Following a knee injury sustained in training by Four-Division Pound-for-Pound Champion Roman ‘Chocolatito’ Gonzalez, former Unified World Champion and #1 ranked Juan Francisco “El Gallo” Estrada, (37-3-0, 25 KO’s), of Sonora, Mexico will now face cross-town Mexican rival Victor ‘Spock’ Mendez, (28-3-2, 20 KOs), also of Sonora, Mexico in a ten-round super-flyweight clash at Undisputed on Saturday, December 8 emanating from the StubHub Center in Carson, CA. The tripleheader will be televised live on HBO Boxing After Dark beginning at 10:20 PM ET/PT.

“It’s unfortunate that Roman suffered this knee injury in training, he was in great shape and very excited to fight again after his ‘Knockout of the Year’ victory on September 15 in Las Vegas,” said Loeffler. “However, Juan Francisco Estrada and Victor Mendez have both been in training for upcoming fights and each eagerly jumped at the opportunity to fight each other.”

“This will be Juan Francisco’s fourth consecutive fight on HBO, the first coming at the StubHub Center at Superfly 1 in his outstanding battle and victory over Carlos Cuadras. He’s fought on every Superfly show and is always in exciting fights which has made him very popular with boxing fans who will be thrilled to see him fight again on December 8.”

Said Estrada, “Everything happens for a reason, my fight fell scheduled in Mexico fell through but now I have a bigger opportunity on HBO. I’ve had a great training camp and can’t wait to fight Victor Mendez. We’ve known each other for years and now get to settle who is the best super flyweight from Mexico.”

“Juan Francisco Estrada is a great champion and I’ve wanted to fight him for a long time,” said the 25-year-old Mendez. “I’ve heard many great things about the outstanding battles and great fans at the StubHub Center and look forward to fighting there on December 8 and on HBO.”

Estrada is currently world ranked #1 by Ring Magazine and #2 by ESPN. He is also world ranked #1 by the World Boxing Council.

The 28-year-old Estrada is coming off a dominant 12-round decision over Felipe Orucuta on September 8 at Superfly 3. Prior to that, the 28-year-old Estrada challenged WBC Super Flyweight World Champion Srisaket Sor Rungvisai on February 24 at Superfly 2, losing a hotly contested 12-round majority decision in a sure-fire ‘Fight of the Year’ candidate that had the huge crowd at the Forum in Inglewood, CA on their feet cheering throughout. Both fights were featured as the main event on HBO’s Boxing After Dark.

Mendez has won nine of his last ten bouts including his last four in a row. Most recently he knocked out Alberto Ascanio in the third round on June 1, 2018. In 2014, he battled current world champion Luis Nery in an eight-round clash losing by very close majority decision.

Undisputed is headlined by ‘The First Lady’ Cecilia Braekhus (34-0, 9 KOs), defending her titles against two-time world title challenger, Aleksandra Magdziak-Lopes, (18-4-3, 1 KO), a native of Gilwice, Poland, now based in Marshfield, MA in the televised ten-round main event. Magdziak-Lopes also holds a victory over Braekhus’ recent opponent Kali Reis.

Opening the HBO Boxing After Dark telecast, two-time United States Olympic Gold Medalist and Claressa Shields, (7-0, 2 KOs), of Flint, MI faces WBO Women’s Super-Middleweight World Champion Femke Hermans, (9-1, 3 KOs), of Londerzeel, Belgium in a ten-round middleweight world title clash.

The official weigh-in on Friday, December 7, 2018 is ‘Open to the Public’ starting at 12:00 p.m. PST at the Sheraton Gateway Los Angeles Hotel, 6101 W. Century Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90045 in the Gateway Ballrooms A and F.

UNDISPUTED marks the last HBO boxing telecast of their illustrious 45-year history. Cecilia Braekhus fought in their first telecast of women’s boxing on May 5, 2018 and will headline in their final telecast this Saturday, December 8, 2018 against Aleksandra Madgziak-Lopes. Defeating Kali Reis by on May 5 by unanimous decision at the StubHub Center in Carson, CA, the fight was telecast to an average of 904,000 viewers in the United States, the second highest viewership by the network for boxing in 2018. Lopes holds a win over Kali Reis and is definitely up for the challenge to take the titles away from Braekhus.

If Braekhus is successful on December 8, this will be her 24th consecutive world title defense and her ninth consecutive defense of her UNDISPUTED world titles (WBC, WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO). Braekhus first became a world champion on March 13, 2009 by defeating Vinni Skovgaard for the vacant WBC and WBA Welterweight World Titles. On September 13, 2014 she earned the title ‘UNDISPUTED Welterweight World Champion’ by defeating Ivana Habazin.

Headlining the undercard, Southern California fan favorite Louisa ‘Bang Bang Lulu’ Hawton, (8-2-0, 4 KOs), of Perth, Australia will face Lorraine Villalobos, (2-1-0) of Los Angeles in a WBC Atomweight Title bout. In her last fight Hawton clashed with Brenda Flores at SUPERFLY 3 on September 8, 2018 at the Forum in Los Angeles losing a very close and controversially scored decision in the world title fight for which the WBC ordered an immediate rematch. The previously announced rematch for December 8 has been postponed due to a recent illness suffered by Flores.

Also appearing on the undercard, super lightweights Mario Ramos, (6-0, 6 KOs), of San Diego, CA faces Elliott Brown, (2-5, 2 KOs), of Erie, Pennsylvania in a six-round clash.

Super featherweight Shokichi Iwata of Tokyo, Japan will make his highly anticipated pro debut against Joel Bermudez, (0-1), of Los Angeles CA in a four-round battle.

Eric Puente of Vista, CA will make his professional debut against Enrique Alamada, (1-1), of Sonora, Mexico over four rounds in the lightweight division.

Opening the card In the super-flyweight division Chris Zavala, (2-0, 1 KO), of Bellflower, CA will face Luis Perez Salas, (5-2-2, 2KOs), of Puebla, Mexico in a scheduled four rounder.

HBO should have just closed up shop after Jacobs/Chenko, this card is an embarrassing note to go out on
