Your official invite to the 1st Best In Boxing Awards Show
After close to six years of promoting the Sport of Boxing and showcasing it throughout Baja California with the help of Global Sports Streaming’s Best in Boxing, the now, well-schooled Borizteca Boxing Promotions Group has plans to set up shop in San Diego on a permanent basis. This will no doubt complement the already successful WCK Muay Thai, Epic Fighting MMA and the many gyms now affiliated with USA Amateur and Pro Boxing. And what better way to introduce yourself to local boxing fans but to host a shindig at the popular Four Points By Sheraton Hotel in Kearny Mesa. That’s what Borizteca Boxing Promotions has planned for Saturday evening, December 2, 2019 when more than a few standouts will be honored. For example, they invited Hall of Fame boxer Paul “The Ultimate” Vaden who was born here on December 29, 1967. The former IBF Light Middleweight champion compiled an outstanding record of 29–3 with 16 knockouts. Also in attendance they’ll have Olympic hopeful, featherweight Andrea Medina, plus other standouts like super lightweight Antonio “Relentless” Orozco, welterweight Kevin Torres, lightweight Ricardo Valdovinos, etc., etc. If you’re a boxing fan, it’s likely you’re already familiar with the above gents and ladies. (top, left) You have the Arellano brothers, Israel and Antonio, with their support staff. While Antonio was considered a great boxer, his brother Israel was a knockout artist. Next, is one of the glamorous ring card gals Bianca Soto shown here with the popular Julian “Shrek” Garcia. Next, we have three of the many sportscasters who have recounted the blow by blow action of a Borizteca Boxing show: (l to r) trainer Carlos Barragan Jr. of the House of Boxing, Marcos Villegas of Fight Hub TV and finally Chris “The San Diego Kid” Martin who in his day won not only the Calif. State featherweight title but the WBO & WBC International Titles. Bottom (l to r) it’s Paul Vaden, the only San Diego boxer to win a World Title. Then we have Carlos Barragan Jr., Saul Rios Borizteca Boxing Promotions CEO, welterweight sensation Kevin Torres, plus his most loyal manager Cristina Carrillo..A quiz for you: here we have some of the ladies and gents (star power) who have helped promote the various Borizteca Boxing shows. Without reading the following caption, how many can you name? (l to r) Diego Magdaleno, Amaris Quintana, Tania Enriquez. Then, after announcer Pablo Flores, we have promoter Saul Rios, boxer Sandra “the Black Pearl” Robles, Hector Velazquez, Antonio Orozco and our final standout is from the House of Boxing Training Center in Paradise Hills. Can you name him?
And now, we have the names of the chosen ones who were selected from the many Borizteca Boxing Fight Cards in 2019. No doubt the following performers/fighters went above and beyond in their attempt to impress/entertain the boxing faithful, either those watching at home on Best In Boxing or those who were at sitting ringside.
How many shows have you gone to lately where they’ve had a Hall of Fame referee of the stature of Joe Cortez with an assist from an Emmy Award-winning Television personality like Courtney Perna handling the Master of Ceremonies duties and handing out the sponsors’ soon to be treasured, smart-looking trophies? Plus, in the “Prospect of the Year” category, there’s Elvis himself. All kidding aside, the 23-year-old, 5’10½” southpaw Elvis Severino RodriguezMendoza from the Dominican Republic (5-0-1, 5 KOs) is a force. Already with six fights in one year, Rodriguez appears to be on the fast track to be a lightweight contender, following in the footsteps of Mr. Devin Haney. Of course, the competition in this year’s 2019 Prospect of the Year appears to be very competitive to the point of being labeled fierce.
(left) In the running for the 2019 Amateur Standout is Jonny Mansour from The Bomber Squad Academy of El Cajon, Calif. Also, a possible USA Olympic Team hopeful is Andrea Medina of the Bound Boxing Academy of Chula Vista, Calif. and finally we have the combatants now being considered for the Fight of the Year winner, (l to r) Ricardo Valdovinos from San Diego and Giovannie Gonzalez from far away Stockton, Calif.
