Bojado Headlines Night of
Boxing
July 27, 2007 |
 |
(TUCSON, ARIZONA) – (JULY 27) Tonight Golden Boy Promotions and Desert
Diamond Casino are teaming up once again to present a pugilists showdown
that includes a super lightweight main event between Guadalajara’s
Francisco “Panchito” Bojado and veteran Rogelio Castaneda Jr. The
evening includes six scheduled bouts and a special appearance by boxing
great Jesus Chavez.
The main event, a 10 round super lightweight affair, pits former Mexican
Olympian Francisco “Panchito” Bojado (17-2, 11 KO’s) against the
experienced Tijuana transplant, Rogelio Castaneda Jr. (23-12-3, 8 KO’s).
Bojado, a Golden Boy Promotions “can’t miss” prospect, is currently on
the comeback trail following a split decision loss to highly experienced
former World Champion “Jesse” James Leija in what was only Bojado’s 18th
professional bout. Castaneda, with nine title fight appearances under
his belt, and having faced the likes of Demetrius Hopkins, may have the
upper hand against the younger Bojado.
The lightweight 10 round co-main event features Jose Armando Santa Cruz
(24-2, 13 KO’s) making his debut under the Golden Boy Promotions
umbrella against Columbian Dairo Jose Esalas (29-8, 24 KO’s).
The undercard includes an 8 round super bantamweight bout featuring El
Paso’s Antonio Escalante (14-2, 9 KO’s) takes on Veracruz’s Paulino
Villalobos (26-36-2, 16 KO’s). Returning to the Diamond Center is
Scotland’s Craig McEwan (4-0, 3 KO’s) and Texas native Valentino Jalomo
(2-1-1) in a 6 round middleweight fight. Also in action are Adan Leal
(5-0, 5 KO’s) against Carlos de la Cruz (10-7, 4 KO’s) and opening the
night is Deferson Legrand (1-0) against Roberto Miramontes (pro debut).
Doors open at 6:00 p.m. and the opening bell rings at 7:00 p.m. Tickets
range from $30 to $100 in advance and are on sale now. To purchase
