I-LOS ANGELES (August 22, 2023) – The boxing spotlight shifts back to the Great Northwest this Saturday night as rising super featherweight star Austin Brooks (10-0, 3 Kos) takes on dangerous Anthony Chavez (11-3-1, 3 Kos) in the 10-round main event on a highly competitive pro card, presented by Toro Promotions, Inc. and Whitfield Haydon Boxing, at the famed Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma, Washington.

“This card sticks with our theme of compelling regional fights along with club wars,” Haydon said. “More than a couple guys have a chance to get a verdict from the great jury that is the northwest boxing fan and see if they can create a fan base for themselves going forward.”

Brooks, 27, is stepping up in class against Chavez, a 2015 USA National Championships bronze medalist as an amateur, has yet to fight more than six rounds to date. Fighting out of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, Brooks, who has already fought several times on the ESPN platform, is coming off a six-round decision over veteran Diuhl Olguin this past March in San Diego.

Chavez, an old-fashioned fighter out of San Bernardino, California, is trained by well-known Southern Californian Henry Ramirez, who guided Chris Arreola and Josesito Lopez, phakathi abavelele more. Two fights ago, Chavez won a six-round majority decision over Olguin.

The six-round, co-featured event pits Seattle featherweight Gregory Cruz (5-2, 3 Kos) against Roberto Negrete (4-1-1, 2 Kos), of West Liberty, Iowa. Cruz is bouncing back from a six-round majority loss to Luis Gallegos (4-0) last April, while Negrete fought to a six-round split draw in his most recent action this past June.

Chief undercard support will be provided by undefeated Portland super lightweight prospect Lorenza Caldera (6-0, 3 Kos) and Filipino veteran boxer Jake “D’ Twins” Bornea (14-5-1, 7 Kos), the former WBO Asia Pacific Youth Flyweight titleholder.

Angel Rebollar (6-3, 3 Kos) is coming straight out of Compton (NJENGE) to face San Bernardino (NJENGE) super lightweight Esteban Munoz (7-3, 4 Kos) in a rare five-round bout. Rebollar was a 2019 USA Western Regional Junior Open Champion as an amateur.

Also fighting on the undercard, each in four-round matches, is Auburn, Washington lightweight Joshua Cadena (1-0, 1 KO), vs. Dan Hernandez (2-2, 1 KO), of Riverside, California; undefeated Puerto Rican welterweight prospect Axl Melendez Salgado (6-0, 4 Kos) vs. Tulsa’s Lyle McFarlane (2-1 1 KO), and San Antonio (TX) super lightweight Richard Ray Howell (4-3-2, 2 Kos) vs. Detroit’s Wesley Rivers (1-3).

With the fight up for grabs the two heavyweights traded hard shots in the 10th and final round that led the judges to rule the fight a 10-round split draw scoring the bout 97-93 Washington, 96-94 Mansour and 95-95.
“I think it’s a terrible decision,” wathi Washington. “I nakanjani won ukulwa. No doubt about it. I won the first four rounds for sure. I rested up a little bit in the middle. The last three or four, he wasn’t even touching me. He was chasing me around. He wasn’t landing any shots at all.
“My corner was telling me to just jab and throw straight punches. Ngase kokufika zonke isibhamu okuhle. Akazange nomhlaba yimuphi isibhamu okuhle. Ngingafuna ukwenza rematch uma uzokwenza kimi sengathi? Bheka ubuso bakhe, ukubheka indlebe yakhe. Bheka ubuso bami, Angizange ukuthatha noma yisiphi isijeziso. I Boxed kuye smart. Wayengagwegwesi nolaka, kodwa ngase kokufika zonke isibhamu.”

“Washington was a bit awkward, I was just trying to gauge the height difference and after three rounds tops of gauging the distance between him and I, I felt like I started pressing him, forcing the action, landing the most shots, and tearing his body up. He couldn’t take the body punches, he was running out of gas. He didn’t give the crowd a fight. He didn’t give himself a fight and that’s just a poor way of winning the fight or even getting a draw.”

The eight-round co-main event saw Cairo, Egypt’s Ahmed Elbiali (Manje 11-0, 11 Kos) control the fight from start to finish as he faced Mariano Hilario(Manje 13-4, 5 Kos) in a Yimpi ekukhanyeni sosondonzima.

In the iziqubu ukuvulwa kusihlwa, Michael Hunter (Manje 10-0, 7 Kos) outclassed fellow cruiserweight Jason Douglas (Manje 11-6, 4 Kos) dropping him in the second, third and fourth rounds. The first knockdown came at the end of the second round via a strong right hand. The third round saw a barrage of punches again at the end of the round that sent Douglas to the canvas. Ekugcineni, in the round wesine, Hunter battered Douglas until the bell, dropping him for the fourth time via a strong left hook.
