Undefeated Prospect Jose “El Chon” Zepeda Returns To Oceanview Pavilion on January 27th

Top Rank, in association with Bash Boxing, Art of Boxing Promotions, and the Oceanview Pavilion, brings Solo Boxeo Tecate on Unimas back to Port Hueneme, California on Saturday, January 17, 2015 at 6:00pm.

Boxing By The Beach will feature the return of world-ranked Mexican-American knockout artist, Jose “El Chon” Zepeda (21-0, 18 KOs). Ranked #7 in the world by the WBO and #12 in the world by the IBF, Zepeda will take on Rafael Cobos (15-5-5, 3KOs). Zepeda is a Southern California native, born in Long Beach and residing in La Puente. Zepeda sports an 86% knockout rate and was last seen in a 1st round destruction of former Dominican contender Victor Manuel Cayo (32-6). Cobos was unbeaten in 7 bouts since July 2010 before dropping a unanimous decision to former World Champion challenger Josesito Lopez (33-6) in September.

Boxing By The Beach will feature another young and undefeated prospect from the Top Rank stable, Alex Saucedo (16-0, 11KOs), who will be making his California debut. Saucedo, was born in Chihuahua, Mexico and raised in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma but he is no stranger to California. Saucedo became the first boxer from Oklahoma to be signed by Top Rank when Manny Pacquiao recommended him to the Top Rank brass after sparring sessions at the Wildcard Boxing Club with the then 17 year-old Oklahoman. Now a 16-fight veteran at just 20 years of age, Saucedo looks to 2015 as the year he shows the entire boxing world what the kid from the Sooner State is made of.

Boxing By The Beach will also feature some familiar names and faces to the legions of boxing fans in the Oxnard/Ventura areas. Two boxers with identical 5-1 records will take on each other as Oxnard native Abraham Lopez meets Bihal Mahasin in a 6 round welterweight affair. Also, adopted Oxnard sons, Daniel “Twtich” Franco (9-0-3, 6KOs) and Zachary “Kid Yamaka” Wohlman (8-2-1, 1KO) will appear in separate 6 round contests. Rounding out the card will be two undefeated prospects from Los Angeles, Luis Sedano (3-0) and Arnold Barboza Jr. (4-0).
