Deontay Wilder is rematching Luis Ortiz at the MGM Grand on Saturday and is pretty highly anticipated given how exciting the first one was, but the PPV undercard features a very solid supporting cast to the big boys.
Opening the PPV is an excellent bantamweight fight between Luis Nery (30-0, 24 KOs) and Emmanuel Rodriguez (19-1, 12 KOs). Luis Nery was once the WBC champion and the top fighter in the weight class but lost it on the scales before his rematch with Shinsuke Yamanaka in 2018 (which he won by KO). After taking a couple of easy fights in Mexico, he’s come over in the US and smashed two solid fighters stateside in McJoe Arroyo and Juan Carlos Payano.
