CANYONVILLE, OREGON – Featherweight prospect Osvel Caballero will aim to continue his upward advancement in the eight-round main event of “Clash at the Casino II” against Ernesto Sebastian Franzolini at the Seven Feathers Casino Resort on Saturday night. Fighters for the seven-bout card weighed-in at the casino’s Elements Lounge on Friday night.
Caballero (5-0, 4 KOs) of Los Angeles, California by way of Lajas, Cienfuegos, Cuba was actually in the ring just one week ago, competing as a member of the Las Vegas Hustle in Team Combat League. Caballero won both of his one-round bouts by decision over Ariel Perez De La Torre in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Throughout the 2025 season, Caballero won 16 of his 19 one-round bouts as one of the top performers in the league. Saturday marks Caballero’s first traditional bout of the year. Last February, Caballero, a 2021 AIBA World Boxing Championship gold medalist, made his U.S. debut and scored a fourth-round stoppage of Jason Buenaobra in Santa Ynez, California. Caballero weighed-in at 130.9-pounds on Friday night.
Franzolini (21-16-2, 2 KOs) of Pinamar, Buenos Aires, Argentina is a thirteen-year pro making his fourth appearance in the U.S. on Saturday night. Franzolini is coming off of back-to-back victories in his native Argentina this year, lastly a second-round stoppage just three weeks ago. In two fights against American prospects last year, Franzolini failed to last past the second round against Angel Barrientes and Dylan Price, who combined to have a record of 27-1 at the time. Franzolini weighed-in at 130.2-pounds on Friday night.
In the semi-main event, Anthony Cruz Herrera (3-0) of Eugene, Oregon will take on Blaiwas Eaglepipe (2-2, 1 KO) of Salem, Oregon in a five-round super featherweight bout. Herrera, who weighed-in at 130.8-pounds on Friday, moved up to the five-round distance in his last bout, a unanimous decision over veteran Rob Diezel in Salem this past February. Eaglepipe, who also scaled 130.8-pounds, will be looking to rebound from a seven-round decision defeat to Gerardo Esquivel this past April.
Light heavyweight prospect Rocky Sanchez (4-0, 2 KOs) of Monmouth, Oregon will meet short-notice replacement Idrees Wasi (1-4, 1 KO) of Sacramento, California in a four-round cruiserweight bout. Sanchez, who weighed-in at 185.8-pounds, had been pegged to rematch Thomas Turner, who was ruled out early in the week. Wasi, who came in at 178.1-pounds, was named as the new opponent on Tuesday.
Emmanuel Ojeda (2-0) of Salem will take on Joel Hernandez (1-0) of Wenton, Washington in a four-round featherweight bout.
