Gio­van­ni Potts, the card's pro­mot­er re­vealed that in­ter­na­tion­al ref­er­ees, judges and su­per­vi­sors will be hired for the card. Potts said this has be­come nec­es­sary to avoid a re­peat of what tran­spired fol­low­ing the Ram­nar­ine/Ana Fer­nan­dez fight in 2009 at Saith Park, Ch­agua­nas which end­ed in con­tro­ver­sy as Ram­nar­ine was award­ed the vic­to­ry. Mean­while, Placide is promis­ing an en­ter­tain­ing re­turn to the ring when he match­es gloves with Guyana's Richard Ret­tie, while Unit­ed States-born, Trinidad and To­ba­go fight­er Lor­ris­sa Ri­vas will be mak­ing a strong bid to take over from Giselle Sa­landy, when she comes up against Evali­na Di­az of Colom­bia.
