After last month’s first round KO over Lorenzo Trejos, Escalante is now ready to put his title on the line against his most challenging opponent yet. On April 5th Escalante will take on Victor Ruiz 12-2 (9 KOs) for the IBA Continental Junior Bantamweight Title. Victor “Pelon” Ruiz from Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico has knocked out 6 of his last 7 opponents. Victor will be making his United States debut on April 5th at Cache Creek Casino Resort in the beautiful Brooks, CA.

So, Bruno better be ready because he hasn’t faced anybody with the punching power that I have,” said Victor. Paul “El Gallo Negro” Mendez 15-2-2 (7 KOs) will also put his IBA Continental Middleweight Championship Title on the line with an opponent TBD.
