Golden Boy Promotions is giving Schofield a guy who will test his chin with his matchup against the 25-year-old (20-3, 13 KOs). They want to make sure he’s ready when he gets a world title, because he struggled in his fight against Haskell Rhodes in July 2023. Schofield was injured in that fight, and he had to get to the bottom to get a decision ten times. win

Giron, 25, has three defeats but has won his recent fights and will be confident on Saturday night against easy-to-hit Scholfield. If the 22-year-old Schofield fights like he did against Rhodes, Giron has a good chance of winning.

“I think he’s going to get a good test in this fight from Rene Tellez Giron. Three losses and he’s on a winning streak now. He’s got some good wins,” said commentator Chris Mannix DAZN Boxing about Giron.

“Golden Boy invests a lot in Schofield, but also tests him. That’s what Golden Boy does. They are one of the best matchmakers in the game. It’s sink or swim with them,” said Sergio Mora. “Schofield has the better hand and athleticism, but he gets hit because he likes to mix it up.

“If he messes with Giron, it’s going to be a longer night than expected. I’m favoring Schofield in this fight because I feel he’s learned from his past ways. His Haskell Rhodes fight was tougher than expected . So he knows not to go into those types of fights, especially against a Mexican style that wants to do that type of fight,” Mora said.

Giron will have seen Rhodes struggle, and will look to put the same kind of pressure on Schofield that he did. He may not be as big of a puncher as Rhodes, but that might not matter.

“If he’s going to draw the young buck into a fight, the fans will be in for a big deal, but Schofield could be upset if he does that. Schofield’s not a name. He needs to be in these big fights. He has had the main event after Vergil Ortiz wasn’t able to get that main event slot.”

If Schofield loses this fight, it will be a long road back to the top because he will need a lot of work for him to climb to the #2 spot again with the WBA. If it wasn’t for the Haskell Rhodes fight, this would be seen as a sure win for Schofield. The Rhodes fight showed that Schofield is still flawed and not ready for a world title shot.

“He shone in a fight where he was cut; it was exciting, and he was taken down. Now, he is the main event, but now he has to be a little more careful. He knows that it is the perfect match of style, but he is facing or swim,” Mora said.

The only reason he’s in the main event is because Vergil Jr. he’s not ready to go after his wild fight against Serhii Bohachuk. Schofield needs to prove he deserves future card titles to make easy work of Giron.
