This past Saturday, February 11, promoter Ken Thompson hosted his talented stable of fighters to be featured on February 24 “New Blood” fight card at a Thompson Boxing Building Materials bazaar in the city of Fontana, California.
Artemio Reyes, Aron Martinez, Efrain Esquivias, Richard Contreras and Sindy Amador put on a beautiful boxing school for the fans who also had the chance to meet Burt Ward, the original “Robin – The Boy Wonder” and the ageless Batmobile. Right here, you can find a collection of photos and videos from the event, and a preview of the New Blood card coming up in a few weeks.
The successful open media workout allowed the boxers a chance to display their skills in the perfectly timed weather – soon after the festivities ended the rain set in!
On February 24th Thompson Boxing Promotions returns to the Doubletree Ontario with the 2012 opener “New Blood” series. The “New Blood” fight card will feature some of boxing’s brightest rising stars as well as showcase some new additions.
