Born of Puerto Rican descent, the 26-year-old Gonzalez is a man of many talents in the ring, which were showcased during his recent wins over Noel Echevarria and Victor Sanchez.
 
Hailing from the fighting city of Philadelphia, 23-year-old Tevin “American Idol” Farmer (15-4-1, 3 KOs) has a wide array of skills that he can use in the ring and with eight consecutive wins to his name, he’s on the fast track to big things at 130 pounds. With seven straight wins during a busy 2013 campaign, Farmer kicked off 2014 with a win over Noel Echevarria, an opponent he and Gonzalez have in common.
 
Twenty-three-year-old Dublin native Jamie “The Nuisance” Kavanagh (16-1-1, 7 KOs) returns to the ring after an impressive eight round victory over Andres Navarro on March 17 and looks to be back in line to continue his rise up the lightweight ladder.
