Ricardo Mayorga Returns to Boxing: “Really? Really? I Would Rather See the Original Lineup of Menudo Get Back Together”
“Really? Really? I would rather see the original lineup of Menudo get back together.” – Antonio Martin RSR’s Number #1 reader and President of the Menudo Fan Club (Phoenix Arizona Chapter)
Sticking to its promise of bringing bigger, bolder main events to its loyal fan base in 2014, Classic Entertainment & Sports will kick off its Twin River Fight Series with former two-time world champion Ricardo “El Matador” Mayorga (29-8-1, 23 KOs) taking on Raul “El Toro” Munoz (22-16-1, 16 KOs) in the eight-round super middleweight main event on February 21.
The card also features the homecoming of Providence native undefeated super featherweight prospect Toka Kahn (9-0, 6 KOs), a former highly-decorated amateur and now fighting under the promotional guidance of Bob Arum’s Top Rank Boxing. Kahn will fight in his hometown for the first time since 2012 in a six-round bout.
“The Vermont Bully” Kevin Cobbs (7-1, 2 KOs) will end his year-long layoff in a four-round light heavyweight bout while Pawtucket, R.I., middleweight Thomas Falowo (10-2, 7 KOs) will return for the first time since his loss to Chris Chatman in July of 2012 in a separate six-round bout. The undercard also features the highly-anticipated return of unbeaten Springfield, Mass., welterweight Zack Ramsey (6-0, 3 KOs), who will star in a six-round bout, and the Twin River debut of Louisiana cruiserweight Alvin Vermall (1-0, 1 KO) fighting in a separate four-round bout.
