Branden Pizarro Returns to Action on Feb. 8th Edition of Christy Martin's Fight Night

By Matt Ward

Philadelphia's Branden Pizarro (14-1-1, 7 KOs) returns to action on February 8th in an eight round super lightweight bout against Argentina's Gonzalo Carlos Dallera (6-7, 4 KOs). The fight is scheduled to be the main event on a 15-fight card from the Hard Rock Hotel in Daytona Beach, Florida. 

Pizarro is coming off a ten month break from boxing, after fighting to a draw with Tre'Sean Wiggins at The Met Philadelphia last April. This bout, which all three judges scored 76-76, was for Wiggins' Pennsylvania Super Lightweight Title. 

Dallera, who lost six of his seven fights in 2019, was last knocked out by former Irish amateur star Stephen McKenna in November. This will be Dallera's first fight scheduled for more than six round as a pro.

The card, promoted by 2020 International Boxing Hall of Fame inductee Christy Martin, will be the sophomore edition of Christy Martin's Fight Night at the Daytona Beach hotel. Christy Martin Promotions held their first card, a nine fight affair, there on November 1, 2019. 

The card also features a number of young fighters looking to remain undefeated in their professional campaigns, including 22-year-old Evan Holyfield (2-0, 2 KOs). Holyfield, the son of former World Heavyweight Champion Evander, will square off against Travis Nero (1-5, 1 KO) in a four round super welterweight matchup.
