Unbeaten featherweight standout Ruben Villa (12-0, 5 KOs) weighed in successfully at Thursday’s weigh in coming in at 125.8 lbs., while challenger Jose Santos Gonzalez (23-6, 13 KOs) weighed 125.9 lbs.
Villa vs. Gonzalez comprises the 8-round “Locked n’ Loaded” main event originating from Omega Products International in Corona, Calif. this Friday night.
Villa, 21, faces an experienced opponent that has seen action against current bantamweight world champion Zolani Tete.
“We’ll be careful not to fall into any traps,” said Villa during Thursday’s weigh in. “I think he’ll want to fight one specific way and we’ll show him multiple looks to get him off balance.”
