Owner of wins over Gabriel Tolmajyan and Aaron Garcia, Lopez is looking forward to his next challenge against Jorge Diaz.
Hailing from New Brunswick, New Jersey, Jorge “King” Diaz is looking to start of 2015 of the right track with a win under his belt. The fighter most recently faced Luis Rosa, Ramon Ellis and Jose Haro in 2014. A professional since 2007, Diaz remained busy and kept up his undefeated status until 2010. He is hoping to get back on track in this new chapter of his career when he takes on the undefeated Los Angeles native, Abraham Lopez.
Popular East LA prospect Roy “Pitbull” Tapia made his first LA FIGHT CLUB appearance in March 2015, winning a hard-fought decision over Ali Gonzalez that kept his unbeaten record intact. On August 6, the 23-year-old super bantamweight wants to start a new knockout streak and he promises that Juan Hernandez will be in for a rough battle.
