On September 15th at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, a genuine Mexican Style fight will take place but there is a big chance that it won’t take place between the big name boxers heading the event, but instead by the undercard fight between super welter WBO belt holder Jaime Munguia and Brandon Cook. It is fair to say that the David Lemieux vs. Gary O´Sullivan could as well keep the fight fans on the edge of their seats.
