Ex-champ Gutierrez fights in lightweight eliminator

Ex-130-pound champ Roger Gutiérrez of Venezuela and Canada’s Lucas Bahdi will lock horns this Saturday in Orlando, Florida in a WBA lightweight title eliminator. [The current WBA lightweight champion is the extremely inaqctive Gervonta "Tank" Davis]. The bout is part of the card set to unfold at the Caribe Royale Hotel, promoted by MVP Promotions, and it carries major implications for both men. Bahdi is enjoying the finest run of his career. At 31 years old, he’s coming off a streak of three consecutive victories over previously unbeaten opponents, performances that vaulted him into this crucial eliminator. Across the ring will stand Gutiérrez, the former WBA junior lightweight champion. The 30-year-old “Kid” has been riding a two-fight win streak, leaning on his experience and proven pedigree. For him, victory on Saturday would mark a return to the elite level of the sport. Bahdi enters with an unblemished record of 19-0, with 15 of those wins coming by knockout. Gutiérrez brings veteran numbers to the table: 29 victories, 6 defeats, 1 draw, and 22 wins by stoppage.
