Get ready for action packed night of boxing this Saturday October 19, 2013 at the Pico Rivera Sports Arena in Whittier, CA. The 10-round main-event of the evening is between lightweight prospect Alejandro Luna (14-0, 11 KOs) and the hardnosed veteran Daniel Attah (28-16-1, 11 KOs).
Luna is coming into the fight with 5 KO/TKO wins in his last 7 outings, while Attah is trying to get back into the win column following some recently tough matchmaking.
Luna is quite the draw and he will enjoy a favorable crowd when he steps into the ring on Saturday. As a fast rising prospect, the undefeated Luna hopes to benefit from a win over the most notable opponent on his resume, but it won’t be an easy task as Attah has been in the ring with some of boxing’s best.
The co-main event on the card features another undefeated fighter in Roy Tapia (7-0-1, 3KOs), also from California. The junior featherweight Tapia takes on Sergio Najera of Tijuana, Mexico in a 6-round bout. Tapia promises to bring a crowd pleasing fight to Najera.
“Everyone knows I like to let my hands go,” said Tapia. “I will have a lot of fans coming out to see me fight so I’m coming extra hard to put on a great performance. I’ll be gunning for a knockout.”
The top of the card contains yet another undefeated fighter in local up and comer Arnold Barboza Jr. (2-0), another California-based fighter in his 3rd professional fight. Barboza will square off against Douglas Rosales in a 4-round affair set at the welterweight limit. Barboza prides himself on maintaining the ability to both box and slug. He is looking forward to showcasing his well-versed abilities
The card also features a bout between two female fighters, Edelma Jeffrey and Myra Manzo, making their pro-debuts, as well as a battle between Mexican fighters Jose Garcia and Alejandro Ochoa squaring off in a 4-round lightweight bout. Johathen Hayes and Robert Hill will open up the card in a 4-round junior middleweight bout.
