BoxingScene.com has been advised that the card, which will be broadcast on HBO Latino, will also feature Orlandito Del Valle (18-1) against Luis Rosa (16-0) in an all Puerto Rican showdown.  Del Valle is from Bayamon while Rosa resides in Connecticut by way of Caguas.

The card is a four man single elimination super bantamweight tournament.  The winners of both fights will face each other later this year.
