Fidel Maldonado Jr. vs. Amir Imam
Lou Catalano, Senior Writer
This fight could start off the show with some serious fireworks. Amir Imam can bang, and the southpaw Fidel Maldonado certainly doesn’t shy away from violence.
In the end, I’m going with Imam, who seems to be on the path to stardom.
Let’s watch him play Headzo with Jared Robinson again. Imam by KO.
Prediction: Imam

Fidel Maldonado and Amir Imam could perhaps end up stealing the spotlight on Saturday night.
Both guys have immense power. I see them going back and forth, so they will need to be on their best defense. Imam is undefeated, but Maldonado will bring the heat. Maldonado wins.
Prediction: Maldonado

I love the Atrisco Kid! He let’s it all hang out and gives 110 percent each time he’s in the ring. Unfortunately, I think he’s in over his head with the young heavy-hitter, Amir Imam.
Maldonado may have a good start, but as fights wear on he tends to get lackadaisical when it comes to defending. If caught with a clean punch by Imam, it might be an early night for Maldonado.
