Trevor McCumby (28-1, 21 food) returns to the ring today after suffering his first defeat to Caleb plant on the Canelo Alvarez-Edgar Berlanga Undercard in September last year. He is prepared and ready to challenge the young Lion, Diego Pacheco (23-0, 18 COs).

It will be his most difficult opponent so far. Plant had that designation, but it was replaced by Pacheco because of its age, size and skill. At 6’4 and with an arm’s length of 79 inches, its large size would pose a difficult challenge for everyone. Pacheco has a 5-inch benefit above McCumby.
“Man, it’s going to be a wonderful battle. My hands will be raised at the end. I can’t say what’s going to happen. How he’s going to get out, how I’m going to get out, because you know we’re … we’re just going to go out and see what he’s bringing. But you know, I’ve had the hardest training camp in my entire life. Caleb fighter. Fight, I couldn’t say that I really did everything.
“I was just very spiritual. I know I’m the best version of myself, ‘McCumby said when I was asked about his fight with Pacheco.
In his match against planting he was very competitive, he achieved a knockout and won the early rounds. His conditioning did not allow him to complete the battle, and he eventually succumbed to the offensive attack of the plant. He wants to get back on the winning path.
When weighing yesterday, he looked in phenomenal form. His improved physique can be attributed to new strength and conditioning coach Rachel Donaire, wife of former four-division champion Nonito Donaire. A revitalized McCumby is dangerous and can take a difficult night for Pacheco if he is not fully prepared for a hungry fighter prepared for everything.
“I’m an action -packed fighter, and that’s what I do. I want the fans to get their money worth and make sure they go home and say: Man, that man is a fighter and he is a very big fighter, and I would love to see him again, ‘McCumby says of his fighting style.
McCumby is willing to go out on his shield; He knows the importance of this struggle and how it can drive his career with a victory. Regardless of the result, McCumby showed a warrior spirit. In his fight against planting in the T-Mobile Arena, many people remember that the fight of the night is fighting because of both fighters’ back and forth. It should be no different. Both Pacheco and McCumby would like to fight in the bag and need to provide an action -packed battle.
