Jalil Hackett will face Jose Roman in a rematch to WBA Continental North America certainty on Saturday, March 15 at Caribe Royale in Orlando, live on Worldwide on Dazn, because the next additions to the unsuccessful card are created where Austin ‘Amo’ Amo ‘Williams Williams headers against Williams against the headlines Patrice Volny, Edgar Berlanga returns to Action, and the Olympic medalist in the US team Omari Jones debuts in a professional debut.

Roman and Hackett met in Puerto Rico in December, where Roman passed Hackett our parting decision to accept the title. Roman (14-1 6 KO) hosted Hackett (9-1 7 KO) at home at their first meeting, and now Puerto Rican passes through the ropes in America for the fifth time in his rematch, as a 21-year-old star Hackett wants to take revenge immediately and leave the title.

“The camp was amazing for this fight and I’m more ready than ever,” said Roman. “They made a gigantic mistake, thinking that I was an” average warrior “. I was a champion of many domestic people who represented Puerto Rico around the world, and in 2016 I was only one fight with the Olympic! For the first time he was not a blow of happiness and on March 15 I will prove that I am a better warrior. I am looking forward to greater and better opportunities with God’s blessing when he beat him again. “

“On March 15 I will not only recover the belt, but I restore as one of the best newborn boxers in sport,” said Hackett.

Another fight for the title was added to the card, Jamaine Ortiz defends its super-league WBA Continental USA against Yomar Alamo. Ortiz (18-2-1 9 KO) landed in November at Caribe Royale with an impressive victory in the fourth round over Cristian Mino, his first fight in action after taking Teofimo Lopez for the title of WBO in Las Vegas in February. Alamo Puerto Rico (22-3-1 13 KO) continues testing fighters in 140 pounds and add orthiza to the CV, which contains the last battles with the king of Ibf Richardson Hitchins and the man he defeated to win the title, Liam Paro.

“I am excited that I can start a journey to fight Yomar Alamo in 2025, who is a unsafe warrior,” said Ortiz. “It is always an honor to go to the ring and I could not be more excited to show my skills for my fans in Dazna.

“Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando will be illuminated on the night of fighting and I am ready to bring heat. This year I am focused and hungry for success, and on March 15 this is just the beginning of what is to come! “

“This is a great opportunity for my career,” Alamo said. “Ortiz is a great warrior. We are prepared for everything it brings. It will be a great victory for me. This is a magical time! “

Further additions to the card announced today can see that Puerto Rican Teen Talent Carlos de Leon (3-0 2 KO) is fighting in paid ranks for the fourth time in four rounds in Super Feather, and “Pretty Boy” Pedro Valdez (8-0 7 Kos) Meet Mauro Maximiliano Godoy (37-10-1 18 KO) in eight rounds in weight welterweight.

These undercard additions boost the great night in Sunshine, where the “Ammo” claimant “Ammunition” wants to continue his pursuit of a mixture for the main battles. Williams (17-1 12 KO) has been reflected in the 12th victory in paid ranks in Philadelphia in November after a brave show against balmy British Hamzah Sheeraz in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in June.

“Ammo” is with hand in the 6th position from WBC, #7 from WBA and No. 9 from IBF, and Texan Southpaw will look for an impressive victory to take a gigantic step towards ensuring more massive fights for 160 pounds.

Volni (19-1 13 KO) will have other ideas, and the Canadian will be full of confidence when he enters the fight against KO’s victory with his countryman and former contender to the title of the world of Steven Butler in his hometown of Montreal Hometown.

Jones added a bronze medal from the Paris 2024 Games to the silver medal, which he won at the World Championships in 2021 in Belgrade, Serbia, and after the shiny amateur career of Orlando Starlet, who completed Valencia College in Orlando with a general level that he debuts in his pro Hand, and the Italian Alessio Mastronunzio (14-5 4 KO) will be the first man to test Jones in the Ring.

Berlanga (22-1 17 KO) returned, and Puerto Rican-Fresh Yorker will want to resist his thrilling exhibition against the legend of Punish Canelo Alvarez when he faces Jonathan Gonzalezem-Ortrizem (20-0-1 16 KO). “The Chosen One” went to a distance with the Mexican superstar in Las Vegas in September, and the 27-year-old will want to go to the position to get the second arrows at the world title and can recover the title of Super-Middle in the weight of WBO WBO earlier he had over ten earlier rounds against a friend from Puerto Rican.

Zab Judah's Final Prediction on Rolly Romero vs Teofimo Lopez: The Impact of KOing Sparring Partners

Zab Judah has made a bold prediction ahead of tonight’s world title battle between Rolly Romero and Teofimo Lopez.

Romero defends his WBA welterweight title against Lopez at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas this evening, competing for the first time since his unanimous decision victory over Ryan Garcia in May 2025.

Lopez is attempting to become a three-division world champion after previously holding world honours at lightweight and super-lightweight, but his reign at 140lbs came to an end in January when he lost his WBO crown to Shakur Stevenson.

One man who knows what it is like to be world champion at both 140lbs and 147lbs is Judah, who notably became undisputed at welterweight back in 2005.

Speaking to MillCity BoxingJudah revealed that he is backing Romero to claim the upset victory tonight and successfully defend his belt against Lopez.

“In the past when we’ve seen Rolly in preparation for a fight, he was always on the internet saying crazy s**t, doing crazy things, this time we don’t see any of that. He’s locked in, he’s training, and I predict that Rolly Romero is going to beat Teofimo Lopez.

“From what I’ve been hearing about him in training, he’s been doing good and knocking people out.”

The winner of tonight’s bout has already been linked to a unification fight against the victor of the upcoming WBC welterweight title fight between Ryan Garcia and Conor Benn, while there are also possible match-ups with WBO champion Devin Haney or IBF champion Liam Paro.

Antonio Tarver Predicts Rolly Romero vs Teofimo Lopez Winner: He Has the Attributes to Beat Him

Antonio Tarver Predicts Rolly Romero vs Teofimo Lopez Winner: "He Has the Attributes to Beat Him"

Former undisputed champion Antonio Tarver has considered the keys to victory, while also offering a prediction, for both Teofimo Lopez and Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero.

The pair will collide at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena in the early hours of tomorrow morning, with Romero making a first defence of his WBA world title.

He was upgraded to full welterweight champion last year, having claimed the ‘regular’ belt by dropping and unanimously outpointing Ryan Garcia in May 2025.

After that, Rolly had been in talks with Devin Haney and Conor Benn, only to incur over a year of inactivity and agree to face Lopez instead.

Entering their showdown as a slight favourite, ‘The Takeover’ has moved up to 147lbs and is bidding to become a three-weight world champion.

Unlike Romero, though, Lopez is coming off a surprisingly one-sided points defeat to Shakur Stevensonwho dethroned him for the WBO super-lightweight title in January.

It is therefore difficult to predict which version of the 29-year-old will turn up, yet Hall of Famer Tarver has nonetheless told Fight Hub TV that he is backing Lopez.

“[it will be] high volume if Teo looks to win this thing impressively. He’s going to have to let his hands go, and Rolly’s going to have to try and catch him in the mix of all that.

“I don’t think Rolly can outbox Teo round after round; I think Rolly has to do something big – hurt him with something, knock him down and maybe even stop him.

“Smart money [is on Lopez]. It’s difficult to have your way with [Romero]; you have to be somewhat of a real, elite fighter. We still believe Teo, at his best, has those types of attributes.”

Many would agree that a points decision is Lopez’ clearest route to victory, while Romero may need to make use of his power and engineer an inside-the-distance finish.
