The Boxcino Tournament is Promoted by Banner Promotions and televised on ESPN's “Vrijdag Night Fights” (ESPN2 10 p.m. EN / 7 p.m. PT). The show op vrijdag is co-promoted through Thompson Boxing Promotions en Banner Promotions.
The undercard features crafty super bantamweight Isaac Zarate (10-1-1,1 KO) of Los Angeles against Fernando Fuentes (5-4-1, 1 KO) of Hemet, Calif. Outside of the two televised bouts, the 8-round fight between Zarate and Martinez is among the most eagerly anticipated fights of the night.
“Zarate is one of the most exciting, young boxers in the 122 pond. divisie,” zei Ken Thompson, voorzitter van Thompson Boksen. “He won’t blow you away with power, but his hand speed and work rate are definitely worth the cost of admission.”
“I’m looking forward to a great night of boxing,” zei Artie Pelullo, president of Banner Promotions. “It’s a great card all around, and the Boxcino finals will be fan friendly fights where two new world title contenders will emerge.”
Zarate, a southpaw, makes life difficult for opponents by using an unlimited energy supply to launch punches from all sorts of angles. He’s elusive in that he darts in and out of danger spots, which makes landing combinations on him a difficult matter.
“I try not to stay in the same spot for too long,” said the 23-year-old Zarate. “By moving and changing the pace, my opponents typically can’t time my movements.”
