Friday, April 8th, 6 PM PST – Fite.TV PPV ($16.99)
Stockton-based boxing promotions Toscano Boxing Promotions will have a card in Mexico, which will be available on PPV as well.
The main event is Damian Sosa, who now holds a belt at 154 lbs., the WBO latino 154 lbs belt to be exact, and is making his first defense against Jesus Vega.
So what should you know?
Sosa has signed with Toscano Boxing Promotions, who have guided him to a belt, and now is in a position to get marquee bouts in the future, especially with Jermell Charlo and Brian Castano becoming undisputed – belts could be vacated or interim titles could exist, soon.
Vega has only fought in Mexico, against mostly limited competition, with his notable fight being a loss to Omar Chavez, the son of Julio Cesar Chavez. With a big win here – Sosa could be in the running for some of the bigger names at 154 lbs, especially in the WBO rankings.
WBC youth lightweight champion Manuel Jaimes will face Pedro Bernal Rodriguez as Jaimes will make his first defense of his WBC title. Jaimes has the chance to be a very special fighter, as he has a high workrate, and is always in shape. Jaimes has the chance to be a big-time Northern California fighter.
Bantamweight Gabriel Muratalla, who was seen often on the Top Rank Inc. bubble cards, will be on this card as well
130 lbs Jose “Karma” Alvarado will bring his all-action style to this card as well.
