Catchpole Predicts Sweet Revenge Against Spence On Saturday

Posted on | June 15, 2011 | No Comments

This coming weekend Dagenham’s Joe Catchpole will be looking for retribution against Scunthorpe’s Steve Spence, the man who put the only blemish on his otherwise perfect record when they last met.

The rematch, between Catchpole and Spence, will take place at York Hall in Bethnal Green this Saturday, on the undercard of two time World Featherweight Champion Choi Tseveenpürev bout against Australia’s former IBO World Featherweight Champion ‘Action’ Jackson Asiku at Spencer Fearon’s Hard Knock Boxing promotions ‘Summer Smash’ event.

When the pair first locked horns, back in November at the Magna Centre in Rotherham, Catchpole had a perfect three wins in three outings and was quite rightly the bookies favourite. However Spence, whose record stood at two wins and four losses, had very different ideas and took the fight to Catchpole.

For four long hard rounds the pair traded hard and fast. Catchpole being the busier of the two but Spence was landing the more meaningful punches to keep the fight close throughout and no one was too surprised when referee John Foster declared the bout a draw.

Earlier today Catchpole spoke briefly on the upcoming rematch with Spence as well as about their previous meeting, “I’m looking forward to a good fight, it’s going be exciting and sweet revenge.

It will definitely not be a draw this time. Last time I struggled to make weight quite bad, I had a nutrition plan which unfortunately didn’t work, it made me crash diet at the last minute and I just had no energy left after the weigh-in.

I was quite happy to get the draw last time but this time he’ll be lucky to hear the final bell”

Joe Catchpole versus Steve Spence will feature on Spencer Fearon’s Hard Knock Boxing Promotions ‘Summer Smash’ event, headlined by the WBU/WBF Featherweight Champion of the World Choijiljavyn ‘Choi Tseveenpürev, better known as Choi The Mongolian Warrior against former IBO Featherweight Champion of the World ‘Action’ Jackson Asiku from Australia, at York Hall in Bethnal Green on Saturday 18th June 2011

THE LATE GENARO “CHICANITO” HERNANDEZ TO RECEIVE INAUGURAL LOPEZ FAMILY “SALUTE TO GREAT CHAMPIONS AWARD” SATURDAY, JUNE 25 AT FIRST PICO RIVERA SHOW

Posted on | June 15, 2011 | No Comments

Pico Rivera–It is only fitting that one of the great Los Angeles boxing champions will receive the very first Salute To Great Champions award, and that champion will be Genaro “Chicanito” Hernandez. On Saturday, June 25^th in the boxing ring at the Pico Rivera Sports Arena as part of Opening Night of the Inaugural Boxeo en El Pico Rivera boxing and MMA series presented by Roy Englebrecht Promotions; Leonardo Lopez Sr. and Fernando Lopez, the operators of the arena will present the Hernandez family with a specially designed sculpture to signify the Salute To Great Champions award.

Genaro is the first recipient of this award not because he was a eight time world boxing champion….not because he just recently lost his life with a rare form of brain cancer….he is receiving this honor because he is one of the classiest, most decent champions Los Angeles has ever produced!

With a sterling 38-2 pro record with his only losses coming from Oscar De La Hoya and Floyd Mayweather, and super featherweight world titles in the WBC and WBA, Hernandez has been a true Los Angeles warrior. Genaro was born in South Central Los Angeles, trained in South Central, sparred in South Central, and has kept himself grounded over the years by his ties to South Central LA.

The opening night action will feature a hybrid fight show promoted by Roy Englebrecht Promotions that will feature three pro boxing bouts and three pro mixed martial arts bouts, and will have a real local flavor. Headlining the six bout card will be two local fighters in separate bouts. Whittier prospectHumberto Zatarain who is trained by Oscar Muniz will look to stay undefeated and move to 2-0 and will face Martin Delgado out of Ontario in a lightweight matchup. In a junior lightweight female bout, Maywood’s Lissette Medel at 2-1 will face Coachella’s tough Adriana Leal.

MMA action will feature Pico Rivera’s own Matt Ruiz (1-1) facing Duarte’s Brandon Michael (2-2) in a heavyweight three rounder, and Long Beach’s Sebastian Lopez (1-1) meets North Hollywood’sCarlos Urquilla (1-1) at middleweight.

Other local fighters on the Saturday, June 25^th show include Maywood’s Rigoberto Flores in his pro debut, and South Gate heavyweight Martin Santizo also in his pro debut.

Tickets priced at only $35 for floor seats and only $10 for Grandstand general admission. Tickets are on sale by calling 562-695-0747.  Pico Rivera Sports Arena is centrally located off the 605 Freeway at the 60 freeway between Los Angeles and Orange Counties
