On Saturday, August 7, the Armory in Minneapolis, Minnesota, will host a PBC fight card which will be televised on FOX. The headliner is a showdown between unbeaten super welterweight contenders Gabriel Maestre (3-0, 3 KOs) and Cody Crowley (19-0, 9 KOs).
Maestre, from Barcelona, Venezuela, turned pro in 2019 after a decorated amateur career. The Venezuelan represented his country in the 2012 and 2016 Olympics and other international competitions. Crowley is coming off a one-sided decision over Josh Torres at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.
This is a pretty decent fight actually. Kind of surprised no one has attached “eliminator” or “interim” to it, but I guess they still have a few weeks to sort that out.
With Charlo/Castiano happening thing’s are looking prety locked up @ 154, so it would be nice if Cody get’s the win & a fight with Tim Tszyu for the Commonwealth title can be arranged as a final World title eliminator.
The winner definitely will be up in the rankings! Both these fighters will be making noise in coming years this is gonna be a crazy fight!
