Fight Outlook

This is a homecoming showcase for Eduardo Núñez — his first defense of the IBF super featherweight title in front of a Los Mochis crowd. Expect him to press from the opening bell, using his jab and straight right to back Díaz up. The Puerto Rican challenger will need to weather the early storm, clinch, and counter to extend the fight. If Núñez’s power translates as expected, a mid‑round stoppage is the likeliest outcome.
