New opponent for Lazcano

According to the Sacramento Bee, Juan Lazcano (33-3-1, 25 KOs) will face Hernan Galaviz (12-6-1, nine KOs)  Mexico on the Marco Antonio Barrera-Mzonke Fana undercard this Saturday. Galaviz is a new opponent for Lazcano, replacing Justin Juuko.  Still rated #5 by Boxingtalk, Lazcano has been inactive for nine months since losing to Jose Luis Castillo.  Lazcano also told the Sacramento Bee he hopes Diego Corrales defeats Castillo in the upcoming lightweight world championship bout so that Lazcano can get a shot at Corrales. --Scott Shaffer
