In the 11th, Sosa shocked Fortuna, and everyone watching, with a TKO victory that made the Camden fighter a world champ.
Five months later, Sosa defended his crown in Monte Carlo against another betting favorite, Stephen Smith of Liverpool. Sosa dropped Smith in the second and kept his title with a unanimous decision.
On the strength and significance of these two victories, Sosa led the pack among all other Philly-based boxers, and earned the biggest award at the 10th Annual Briscoe Awards, which will be presented on Sunday, Oktobra 15, 2017, at Xfinity Live! Philadelphia, 1:00 PM.

Ruben Villa and Michael Dutchover remain undefeated with wins in Ontario, California

Leave a comment

NAFAHANA avy hatrany
Philadelphia, PENN./ORANGE, Kalifornia. (Fito. 25, 2017) – Heralded prospects, featherweight Reuben Villa and junior lightweight Michael Dutchover remained perfect with unanimous decision victories this past Zoma night in Ontario, California.
Reuben Villa (8-0, 4 Kos) of Salinas, Kalifornia. displayed his superior talent by out boxing veteran Ernesto Guerrero (26-20, 18 Kos) of Mexico through six rounds. Villa swept all three scorecards (60-54) to continue an impressive start to his young career.

In what was perhaps his toughest test to date, Villa performed admirably and displayed his quickness by darting in and out of danger, all the while landing power shots to the head and body.

“We had a game plan for Guerrero, and we executed it perfectly,” Villa said. “We gave him different looks and fought him from different angles. I don’t think he ever got comfortable.”

Villa is promoted by Banner Promotions and Thompson Boxing.

Dutchover (6-0, 4 Kos) of Midland, Tex. knocked down Mexico’s Carlos Flores (4-6-1, 3 Kos) in the opening round to get things going on his way to a unanimous decision sweep (40-35).

Throughout the fight, Dutchover snapped his left jab to set up an inside attack that left Flores bruised and battered by the fourth round.

“I had a lot of success working off the jab,” said Dutchover, who is co-promoted by Banner Promotions and Thompson Boxing. “I’m happy with the win. I’ll rest for a little, and then I’ll be back in the gym working to get better.”

Philadelphia – On the brink of his first shot at a world title, super middleweight Jesse Hart commented on his March 18, 2016 fight against Dashon Johnson, which was named the “Philly Ady ny Taona”.
“That’s what it deserves,” Hart said about his 10-round thriller against Johnson. “I gave blood sweat and tears.”

Hart climbed to his feet and went on to win the decision after ten exciting rounds. It was a memorable fight on a great night of Philly boxing.
“I showed a tremendous amount of heart,” Hart said. “It was a war. I was prepared to die. I won that fight on heart. I had to dig down to the pit of my soul – dig down deep to find it, and to get it.”
Amin'ny October 15th, Hart and Johnson will be honored at the 10th Annual Briscoe Awards for their excellent fight and the page in Philly boxing history that they created together.
Mazava ho azy, first on Hart’s mind is his chance to win the WBO super middleweight championship Friday night in Tucson, NY.
