Fighter Matchups
This is the first meeting between Pagan and Jimenez, bringing an element of uncertainty to the lightweight contest. Pagan (14-0-0, 5 KOs), a 25-year-old American of Puerto Rican descent based in Grand Rapids, is an undefeated prospect known for his technical skills, length (5’10” height), and recent ability to secure stoppages against tougher opposition.
He fights orthodox and has a strong amateur background, including a 2021 USA National Championship win.
Jimenez (18-2-0, 10 KOs), a 28-year-old Nicaraguan orthodox fighter standing at 5’8″, is a power puncher with a 55.6% KO rate but has struggled against top prospects in recent losses.
The matchup pits Pagan’s reach and boxing IQ against Jimenez’s aggression and power. Both have weighed in around 134-135 lbs recently, minimizing size differences. Pagan’s promoter compares him to a mix of Bronco McKart and Diego Corrales for his style, while Jimenez has held regional titles like the WBC International lightweight belt.
