DeAlba of Reading, PA has won 9 consecutive fights and is unbeaten in 13 that has raised his mark to 11-1-2 with 4 knockouts.
During the streak he has defeated two undefeated fighters in Benjamin Burgos and Andrew Bentley. On November 30, he scored a thrilling 4th round stoppage over Osnel Charles. In his last bout, DeAlba is coming off an 8-round unanimous decision over Chazz McDowell on January 25 in Bethlehem, PA.

"I just work harder and harder and I am ready to go."
Suarez of Luguillo, Puerto Rico has a record of 4-3-2 with 1 knockouts.
He has been matched tough as he has faced four undefeated opponents and has wins over Omar Pena (2-0-1) and Fauris Capellan (1-0) and in his last bout he fought a majority draw with highly regarded Frankie Trader (10-1) on February 7.
Despite that modest record, De Alba knows that he could be in a battle with Suarez.
"I know he had a draw with Trader. Trader is a good prospect. Suarez is from Puerto Rico and they are tough fighters. I know it's going to be a good fight."
De Alba knows that 2014 is a moving year to get him position for big fights and he is looking forward to the process.
"I know by the end of the year I should be fighting for some small title. I just continue to work hard. I know because my name is getting out there that a lot of fighters want to end my streak."
By 2015, De Alba will be ready for the big names of the division and has set his sights on a particular former world champion.
"I fight whoever they put in front of me. I see some guys with big records like Juan Manuel Lopez. I know I can beat him but I will continue to fight whoever they want me to fight. I just want to thank my team. My manager Marshall Kauffman and my trainer Anibal Adorno. The hard work will pay off," finished De Alba
