Pinto-Phillips on for tonight

Brazilian banger Kelson Pinto (rated #29 in the Boxingtalk ratings at junior welterweight) continues his comeback tonight at the Ontario Convention Center in Ontario, CA. Pinto, in his first major test since his loss to Miguel Cotto, takes on veteran former junior welterweight champion "Cool" Vince Phillips in a twelve-round bout for a regional welterweight championship. The card is being promoted by Maldonado Promotions, with first bell at 8pm. The undercard will feature some Brazilian prospects, and a female bout.
