LOS ANGELES , CA - Former world title challenger Alejandro Valdez will make his return to the ring this Saturday night against Genaro Carmago headlining a seven bout action packed card at the Explanada Tecate in Ciudad Obregon, Sonora Mexico .

The Valdez/Carmago super bantamweight bout is scheduled for ten rounds.

The 25 year old Valdez , 20-3-2 (14KO’s), had been undefeated in his previous seventeen bouts prior to challenging WBC bantamweight title holder Hozumi Hasegawa on October 16th on Tokyo, Japan . After a flurry of action in which Valdez appeared hurt but still defending himself, the bout was surprisingly stopped by referee Michael Griffin in the second round.

Said manager Frank Espinoza, “At the time we were very upset with the stoppage, but Alex has been in the gym training diligently and is focused on getting another world title shot in the near future. He’s excited to be fighting Carmago on Saturday night.”

Valdez is currently world ranked #11 by both the WBC and the IBF.

A native of Sinaloa, Mexico, Carmago brings a record of 24-6-0 (17KO’s) into the battle with Valdez. On February 6, 2009, he stopped Victor Rodriguez in the sixth round in his hometown to win the Mexican Pacific Coast Super Bantamweight Title.

The ESPINOZA BOXING CLUB was started in 1991 by Los Angeles area businessman Frank Espinoza.

Espinoza, born and bred in East Los Angeles, was a huge fan of the sport and eventually went on to establish himself as one of the top managers in the world of boxing.

In 2006, Espinoza was awarded the Manager of the Year award from the World Boxing Hall of Fame and inducted into the California Boxing Hall of Fame.

Espinoza’s management style has earned him numerous accolades from several respected print and internet boxing writers. In the September 2008 issue of Ring Magazine, Espinoza was praised for his outstanding handling of the career of junior featherweight world champion and “Pound for Pound” superstar Israel “EL MAGNIFICO” Vazquez.

Along with managing Vazquez also manages a young squad of talented and promising fighters composed of Luis Ramos, Carlos Molina, Abraham Lopez, Ronny Rios, Manny “Suavecito” Roman and Jesus “Pollo” Hernandez.

Among the world champions Espinoza has managed in the past are Martin “Gallito” Castillo, Enrique Sanchez, Isidro “ Chino ” Garcia and “Mighty” Mike Anchondo.
