Diego Pacheco (24-0, 18 KOs) takes on Kevin Lele Sadjo (26-0, 23 KOs) this Saturday, December 13, in the 12-round main event at the Stockton Arena, Stockton.
Pacheco vs. Sadjo is a Matchroom promoted card on DAZN. The WBC Silver and WBO International super middleweight titles will be up for grabs. Much is at stake for both undefeated contenders as they need a win to push them up the rankings and into position for a title shot.
The event will be shown live on DAZN starting at 8:00 PM ET / 5:00 PM PT.
Despite winning twice in 2025, the 24-year-old Pacheco has slipped down the rankings, replaced by Canelo Alvarez and Hamzah Sheeraz. Some see it as more political. Canelo is coming off a loss so he shouldn’t be #1 by the WBA, WBC and WBO. Sheeraz has only fought once at 168 against Edgar Berlanga. Need I say more?
Associate Principal: Flores Jr. vs Cordina
In the co-feature on the card, Gabriel Flores Jr. (27-2, 8 KOs) of Stockton against former IBF super featherweight champion Joe Cordina (18-1, 9 KOs) in a 12-round bout for the WBO International 135-lb title.
Flores has won his last six fights in a lengthy rebuild after losing to Giovanni Cabrera by a one-sided 10-round unanimous decision in July 2022. Former amateur star Flores hasn’t looked the same since losing to Luis Alberto Lopez by a 10-round unanimous decision in September 2021. his game He doesn’t have the strength and the chin to be a top level fighter at 135.
This battle probably doesn’t belong in the main support slot. The 34-year-old Cordina was knocked out by Anthony Cacaces in the eighth round in May 2024, and has fought just once since then, beating unheralded Jaret Gonzalez Quiroz by a 10-round unanimous decision in July of last year. He didn’t look good against Quiroz.
The one-hit wonder Cordina hasn’t done enough at 135 for him to be considered main support material, and he’s not young, close to 35.
Mercado-Moran Sleeper Fight
What many fans see as the gem on Saturday’s card is light welterweight contender Ernesto Mercado (17-0, 16 KOs), who faces Antonio Moran (31-7-1, 21 KOs).
The 24-year-old Mercado is coming off an 11-month layoff since knocking out former two-division world champion Jose Pedraza in the fourth round in January 2025. If Mercado had been busier, he probably would have been the co-feature, as he is certainly the most talented fighter on this card by far in Ken Woods’ eyes.
