Hailing from Cancun, Mexico, Luis Sanchez made a strong professional debut in July 2011, winning his first bout against Alejandro Rodriguez in Yucatan, Mexico. He continued to keep an undefeated status while accumulating eight more wins before facing tough opponent Winston Campos who beat him with a technical knock out in April 2012. Sanchez has racked up an impressive record boasting recent wins over Adan Mares and Alfonso Torres in 2015, and in 2014, over Miguel Beltran Jr., Adrian Padron, Jesus Cruz Bibiano, and Luis Gonzalez.

Born in Trenton Michigan, but now residing in Biloxi, Mississippi, Tom Howard rose through the amateur ranks winning the Alabama Golden Gloves tournament. Howard made his professional debut in September 2012 defeating Philip Soriano. After experiencing his first pro loss in his second fight against Donald Ward, Howard won his next seven fights. His most recent two fights against Todd Manuel and Eric Bossler resulted in losses, and on July 11, Howard will return to the ring eager to claim his first victory in 2015.

Zachary Ochoa, the 23-year-old fighter hailing from Brooklyn, New York, has already accrued an impressive record staying undefeated since his professional debut at the age of 19 in 2011. One of the most promising prospects in the sweet science today, Ochoa has continuously triumphed over formidable opponents, boasting recent wins over Moises Rios, Engelberto Valenzuela, Jose Miguel Castro, and Luis Alberto Cervantes.
