Two Boxing Title Fights Announced

By Media report on Doghouse Boxing (Oct 24, 2008) DoghouseBoxing.com

Friant , CA , October 24 – A very good boxing show just became a great boxing show, as promoter Roy Englebrecht announced today that he has added a second Championship Bout to the Table Mountain Casino show set for Tuesday, November 18th. This second title fight will featured two undefeated female warriors, when 10-0 Kaliesha West meets 4-0 Ava Knight for the IFBA North American Bantamweight Belt. This mega female title bout will be the Semi Main Event to the Main Event which features an IBA World Championship Fight.

In the unpredictable world of boxing, dreams can come true or be broken with a single punch. No one knows this better than veteran contenders Roger ‘Speedy’ Gonzalez and Frankie Archuleta, but on Tuesday, November 18th, these fighters will have the opportunity to achieve a lifelong dream of becoming a world champion when they square off at Friant’s Table Mountain Casino for the IBA World Junior Lightweight crown.

This high-impact night of professional boxing presented by Table Mountain Casino in association with Roy Englebrecht Events, will take place at the Table Mountain Casino Events Center in Friant , California . This combative sports series was launched in 2007, and not only has it featured both boxing and mixed martial arts events that have met with a rousing reception from fight fans, but the series is also presenting its fourth world title fight in just two years on November 18th.

Chino, California’s Roger ‘Speedy’ Gonzalez (27-2, 18 KOs) is a former bantamweight contender who won his first 23 fights and the NABO title before losing to future world champion Jhonny Gonzalez in 2004. Opting to step away from the game later that year, Gonzalez would eventually return to the ring at his optimum weight of 130 pounds in 2007, and the 30-year old’s 2-1 record in his comeback has shown that he still has what it takes to compete against and beat the best the junior lightweight division has to offer.

The pride of New Mexico, Bernalillo’s Frankie Archuleta (25-5-1, 14 KOs) has garnered a devoted fan following for his warrior’s heart and willingness to go to war each and every time the bell rings. An 11 year pro, this former NABA champion built his reputation in memorable battles with Kevin Kelley, Rocky Juarez, Emmanuel Lucero, and in two fights which he split with Johnny Tapia. Now ready to challenge for the IBA crown, Archuleta – who is coming off an eighth round TKO win over Armando Cordoba – is eager to put another title belt around his waist on November 18th.

What will certainly have world title implications, the Kaliesha West vs Ava Knight IFBA North American title fight will be watched closely by every female boxing fan. Not because you have two quality and undefeated fighters facing each other, but with a win, both are in line for a world title shot in the first half of 2009. West out of the Morena Valley is 10-0 with two knockouts in her two year career is trained by her father Juan West. Knight from Chico , is 4-0 with two draws and two knockouts, including in 2008 a win over 9-2 Noriko Kariya and a draw with title holder Elena Reid

The five bout card will also feature undefeated Aaron Martinez who at 8-0 will face 10-6 Hilario Lopez in a six round welterweight bout, and Fresno ’s tough middleweight Loren Myers meeting Orange County ’s Derrick Thomas.

Doors open at 6pm, and the first bell rings at 7pm. Tickets, priced from $50 to $30, are available at the Table Mountain Casino box office or online at www.tmcasino.com.
