ProBox TV is at it again this Wednesday, turning what’s usually a dull night of TV reruns into a veritable fisticuff fiesta down in the exotic locale of Plant City, Florida. Yes, you heard that right – where else would you expect a pair of featherweight fighters to duke it out than in a place named after flora?
Angelo Leo, the Las Vegas virtuoso with a record (23-1) almost as shiny as the city’s lights, hit the scales at a solid 125.8 lbs, all prepped and primed for a scuffle. Eduardo Baez, his challenger, is bringing a slightly leaner 125.4 lbs to the fray, alongside a record that tells tales of battles won and lost (23-5-2).
Leo is currently riding the high of a hat-trick of wins, with his last couple of escapades broadcast for the viewing pleasure of ProBox TV’s esteemed audience. Currently ranked as the seventh wonder of the WBA world and 13th with IBF, Leo’s not just here for a laugh – he’s on a quest for glory across the weight classes.
Baez, not to be overshadowed, has fought Emanuel Navarrete for the WBO featherweight belt and has emerged from a bit of a tumble in the rankings with a spring in his step, marking two victories in 2023.
Odds and Sods in the Betting World: The bookies have spoken, crowning Leo the belle of the ball at -700, while Baez struts in as the plucky underdog at +450, courtesy of the number crunchers at SportsBetting.AG.
And because no bout is complete without the dulcet tones of men who’ve been there and punched that, the legendary trio of Paulie Malignaggi, Chris Algieri, and Juan Manuel Marquez will be serenading us with commentary in English and Spanish.
