Undefeated Canadian junior middleweight prospect Mikael Zewski [8-0, 5 KOs] has found an opponent for his spot on the undercard of this Saturday's Erik Morales-Marcos Maidana HBO pay-per-view as he will fight Robert Guerrero sparring partner Clint Coronel [4-1-2, KO] of San Jose, California in a six-round bout.

Coronel is coming off of a controversial split decision victory over journeyman Carlos Musquez, which was the televised co-feature March 25^th on Telefutura's Solo Boxeo. Coronel is a tough fighter that originally came from MMA and Frank Shamrock's stable of fighters, but has found a niche as a durable opponent. He gave amateur standout Richard Hargraves trouble in his other bout of 2011 back in February in San Francisco, earning a draw.

Golden Boy signed Zewski back in August of last year and hope to develop him into a draw in his hometown of Quebec much the way Lucian Bute has become a draw over there.

This will mark Zewski's third bout of the year and the second this month, having scored a third round technical knockout of Gerardo Prieto on March 4^th.

Coronel has made strides as a professional boxer since becoming a chief sparring partner for Guerrero, who also fights on the card in the televised co-feature against Michael Katsidis. He should provide rounds for the young prospect despite losing by first round stoppage in his only defeat, a loss on cuts to Roberto Reyes in June of last year.
