"Lightning Strikes" card to be held on April 21st
(APR 7) Dominic Pesoli’s 8 Count Productions, home of the best in
Chicago Boxing, along with Miller Lite and TCF Bank present "Lighting
Strikes", a terrific evening of professional boxing on Friday,
April 21st at Cicero Stadium. Tickets, starting at $30 are on sale in
advance by calling 312-226-5800.
Cicero Stadium is located at 1909 S. Laramie, just minutes from the
Eisenhower and Stevenson Expressways. Doors for this event will open at
7pm with the first bell at 8pm.
Said Pesoli, President of 8 Count Productions, ‘This is our fourth show
this year at Cicero Stadium and the crowds have been terrific for each
show. They’ve seen
great fights and this event has much more of the same. We’ve got a wide
array of fighters from local favorites like Jorge, Omar and
Emmanuel. Then we’ve got
four fighters making their 8 Count Productions’ debut including Rafal
and Pawel from Poland both of whom are very tough and highly skilled
guys.”
“Then we have two female boxers I’m very happy to have on our show, Nora
Reyes and Christina Christian. They’re both undefeated and they’re both
very good fighters. I think our fans will take to them just like they
have to Rita Figueroa.”
“Finally, we’re bringing back Michael Walker, he’s a very tough kid who
had a war with Jimmy Gonzalez last summer on our show at the Aragon. Our
fans still talk about that fight and what a brutal fight it was. He
recently knocked out Kendall Gould on our show at The Grand Victoria
Casino in Rising Sun, Indiana and is looking to keep on moving up in the
rankings.”
Continued Pesoli, “Our matchmaker Jerry Alfano continues to do a great
job making our fights. Our fans don’t want to see mismatches and we have
no
interest in promoting them. He’s made the bouts already for Jorge, Omar,
and Emmanuel and they’re all in tough. We’ll announce the rest as soon
as they’re finalized.”
