Saavedra, 17-1-1 (14 KOs), is unbeaten in his past five starts. The Venezuela-born slugger last fought in an eighth-round knockout of Mikkel Nielsen on the undercard of Tim Tszyu-Joey Spencer in Newcastle, Australia in April, marking his third fight under the No Limit banner – a run that included his majority draw with the unbeaten Cesar Mateo Tapia. Their wild, 10-round thriller involved Saavedra twice flooring Mateo Tapia while hitting the canvas himself.
