Pedroza, soaked in the legacy of Panamanian boxing legend Roberto Duran, acknowledged Cardenas’ prowess but remained confident, “Every bout sharpens my spirit and physique. While I respect Cardenas, my sight is set on a performance that demands a recall to the American ring.”

Reflecting on his earlier SHOWTIME experience, Rojas expressed his eagerness and respect for Bustos, especially given Bustos’ association with legendary coach Freddie Roach. Bustos reciprocated the sentiment, hinting at a strategy focusing on Rojas’ height.
