The undercard features a group of young talented Massachusetts fighters including Joe McCreedy (5-0, 4 KO's) from Lowell, Tony LaMonica (2-0, 1 KO) from South Boston, Chris McInerny (5-0-1, 4 KO's) from Stoughton, Enrigue Palan (5-0, 4 KO's) and Edwin Rosado (1-1, 1 KO) both from Worcester.

At 122 pounds, Oliver is an up-and-coming Super Bantamweight contender. Since turning pro in September of 2001, the 5-foot-5 southpaw has been battling through the competition in eye-popping fashion. In his most impressive performance to date, he dominated Oscar De La Cruz in a 6-round bout at the Connecticut Convention Center, flooring De La Cruz twice to score a unanimous decision. With a win at Mohegan Sun on October 28th, Oliver could be poised for a world title fight.
