Jessie Magdaleno vs. Christopher Diaz - OFF

[Ruthless-RKO]

It looks like both Jessie and Diego Magdaleno will return to the ring in the first quarter of 2019.

Last week BS.com first reported that Diego would face rising lightweight prospect Teofimo Lopez in Frisco, Texas in a bout that will be streamed on the ESPN+ app. The card will be headlined by the Eleider Alvarez-Sergey Kovalev rematch for the WBO light heavyweight title.

Diego has also confirmed that a fight for his younger brother against former title challenger Christopher Diaz (24-1) is also in the works for a Top Rank card on March 17th in New York.

The fight would be on an ESPN card that will be headlined by Michael Conlan against an opponent to be determined.

Jessie (25-1) has been out of the ring since he lost his WBO super bantamweight title in April to Isaac Dogboe in a 2018 Fight of they Year candidate while Diaz returned to action earlier this month with a quick knockout victory over David Berna in Puerto Rico. Diaz came up short against Masayuki Ito in July in a fight for the vacant WBO super featherweight title.

Diaz will be moving down to featherweight for the bout while Jessie, who has struggled to make 122 pounds in his recent fights, will move up 4 pounds.

I like this.

One moving up and one moving down a weight.

Both recently lost their 0’s.. not much else to lose..

Jesse Magdeleno will step up and win by KO. The tough loss and added time off will prove to help him in this contest.

Jessie is a hell of a fighter. I was dumbfounded when he lost to Dogboe, but Dogboe is the real deal. Jessie likely learned from that fight and will come back stronger.

Diego is easily the less talented brother. I'd be surprised if he doesn't get stopped by Lopez.

Yeh. It’s not a bad thing to lose. You fight the best, chances are you can lose. It’s how you come back from it. Jessie should be okay at Feather. Tonnes of hard fights there too.

I still don’t think Jes Mag beat Donaire.

Mick Conlan also appearing on the card now.

Looks like this fight isn’t gonna happen.

Diaz will now fight Shakur Stevenson on Crawford-Khan undercard on April 20.
