García (18-4-1, 9 KO's) is the current defending champion, ranked 11th in the World Boxing Council rankings. The last time Garcia was on "Boxeo Telemundo Ford" was during Season 1 in March of this year, when he knocked out fellow Mexican Oscar "Ceviche" Ibarra in the 11th round. The Ciudad Neza native defended the title successfully for the first time in July Versus Roberto "Scorpion" Pucheta.

Meanwhile, Mabait (18-1-2, 12 KO's) is one spot above Garcia in the 10th spot of the WBC rankings, having won his last two fights via a KO and facing The Challenge of fighting away from his native Philippines for the first time ever in his professional career.
