Boxing
action in Cicero
(DEC 16) Dominic Pesoli’s 8 Count Productions, HOME OF THE BEST IN
CHICAGO BOXING and Kathy Duva’s Main Events along with Miller Lite and
TCF Bank team up on Friday, January 6, 2006 to present “SHOBOX” THE NEW
GENERATION, another installment of terrific professional boxing at
Cicero Stadium, 1909 S. Laramie Avenue in Cicero, IL. Tickets are on

Affectionately known as “Love Child” by ESPN.com’s boxing expert Dan
Rafael, the 20 year old Julio, a native of Monteria, Columbia sports a
jaw dropping record of 25-0 (22KO’s). He returns to Chicago to face
Ugandan native Robert Kamya, 15-5 (4KO’s), now fighting out of West Palm
Beach, Florida in a scheduled
ten round welterweight bout. Julio overwhelmingly impressed the 11,000
Chicagoland fight fans attending the Fernando Vargas/Javier Castillejo
“Return to Battle” event at the Allstate Arena by knocking out perennial
contender Christopher Henry in the fourth round.
Says Rafael, “He’s the most intriguing and explosive prospect in boxing.
He’s a massive puncher who oozes charisma in the ring. I’ve seen Julio
fight three or four times and he reminds me of a young Acelino “Popo”
Freitas because of his charisma and dynamic punching power. Another
thing I love about Julio is that he looks like he’s truly having fun in
the ring while destroying his opponents, and that’s something fans will
appreciate. If Julio can take a shot, he’s got a chance to be an
exciting world champion.”
Two weeks ago, Julio destroyed veteran Hicklet Lau with a fourth round
technical knockout in North Bergen, New Jersey, the full bout of which
can be viewed at Maxboxing.com. Lau had previously gone the distance
with highly regarded boxers such as Kofi Jantuah, Marlon Thomas, Ray
Olivera, Carlos Maussa, Emmanuel Clottey and Cosme Rivera.
