Fight Week Preivew
Boxing stays hot this week with another big fight week! Following up from the past two weeks, we get three big cards again this week.
The action again kicks off with a crossroads fight in what promises to be an all-action main event on the PROBOX TV Series as Laredo, Texas, Native Jorge Castaneda, 16-2 (12), looks to make it two stoppages in a row this year and get back in the world title picture at 130 or even 126t pounds as he says he can make. he battles Orlando Gonzalez 21-2 (12) of Puerto Rico. A win puts the victor back on the title track and makes the loser irrelevant at least for the moment. Castaneda scored a vicious KO of-the-year knockout in the eighth round of his last fight with Nestor Medellin back in July. Gonzalez last fought in July as well and scored a 10-round UD over Ramiro Cesena. The undercard features fan favorite Argentine 140-pounder Marcelino Nicolas Lopez 37-3-1 (22) as he battles unbeaten prospect Tarik Zaina, who hails from Morocco.
The action then moves to the UK for a cracking contest between Mick Conlon of Ireland battles "The Thrill" Jordan Gill, 27-2-1 (8), in a 12-round 130-pound fight. Gill last fought 13 months ago and was stopped by Kiko Martinez in four rounds. Conlan, 18-2 (9), was beaten down by Featherweight IBF World champion Luis Alberto Lopez over five rounds back in May. The undercard features the surging Tyrone Mckenna, who bounced back from the Regis Prograis beatdown by dismantling Chris Jenkins over the scheduled 10 rounds. He battles unbeaten upstart Lewis Crocker, who sports a shiny record of 17-0 (10) but has no names of note on his resume outside of aged-out former world title challenger Joel Julio, whom he beat back in April in Glasgow, Scotland.
The action concludes in the Lone Star State as Ryan Garcia makes his first appearance since the Tank David loss. Garcia, of Victorville, California 23-1 (19) battles the rugged Mexican Osacr Durate 26-1-1 (21). Durate has scored back-to-back wins over touted prospects Alex Martin and D'angelo Keyes in his last two outings. The card also features hard luck loser Ismael Barroso, who suffered the "Robbery of the Year" in what happened to him in his world title bid with Rolly Romero in May, will battle British KO artist Ohara Davies, who stopped Lewis Ritson in his last outing earlier this year. Davies sports a record of 25-2 (18). A loaded Golden Boy card also features a pair of highly touted prospects from the Lone Star State both "Kid Austin" Floyd Schofield and "DFG" Darius Fulghum will be in action.
