The Undefeated Product: Adrian Galindo
Adrian Galindo has done nothing but win. The Fight Ready product out of Phoenix, Arizona holds an unbeaten 1-0 professional record, is comfortable finishing on the feet or the mat, and carries the polish that comes with training at one of Arizona's most respected gyms. He fights in front of a home crowd, riding a wave that has never crested. The only pressure on Galindo is the pressure of a perfect record, and every unbeaten fighter eventually meets someone determined to be the first blemish.
The Spoiler Stepping Up: Jartavis Jackson
Jartavis Jackson comes to Phoenix as a game road opponent with everything to gain. A fighter willing to travel into enemy territory to face an unbeaten hometown prospect is a fighter who believes in himself, and that self-belief is a real weapon.

Where the Fight Is Won and Lost
Size and pace define this one. Galindo will want to use his frame to control where the fight happens and lean on the polish that has carried him this far. Jackson has to prevent a long night against the fence, force exchanges, and make the bigger man uncomfortable. If Galindo dictates distance, his edge should show. If Jackson turns it into a scrap and refuses to fade, the road fighter can make it a very long night for the home favorite.
