Said promoter Dominic Pesoli, “Both guys have very similar records and are highly skilled warriors. David showed a lot of heart winning his fight with Silverio Ortiz. I’ve seen quite a few of Hinojosa’s fights on TV and he’s a very tough kid who’s always in great fights. We’ve got 56 scheduled rounds of boxing on this card. Our fans should truly get their money’s worth and they should call ahead because I fully expect this card to sell out.” Tickets are available by calling 312-226-5800.
