Join your fellow fight fans tonight! How to watch Pitbull vs Bravo Start time: 8:00 pm ET Streaming: DAZN (subscription required) Location: Pechanga Arena, San Diego, CA, USA Pitbull vs Bravo running order and lineup Main Event Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz vs Nestor Bravo, super lightweights, 12 rounds, for Cruz’s interim WBC title Preview: Cruz (28-3-2, 18 KO) looks to stay relevant at 140, basically, as he can’t lose this fight and get a good fight next, but if he wins it, yeah, he’ll be attractive for plenty of people, and could force a full WBC title fight with the Dalton Smith vs Alberto Puello winner after their fight on October 24. He could also be lined up to face WBA champ Gary Antuanne Russell. But he has to win here. He’s expected to, but Bravo (24-1, 17 KO) does have advantages in height and reach, and they’re significant. It’s going to come down to whether he can utilize those or not, because Pitbull fights the same, always. He’s tough, he’s hard to beat, and he makes you earn it. Undercard Daniel Blancas vs Sergio Jimenez, super middleweights, 10 rounds Preview: We’ve got BoxRec rankings of 31 (Blancas) and 208 (Jimenez) here. Blancas is 15-0 (7 KO), a 25-year-old Milwaukee native who scored a decent win over Raul Salomon last time out on May 2, and has been inching along as a pro. Jimenez (17-1-1, 15 KO) is a 39-year-old Mexicali-born fighter who had his pro debut at age 33 in 2021, and went to a six-round draw against a fella who came in with a record of 8-56-2. He’s done OK since then, but he’s fought at very, very low levels, other than a 10-round loss to Deon Nicholson in 2024. On the sheet, this looks like a pretty wack mismatch propped up by one guy’s paper-thin record. Marco Verde vs Guillermo Hernandez, middleweights, 10 rounds Preview: Verde (6-0, 3 KO) won a silver medal for Mexico at the 2024 Olympics in Paris, falling short in the final against Asadkhuja Muydinkhujaev of Uzbekistan, who are among the big daddies in modern amateur boxing. Verde represented his country wonderfully, but he hasn’t exactly been blowing anyone’s doors off since turning pro in May 2025, and it’s not like he’s been matched aggressively or something. He’s beating people handily and clean without debate, but anyone would want to see more for an Olympic silver medalist. But maybe that’s just not him. Hernandez (7-0, 4 KO) is a 30-year-old from Calgary nicknamed “The Warrior,” which is staggeringly generic. He won three fights in El Salvador, one in Colombia, one in his hometown of Calgary, and two club-level fights in Mexico. These are places where you can pad/build a record pretty easily. Eumir Marcial vs Omar Huerta, middleweights, 10 rounds Preview: Marcial (7-0, 4 KO) was once given a bit of hype as a possible Next Great Hope out of the Philippines, but the 30-year-old also hasn’t really impressed since turning pro in late 2020. He won bronze at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. He also plays basketball for the Basilan Steel of the MPBL in the Philippines, so he’s just like Manny Pacquiao other than all the achievements or accomplishments past that bronze medal. Huerta (15-1-1, 13 KO) is a local, 0-1-1 in his last two, including a shutout loss to Vito Mielnicki Jr last time out in April.
