Cruz (4-0, 2 KO) and Salcido (20-1, 14 KO) will fight in a 10-round lightweight title eliminator for the WBC belt. This fight should be the main event, but Hearn is pushing Pacheco (22-0, 18 KOs) to become a star as soon as possible.
“It’s time to fight. The conversation is not important. It’s time to perform,” Steven Nelson said after weighing on Friday for his fight against Diego Pacheco on Saturday night. “My focus and my determination. There is nothing I haven’t seen. I saw everything I needed to in the camp.
“He is young. He didn’t see. He can’t prepare for what I bring him. It’s going to be an amazing night for it to be so cold. You have seen the cold front. It disappeared all over the country. Such cold weather, baby,” Nelson said.
“I’m just ready to go. I’m excited for this fight. I hope Steven Nelson is ready for what’s to come tomorrow night. It’s a DP show. If he doesn’t know, he will fight,” said Diego Pacheco. “Steven Nelson is a good fighter, but he’s never been with anyone like me. i promise You will see tomorrow.
“I have prepared as if this is the last fight of my life and I am ready to go and put on another great performance for all my people. Definitely, and I didn’t come this far just to come this far. I’m not letting anyone take this from me. This is the DP era, and I’m here to stay. I’m showing that I belong to the elite and it’s time to go,” said Diego.
