Greg Robinson’s Power Productions has scheduled over 50 rounds of boxing headling with Angel Ocasio, 6-0-1 (1), of Philadelphia and Jason Sosa, 4-1-2 (1), of Camden, NJ, for the vacant WPBF USBC Lightweight title over 8 rounds in a rematch of their January draw Friday night at the National Guard Armory in NE Philadelphia.

Rarely do two such prospects come right back in a rematch at this early stage of their career.  Both corners thought they were victorious in their January encounter at the same National Guard Armory promoted by Power Productions.  At the weigh-in Thursday night at Chickie & Petes, in NE Philly, Ocasio came in at 133 while Soto was 131 ½.  “I didn’t take my condition as seriously as I should have in the first fight but I am ready to go 8 rounds if necessary.  I have been sparring with Victor Vasquez and Kareem Cooley at the Front Street Gym,” said Ocasio.  

Per promoter Greg Robinson he proclaimed “we will have Julio Cesar Chavez, 107-6-2 (86), who held the WBC Super featherweight, WBC/WBA lightweight and WBC/IBF light welterweight titles along with his son, Julio Jr., 45-0-1 (31)the current WBC middleweight champion as guests”.  This in itself is an event!

Philly heavyweight Joey Dawejko, 6-0-1 (2), and Excell Holmes, 2-0-1 (1), of Buffalo, NY, will put their unbeaten records on the line over 6 rounds.  Dawejko is coming off a draw and Holmes is 2 days shy of a year since his last bout.  

Top prospect Miguel Cartagena, 4-0 (3), of Philadelphia will be in a 6 round bantamweight bout.  Tim Witherspoon, Jr., 6-2-1 (2), of Philadelphia will also be in a 6 round lightweight bout.  Venroy July, 10-0-2 (4), cruiserweight from Suitland, MD, was scheduled in a 6 but his opponent fell out and they are seeking a replacement.

In 4 rounder’s Isiah Seldon, 6-0 (3), of Atlantic City, and son of former heavyweight champion, Bruce Seldon, will venture out of NJ for the first time in meeting Randy “The Rattler” Campbell, 39-2 (2), of Bowerston, OH, in a super middleweight bout.

Brian “Wildman” Donahue, 2-1, of Philadelphia meets John “Church Boy” Bowman, 1-0-1 (0), of Dover, DE, in the super middleweight division.  Ukranian Georgiy Guralnik, 2-0 (1), meets Taffo Asongwed, 2-10-7 (0), of Montreal who has never been stopped, in a heavyweight match.  Philly welter Saud Clark debuts in a 4.  Travis “The Notorius” Peterkin, 4-0 (3), Brooklyn, NY, light heavyweight is also scheduled in a 4.

Robinson had close to a full house in January and with the matchmaking of Renee Aiken, he again expects at least that big of a crowd..
