Alexis Rocha and Raul Curiel Headline December 14th in Ontario

Welterweight stablemates Alexis “Lex” Rocha (25-2-0, 16 KOs) of Santa Ana, California and Mexican Olympian Raul “El Cugar” Curiel (15-0, 13 KOs) training out of Wild Card Gym in Hollywood will headline as they square off in the main event taking place on Saturday, December 14, live from Toyota Arena in Ontario, California live on DAZN.



“The best versus the best is Golden Boy’s mantra and fans will see just that when Rocha and Curiel face off with everything on the table,” said Chairman and CEO Oscar De La Hoya. “Rocha is a veteran contender with his sights set on a world title, Curiel is an undefeated blue-chip prospect with potential through the roof. This is truly a 50/50 fight that I can’t wait to see.”

Rocha is coming off a unanimous decision against the undefeated Santiago Dominguez. For Curiel he scored a first round knockout over Jorge Marron Jr. in his last fight.

“I’ve seen Raul Curiel through the years and not once did he mention my name,” said Alexis Rocha. “After my last loss he was suddenly interested in fighting me. If he thinks I’ve lost a step, or somehow an easy fight now, he’s in for a rude awakening. I look forward to making a statement and showing the world what I’m capable of.”

“The fans can expect a war,” said Raul Curiel. “I am going to prepare well so I can put on a great show. This is going to be the most important fight in my career so far. I know Alexis is a great fighter, a good opponent, and will show up prepared as well. I am focused on Alexis, and if I can beat him, I know that it will open my opportunity to fight for a world championship.”
