Update on Saturday's Mexico City card

Two quality match-ups have been added to Saturday's ESPN broadcast from Mexico City: featherweight Alan David Picasso (13-0 with 5 KOs) battles Florentino "Violento" Pérez (14-5-2 with 9 KOs). Picasso is just nineteen years old. He turned pro in his native Mexico at sixteen and suffered his lone pro loss at seventeen; At junior welterweight, Omar Aguilar (17-0 with 16 KOs) steps up to face experienced gatekeeper Dante "Crazy" Jardón (32-6 with 23 KOs)  over ten rounds. Jardon has won two straight but is best known for a failed 130-pound title bid against Takashi Miuira in 2013. Aguilar, age 21, has been steadily increasing his level of opposition in recent fights. Saturday's main event has WBC 130-pound title holder Miguel Berchelt in a non-title tune-up vs. Eleazar Valenzuela.
