round USBA featherweight title fight between Mexico City’s Martin “El
Brochas” Honorio and Tanzanian native Rogers “The Tiger” Mtagwa.
The eight bout CICERO CHILL card, broadcast internationally on SOLO
BOXEO De Miller, is presented by Dominic Pesoli’s 8 Count Productions,
HOME OF THE BEST IN CHICAGO BOXING and Oscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy

Said Pesoli, “I’m very happy to again work with Oscar on this event.
It’s another huge card with some terrific veterans and outstanding
looking prospects. We’ve got 54 rounds of boxing scheduled for CICERO
CHILL.”
The twenty six year old Honorio, sporting a record of 23-2-1 (12KO’s) is
coming off a unanimous decision over Baudel Cardenas on August 25, 2006
at the Desert Diamond Casino in Tucson, Arizona. His seven year
professional career includes wins over Steven Luevano, John Nolasco,
Giovanni Andrade and Gamaliel Diaz as well as a draw with Jorge Lacierva.
He is currently rated #4 by the WBC and #11 by the IBF.
Mtagwa, 22-10-2 (16KO’s), now based in Philadelphia, won the USBA Title
by knocking out Artyom Simonyan on June 16th of this year. In his last
bout, Mtagwa defended the title by knocking out Alvin Brown in the
fourth round on August 2, 2006 in Philadelphia. He holds wins over Joe
Morales and Fernando Trejo and is currently rated #8 by the IBF.
Highly regarded undefeated light heavyweight prospect Tavoris Cloud will
return to the 8 Count Productions’ ring in an eight round bout. The
heavy handed Cloud, 12-0 (11KO’s) brutally knocked out veteran Tim
Shocks last month thrilling the packed house at the Aragon Ballroom.
With his two previous appearances in Chicago this year resulting in
early KO’s, the highly skilled Cloud is fast becoming one of Chicago’s
most exciting and popular fighters.
Super featherweight prospect Vicente Escobedo of Woodland, California
will make his Chicagoland debut in an eight round bout. A member of the
2004 United States
Olympic team, Escobedo, 10-1 (9KO’s) has thrilled the west coast boxing
crowds with his knockout power.
Also on the card, Puerto Rican lightweight sensation Mike Gonzalez will
battle in a six round bout. Gonzalez, now based in Milwaukee, has won
the first eight bouts of his professional career by knockout. Gonzalez’s
most recent victim was Donnell Logan who was stopped in the second round
last month.
Just added to CICERO CHILL is junior middleweight Rudy Cisneros in a six
round
bout. The Chicago born and bred Cisneros, 8-2 (7KO’s) is coming off a
very close split decision loss to Norberto Bravo as past of the second
season of ESPN’s The Contender. Prior to that fight, Cisneros had won
seven in a row, six by knockout in the first three rounds.
Popular Chicago featherweight Barbaro Zepeda, will also be featured in a
six round bout.
Also on the undercard in separate four round bouts are undefeated Polish
prospects, light heavyweight Mateusz Masternak, 4-0 (4KO’s) and
welterweight Andrezej Fonfara, 3-0. During each of their bouts this past
Friday night, the crowds at Cicero Stadium were on their feet cheering
both warriors on.
The Master of Ceremonies for this event will be the internationally
recognized voice of Latino boxing, Lupe Contreras. |
