Solo Boxeo co-feature announced!

PRESS RELEASE: Jose Hernandez, 19-2 with 13 KOs, will square off this Friday night against Antonio Escalante, 10-1 7 with KOs, in the ten-round featherweight co-feature at Cicero Stadium, in Cicero, Illinois. Hernandez is riding a thirteen-bout winning streak, most recently taking a ten-round unanimous decision over Panamanian Armando Cordoba two months ago. A native of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, Hernandez spoke over the weekend of his upcoming bout. "I've seen tapes of him and he throws a very high volume of punches, he's probably has faster hands than I do but I feel that I'll be stronger and I've got much more experience," he said. The main event on the Solo Boxeo televised card is a terrific twelve round junior middleweight showdown between Marco Antonio Rubio, 32-2-1 (29 KOs) and Aslanbek Kodzoev, 16-1-1 (11 KOs). Doors for this event will open at 6pm, with the first bell scheduled for 7pm. Tickets, starting at $30 can be purchased in advance by calling 312-226-5800.
