Ramon Cardenas, of San Antonio, said his second-round KO of Rafael Pedroza in the main event of a Showtime-televised card was a "star-making performance." It certainly did change a lot of things for the 28-year-old. It put the 122-pound division on notice, it moved the Alamo City native's record to 23-1 (12). It put him firmly in the world title picture and made him the leader in the clubhouse to be the next world champion from the 210. That sensational victory also set up his next fight. Cardenas will again hit the road and head to Florida, a state that he has fought in twice before and has gone 2-0 (1),and take on Israel Rodriguez Picazo in the main event of a Friday, February 16th, PROBOV TV card at the Whitesand’s Event Center in Plant City, Florida. Picazo, of Mexico City, Mexico, sports a 30-5 (20) record. Picazo dropped a decision to Mauricio Lara in 2016 and has won 15 fights in a row since his last loss, a 2019 points loss to Eduardo Baez in Mexico. Cardenas is currently ranked #6 by the WBA in the Super Bantamweight division. The Texan says he can still make 118 pounds if a world title shot becomes available at the weight class.
