大西洋城, 新澤西州 (七月 14, 2017)–中量級競爭者, 托馬斯 “玉米片” 拉曼納 將在 喬治·索薩 為 WBC Silver Latino Welterweight 錦標賽 in the ten-round main event that will headline a great night of championship boxing on 星期六, August 19th 在 The Claridge Hotel 在 大西洋城.
The show is expected to be the 9th sold-out show at the Claridge promoted by Rising Promotions.
“Rising Promotions is looking forward to ending the Summer with another great show here at the Claridge. We have a good line up on the card so we are hoping for a packed house, and we are looking forward to staging our first championship bout,” said Debbie LaManna of Rising Promotions.
The championship bout is the first major sanctioning body championship bout in Atlantic City in almost three years. (Kovalev vs Hopkins, 十一月 8, 2014).
LaManna will be looking to win his first belt in the welterweight division. A win will propel him into the rankings as he looks for a high profile bout later this year.
該 25 year-old LaManna has a record of 23-2 九擊倒, and he is currently riding a two fight win streak, and is undefeated in 2017.
The six-year professional is 4-1 as a Welterweight and has credible wins over Kendal Mena, and Ayi Bruce as well as his last two victories, which have come over Eduardo Flores and Carlos Winston Velasquez, who stepped into the ring with 52 和 54 fights under their belt.
LaManna dropped a ten-round unanimous decision to undefeated Dusty Hernandez-Harrison (30-0-1 16 KO的) on September 15th, 2016 in a very high intense battle that was contested for the USBA Title. The LaManna/Harrison fight is a candidate for Fight of the Year for local Philadelphia boxing award “Briscoe Award”
This will be LaManna’s 6th fight at The Claridge, and his 16th fight in Atlantic City.
“This is a great blessing for me. I get another shot at a meaningful title that will place me in the right spots with a victory. I have seen Sosa fight on our last card and he is very game, durable and strong so I cannot take him lightly. Training camp is intense, we know what we are gunning for so come August 19th, it’s going to be dark places for George Sosa,” Said Thomas LaManna.
Sosa of Philadelphia, PA有紀錄 15-9 with all victories coming by way of knockout.
該 30 year-old Sosa is a high energy fighter, who has fought the likes of Emmanuel Taylor, 薩米瓦斯奎茲, Wilkens Santiago, Javontae斯塔克斯, Terrell Gausha and Ray Robinson.
