(February 19th) Manny Pacquiao Promotions (MPP) today announced opponents for Jimuel Pacquiao Jr. (0-0-1) and Curmel “Big Deal” Moton (8-0, 6 KOs), as both promising prospects return to action on Saturday, February 28 at Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, New York.

Returning to Upstate New York for the first time since his induction into the International Boxing Hall of Fame last June, Manny Pacquiao and MPP bring a talent-stacked card back to U.S. soil. The event is headlined by a 10-round WBO Featherweight International Championship showdown between knockout artists Elijah Pierce (21-2, 17 KOs) and Lorenzo Parra (23-1-1, 17 KOs)—a high-stakes clash originally slated to headline MPP’s sold-out U.S. debut before illness forced its postponement.

“These fights represent key moments in the careers of two rising stars,” said Brendan Gibbons, matchmaker for Manny Pacquiao Promotions. “Jimuel and Curmel have earned the opportunity to test themselves against skilled opposition, and we expect both men to put on memorable performances as they push toward future title contention.”

The co-main event will feature a 10-round US WBC Silver Super Lightweight Title fight between hometown favorite Bryce Mills (20-1, 7 KOs) of Liverpool, NY, and Tobias Green (21-3-1, 4 KOs) of Lake Park, FL..

Pacquiao Jr. steps back into the fray for his sophomore outing against Puerto Rico’s Luis E. Santana Figueroa (0-2) in a four-round lightweight fight. In his highly anticipated professional debut at MPP’s inaugural sold-out U.S. event in November, Pacquiao Jr. delivered relentless aggression in a thrilling, back-and-forth battle with Brandon Lalley. Though the bout ended in a controversial draw, he left little doubt about his star potential, displaying the same electrifying, fan-friendly style that made his father a global icon. Pacquiao Jr. can now earn his first professional victory near the International Boxing Hall of Fame, where his father was ceremonially enshrined last year.

At just 19-years-old, Moton is already widely viewed as a future star and he looks to reinforce that reputation on Saturday, February 28, when he faces Wilfredo Flores (12-6-1, 5 KOs) in a 10-round welterweight attraction. Making his first appearance in nearly a year, Moton returns to action for a compelling road test, taking on Flores, a 36-year-old Puerto Rican southpaw who now resides just outside Buffalo in North Tonawanda.

With Pacquiao Jr. continuing his ascent under the watchful eye of his father – and Moton under the guidance of Mayweather Promotions, their respective bouts will spotlight two emerging talents poised to shape boxing’s next generation.

Highly accomplished as an amateur and now forging an undefeated record as a professional, Honolulu’s rising star Shera Mae Patricio (7-0, 3 KOs) is set to face off against Mexico City’s Maribel Ramirez (15-13-4, 3 KOs). Turning professional in September 2024, Patricio boasts an impressive amateur background, winning the 2024 U.S. Olympic Team Trials. Competing four times in 2025, Patricio has proven she is one of the most exciting young fighters as she prepares for a stiff test against the experienced Ramirez.

In addition, Liverpool, N.Y.’s Damiana Andrello (1-1-1) gears up to perform in front of a hometown crowd against Waconia, Minn.’s Jessica Maltez (2-3-2). Battling adversity early in her young career, Andrello is on the heels of her first victory, defeating Keya Reed-Redmond in December via unanimous decision.

Joining hometown favorite and fellow Liverpool, N.Y. native Bryce Mills on the card, Andrello aims to continue her momentum. Meanwhile, Ontario, Canada’s Michelle Cook (3-6-2) looks to reinsert herself in the win column as she welcomes Katrina Scalzo (Pro Debut) to the professionals.

Born and raised in Las Vegas, surging lightweight contender Rodrigo Mosquera III (4-0, 2 KOs) returns to action when he squares off against Pittsburgh native Khalil Sanders (1-1). Scoring a unanimous decision victory at MPP’s sold-out U.S. debut in November, Mosquera puts his perfect record on the line against Sanders, who is on the heels of a first-round knockout victory. Lastly, undefeated Brandan Poulard (2-0, 2 KOs) and Chris Pacheco (0-1) face off in a four-round super welterweight tilt. Just one year into his young career, Quebec’s Poulard has already emerged as a promising prospect, with both of his victories coming by way of first-round knockout.

The event marks another major milestone for Manny Pacquiao Promotions following a successful, sold-out U.S. debut and continues the company’s expansion into marquee boxing markets across the country. Turning Stone Resort Casino, long recognized as one of the premier boxing venues in the United States, will host the event.
