical southpaw who’s faced tough opponents and never shies away from a fight. Verón is a rising star with notable knockout power and youth on his side, eager to make his mark in the U.S. boxing scene.
Expect a fast-paced contest where Verón will try to impose his power early, while Hernandez will rely on ring IQ and movement to neutralize the threat.
