Beccera of El Paso, Texas is a former NABA Super Flyweight champion and is a known as a tough and battle tested veteran who has shared the ring with former world title challenger Raul Martinez, and currant world bantamweight champion Yonnhy Perez.

Fights at the Fitz
Sat Sep 25 8:00PM ET

Some of the best boxing prospects will be on display this Saturday night as former Olympic Bronze medal winner, Deontay Wilder, his 2004 Olympic teammate Gary Russell Jr. as well as undefeated middleweight Dominick Wade, Alex Guerrero as well as an interesting Featherweight showdown between Eric “Outlaw” Hunter and Andre Wilson will round out this night of boxing.

Wilder, who surprisingly won the 2004 Olympic Bronze Medal in the Super heavyweight division and has stopped all eleven of his pro opponents. Wilder will fight Mujaheed Moore who has a record of 4-4 with three knockouts.

Russell has quickly captured the attention of many in the boxing industry with his lightning quick hands that has catapulted him to a record of 11-0 with eight knockouts and he will face his toughest test in Willie Villanueva who has a very respectable record of 9-2 with two knockouts.

Wade has been called a very intriguing Middleweight prospect and the native of Largo, Maryland has a record of 8-0 with six knockouts and is coming off an impressive first round knockout over thirty-six fight veteran Troy Lowry and he will face Freddie Montoya (3-1, 2 KO’s).
Guerrero (3-0-1, 1 KO), the brother of top Middleweight prospect Fernando Guerrero will battle Dustin Schnakenberg (4-2, 3 KO’s)
Hunter, the former U.S. Olympic alternate (14-1, 7 KO’s) has won nine in a row since his lone defeat, including the last three by knockout will take on the tough Wilson who has a record of (11-4-1, 9 KO’s)

Medina and Han – Showcase ‘El Paso Superfight 2’
Fri Sep 24 10:00PM ET

Zeferino Entertainment is set to return to El Paso, Texas on September 24, that will be streamed on www.gofightlive.tv on September 25th, when the popular Mexican American brawler David ‘Strictly Business’ Medina (21-2, 10 KO’s) take on the rugged brawler Anthony Shuler (20-7-1, 14 KO’s) in an eight round affair. Medina, who is now ranked #17 by the WBC, is looking poised to explode into the top ten by the end of the year, but anything less than a dominant performance against Shuler would almost certainly derail that. ‘David is at a point where every fight is going to be under the microscope’, commented promoter Zef Ramirez, ‘he knows that a win over Shuler puts him in a position to maintain his world ranking, but a dominant win allows him to advance.’ Although Medina looked impressive in out boxing Miguel Hernandez back in October of last year in El Paso, many feel that Shuler will bring out the brawler in Medina.

Rounding off the card is local ‘HOT’ prospect Abraham Han (10-0, 9 KO’s) in an eight rounder against Hilario Lopez.

Han has moved to the front of the pack to establish himself as the hottest prospect in the Southwest, and is eager to show off in front of his local fans.

Also on the card is Abel Perry (12-4, 4 KO’s) looking to bounce back after his heartbreaking loss to Jonathan Gonzalez back in July with a six rounder against a TBA. Perry (who was slightly ahead on the judge’s scorecards against the undefeated Gonzalez) was stopped in the sixth and final round of the fight.

Rounding out the bill will be undefeated Lightweight Cesar Valenzuela (4-0, 1 KO) of Ciudad, Mexico taking on twenty fight veteran Lorenzo Estrada as well as Oscar Valenzuela (1-0) taking on debuting Joaquin Abilla in a Jr. Welterweight bout.
