Cotto-Trout undercard fights

The December 1 event at Madison Square Garden just became an explosive tripleheader with the addition of unbeaten Puerto Rican phenom Jayson Velez (19-0, 14 KOs) taking on Mexico’s Salvador Sanchez II (30-4-3, 18 KOs) in a 10-round fight for the vacant WBC Silver Featherweight title in a classic Puerto Rico vs. Mexico battle. In the second co-featured attraction, one of boxing’s top young talents, middleweight Danny “Miracle Man” Jacobs (23-1, 20 KOs) will face Cleveland’s Chris “The Irish Ghost” Fitzpatrick (15-2, 6 KOs) in a 10-round middleweight fight as Jacobs returns for his second fight after winning a harrowing battle against a cancerous tumor that attacked his spine.
