Headlining at the Cabaret du Casino de Montreal, the primary challenge for the Cuban-born Iglesias is breaking through the defensive guard of Silyagin, an unbeaten Russian contender who has never been stopped. The objective for "El Tornado" Iglesias is to extend his streak of early knockouts and secure his first major world title in front of his adopted Montreal fan base. Strategically, this 12-round championship bout is a clash of polar opposites. The goal for Iglesias is to apply relentless southpaw pressure and find a home for his devastating left hand, which has seen him dispatch his last four opponents within two rounds. The tactical focus for Silyagin is to utilize his superior amateur pedigree and lateral movement to frustrate Iglesias, taking the fight into the later rounds where the Cuban’s stamina may be tested for the first time. With the 168lb division wide open following the retirement of Terence Crawford, the ultimate goal for both men is to emerge as the new face of the category. 2461903
