Rodriguez vs Hlatshwayo II For IBF World Welterweight Championship
Monday July 6th, 2009
Bronx, NY
On August 1st, Star Boxing’s IBF #2 rated, Delvin Rodriguez (24-2-2, 14KO) will fight for the Vacant IBF Welterweight Championship of the world when he takes on IBF #3 rated Isaac Hlatshwayo (28-1-1, 10KO) in a rematch of their highly entertaining draw that took place in November in Hlatshwayo’s home country of South Africa. Rodriguez v Hlatshwayo is promoted by Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing and is set to take place at the Mohegan Sun Resort and Casino in Uncasville, CT.
“Of course I was not happy after the first fight. I know I won the fight, most people who watched the fight, including the South African press know I won the fight, the only people who didn’t seem to know were two of the three judges,” stated Rodriguez. “I went into his backyard and fought him and then we set the rematch to be over here in the states and he wouldn’t come. So instead of waiting around for him I took on Shamone Alvarez and beat him, earning the #2 spot in the IBF ratings. Isaac is rated number three, so the only way he can win the title is by going through me and I promise you that there is no way that is going to happen.” Read more »
Matt “Sharp Shooter” Remillard Heading West to Face Edel Ruiz Friday in Reno
Monday July 6th, 2009
Manchester, Conn.
WBC Youth and USNBC featherweight champion Matt “Sharp Shooter” Remillard is a young man heading West to fight veteran Edel “Cuate” Ruiz this Friday night in Reno, Nevada.
The 23-year-old Remillard (17-0, 9 KOs), fighting out of Manchester, Connecticut, was originally supposed to fight Ruiz (32-22-4, 23 KOs) two months ago in Maryland. Ruiz became ill and was unable to fight that date, leading to a postponement of this interesting match-up between youth and experience that eventually landed in Reno. Read more »
Tomoki “El Mexicanito” Kameda
Monday July 6th, 2009
by Jesse Rican - OnThEGRiND BoXiNG New York
On Friday night I was disappointed that there was not a Friday Night Fights card on ESPN, so I decided to channel surf, and as a fun surprise I landed on Telemundo boxing. It wasn’t a live card, but regardless I did not know the results, so I sat back and enjoyed the boxing matches for the night and I have to say that the main event draw Tomoki “El Mexicanito” Kameda is definitely a prospect to keep your eye on.
I guess the first thing that you will notice about him is the fact that he isn’t Mexicanito, he’s actually from Tokyo, Japan. Read more »
