In the TeleFutura "Sólo Boxeo Tecate" main event scheduled for eight rounds in the junior lightweight division, unbeaten Santa Ana product Ronny Rios (16-0, 7 KO’s) faces off with hometown favorite Jeremy McLaurin (9-2, 5 KO’s) of Anaheim. The co-main event will be an eight round featherweight matchup between Salinas’ Alejandro Perez (15-3-1, 10 KO’s) and Florida’s Derrick Wilson (9-2-2, 3 KO’s).
The action doesn’t there, as debuting featherweights Julian Ramirez of Los Angeles and Javier Damian of Mexico City both look to get that first professional win under their belt in a four round fight expected to produce plenty of hard-hitting action.
Plus, local welterweights collide as unbeaten East Los Angeles prospect Luis Mora (1-0-1, 1 KO) aims for his second professional win against the always tough Ricardo Malfavon (2-7-1, 2 KO’s) in a four round bout and, opening up the event, will be a four round junior lightweight clash between Santa Ana’s Jose Sanchez (6-2, 3 KO’s) and Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mexico veteran Manuel Sarabia (16-33-10, 10 KO’s).
