This Saturday, Argentine boxing will host a regional middleweight clash as Iván Ricardo Actis (11-0-1, 7 KOs) faces Ariel Leonel López (7-0, 5 KOs) at the Club Unión Eléctrica in Córdoba. Actis, age 28, a native of Córdoba, enters the fight with a slight edge in professional experience. A heavy-handed fighter, he’s shown steady tactical growth in recent outings, earning solid wins over opponents such as Braian Pérez and Carlos Valecillo. A win would cement his status as one of Argentina’s rising middleweights in a historically competitive division. López, based in Comodoro Rivadavia, has fewer fights on his record, but he’s demonstrated sound technique and sharp ring awareness. His patient, calculated approach could prove effective in slowing down Actis’ tempo. In his most recent appearance, López scored a knockout victory over Denis Andrade.
