Top Rank on Tuesday announced a massive undercard for the junior welterweight world championship unification bout between Terence Crawford and Viktor Postol. The event will be televised live on HBO pay-per-view from MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on July 23 starting at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT.
Preceding the Ramirez-Britsch clash will be Oscar Valdez taking on Matias Rueda for the vacant WBO featherweight world title. Valdez (20-0, 17 KOs) represented Mexico in the 2008 and 2012 Olympics and has looked sensational since turning pro.
Rueda (26-0, 23 KOs) is another in a long line of hard-hitting Argentinean bombers. Already a holder of a regional belt, Rueda wants to cash in on his number-two ranking in the WBO.
Opening the PPV telecast will be a 10-round welterweight clash between Jose Benavidez (24-0, 16 Kos) and Francisco Santana (24-4-1, 12 KOs).
