Peltz and Rogers also do the matchmaking and will have 7 other bouts including Allentown’s Jerome Rodriguez, 6-0-1 (2), in his biggest fight to date against Darnell Jiles, Jr., 9-3-1 (3), of Rochester, NY, while Easton’s Arturo Trujillo, 3-0 (1), takes on Pablo Sanchez, 1-0 (1), of Greenwood, IN.

In the 8 round super featherweight division co-feature “red hot” Jason Sosa, 10-1-3 (6), of Camden, NJ, is riding a 5 fight knockout streak and unbeaten in his last 9 fights (7-0-2). It will be his third fight at the Sands. His opponent Chazz McDowell, 6-3-1 (1), of Yonkers, NY, is coming off a draw with 7-0 Amos Cowart.

The trainer and co-manager (along with Adrienne Soto) of Sosa, Chino Rivas will also be in the corner of his son Nathaniel Rivas, 1-0 (1), against debuting Johnathan Williams, of Allentown in the light welter division. Philly’s Terrell James, 1-1 who gave Trujillio a good fight on the last Sands card will meet Carlos Moore, 0-1, of VA Beach, VA, at light welter and two debuting welter’s Ismael Serrano, of Bethlehem and Jean Hernandez, of the Bronx, NY.
