Unbeaten WBO #1, WBC #4, IBF #4, WBA #13 super middleweight Diego Pacheco (21-0, 17 KOs) is intent on making a statement by becoming the first man to knock out Maciej Sulecki (32-2, 12 KOs) when he takes on the rugged Pole at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Los Angeles on Saturday night, live worldwide on DAZN.
“Maciej is a veteran, he’s been in some tough fights, and he’s fought good champions,” said Pacheco. “I’m just looking forward to adding him to my resume. He’s another guy that’s looking to take this away from me, but I’ve put the work in, I have God on my side, and that’s all that matters. With the work, the talent and support that I have, there’s nothing that can stop me.
“Maciej has had harder fights than my other opponents. He’s boxed some great fighters, and he’s fought for a world title, and he’s beaten a lot of good fighters too. So, we won’t know until I’m in the ring with him if he’s my toughest fight, but I’m treating this fight like it’s my last fight and I’m ready for the best of him.
“I’m a special fighter. All respect to Jacobs and Andrade, but I think that stylistically, I’m more of a power-puncher, I’m a better counterpuncher, I just have it all. I can work inside and go to the body, I can outbox my opponents to frustrate them and get them to open up, it’s just a matter of how the fight goes, I’m ready for whatever he brings, and I believe I’ll get the knockout.
“I don’t like to do too much studying, because you can study, and study, and study, and then on fight night you meet something completely different. I prefer to adjust when I’m in there, so we’ll see what he brings on Saturday.”
Let’s do it Pacheco !!!
I will be there Saturday, of course. Love the the So Cal boxing scene; there are multiple shows every week. Wish I would’ve fought out here back in the day.
154 becoming one of the most stacked weight classes in boxing.
Pacheco is a 168-pound fighter, and yes, 154 is a minefield, so is 168, despite Benavidez not being there any more.
I was at Pacheco’s previous fight in April & was impressed.
You have any other off topic weight division news to share?
How did he get God on his side? Seems like somewhat unfair advantage.
Sulecki should lodge a complaint! Seems unfair.
If victories favor both fighters, it appears Pacheco will eventually engage in a good scrap against Munguia.
I eliminated Mbilli because I believe the styles of Pacheco and Munguia would cause major havoc to him.
While some fighters go looking for tough fights that p#$sy Canelo Alvarez just looks for safe plays.
