San Antonio super bantamweight Ramon “Dinamita” Cardenas (27-2 with 15 KOs) will face Panama's Leonardo Carrillo (20-1-1 with 9 KOs) in one of three new ten-round televised fights added to ProBoxTV’s broadcast (7:30 PM ET/4:30 PM PT) on Saturday, August 29 from the Galen Center in Los Angeles. Also added to The Contender Series portion of the show will be a ten-round lightweight battle between Luis “Koreano” Torres Valenzuela (22-1 with 13 KOs) and Jordan “Shortdog” White (20-2 with 12 KOs). Additionally, Filipino knockout artist Weljon Mindoro (17-0-1 with 16 KOs) will take on three-time world title challenger Carlos Ocampo (38-4, 26 KOs) of Mexico.
All three additional fights will support of WBC interim super middleweight champion Lester Martinez defending his belt for the first time against Luka “The Thunder” Plantic in the night’s twelve-round main event. Light heavyweight Najee Lopez (16-0, 13 KOs), takes on Colombia's Juan Carrillo (15-0, 11 KOs), in the co-feature. Tickets will be available for purchase on July 15.
Cardenas rose to prominence in May of last year by putting up a brave stand while challenging unified world super-bantamweight champion Naoya Inoue. He was able to drop Inoue in round two before being dropped in round seven and stopped in round eight. Age 30, Cardenas was last seen knocking out Mexico’s Erik Robles with one punch in round five back in December of last year. It was Cardenas’ fourth appearance on ProBoxTV.
Carrillo, originally from El Copey, Colombia, is an eleven-year pro who will be making his United States debut that night. Carrillo’s only loss came to Mukhammad Shekhov by unanimous decision in 2023. The 33 year-old Carrillo has won three consecutive fights since, most recently, a unanimous ten-round decision over then 15-3-1 Luis Robles Pacheco in May 2025.
