On Friday, January 30th at Live! Casino Hotel Maryland in Hanover, Maryland, ProBoxTV will present another night of 50/50 matchups (live 7:00 pm ET/4:00 pm PT). Presented by Lamont Roach Sr.'s NoXcuse Promotions, the ten-round junior welterweight main event matches Bryan “Nino Maravilla” Flores (27-1-1, 16 KOs) of Juarez, Mexico against Dominican southpaw Starling “El Poli” Castillo (20-1-1, 13 KOs). In the ten-round co-feature, respected featherweight contender Sulaiman “The Ruler” Segawa (18-5-1, 7 KOs) out of Maryland but originally from Uganda, will face Rene “Zurdo” Palacios (18-0-1, 10 KOs) of Chihuahua, Mexico.
“I’m excited about starting the year off with a bang,” said ProBoxTV's founder and CEO, Garry Jonas. “I know Bryan Flores is a high-level 140-lb. fighter. His only loss was a controversial decision to Lindolfo Delgado. If you consider Delgado a top guy, arguably Flores beat him. He’s right there as a top guy. He’s fighting another top guy in Starling Castillo who last time out was dominant over Shinard Bunch. We’re happy they both decided to take this fight, and it will be another typical ProBoxTV fight between two guys who arguably could be ranked in the top ten going at each other in a 50/50 fun fight.”
“Segawa was super impressive against Bryan Acosta, a guy who gave Ramon Cardenas a hard time,” continued Jonas. “And before that fight, a lot of people think he beat Shu Shu Carrington. Segawa is a sleeper in the division. Despite having five losses, he might be the most dangerous threat to win a belt in the division. He’s 35, but after his performance against those two guys, I don’t know what he’s eating or drinking, but all fighters wish they could get a hold of it. This guy is a dark horse in the division taking on an undefeated guy who is a tough hombre. It’s going to be another exciting action fight and the epitome of ProBoxTV.”
In a ten-round supporting bout, lightweight Jordan White (19-2, 12 KOs) of Washington DC will face an opponent that is TBA. Tickets to attend ProBoxTV’s “The Contender Series” in person at Live! Casino Hotel Maryland are available from axs.com
