'Pre-Fight Skinny'

Jesus Esparragoza {Age; 21 years, 10 months} is a power-pack fighter, who
comes straight in at his opponents and slams away with vicious body punches.

A 3-year Professional, Jesus is highly-touted and is slighty favored in this
12-Round WBA Elimination bout.

Jesus scored his biggest win by destroying {KO 2} #7 WBC-ranked - Raul Tirado
back on March 6, 1977.

Jesus has also defeated quality opponents in;
* W Dec 10 > Carlos Osorio
* W Dec 10 > Tarcisio Gomez
* W Dec 10 > Sigifredo Moreno

Hector Carrasquilla {Age; 17 years, 3 months} is the 'Panamanian Wunderkind'.

A tall and lean fast-handed fighter, with unreal and expolosive power in his fists.

The youngster has only been a Professional for 16-Months, but has already been
proclaimed as a future great fighter, despite never facing a World-Class opponent.

In Hector's 10-Bouts, he has KO'd his opponent in either the 1st or 2nd Round in
'9' of the bouts, and scored a 7th Round TKO in the other.

He has only '25-Rounds' of Professional Ring experience.
