It will be a busy week-end in Philadelphia and New Jersey Friday and
Saturday. Greg Robinson’s Power Productions returns to the National
Guard Armory in NE Philly with 54 rounds of scheduled boxing with 11
bouts of 4’s and 6’s with some hot local talent on Friday.
Dee Lee Promotions will be at the Tropicana Hotel & Casino, in
Atlantic City, NJ, on Friday with the return of Dorin Spivey defending
his NABA lightweight title. Saturday night at the Essex County College,
in Newark, NJ, hometown boxer Michael Anderson marks his return home

Puerto Rican Miguel Cartagena, 5-0 (3), of Philadelphia will headline at
NGA against a 3x postponed fight with Mexican Jose “Chilli” Rivera,
3-6-2 (1), of New Rochelle, NY, in a bantamweight 6. Cartagena is a very
popular former amateur champion and is looking forward to finally
getting it on with Rivera. The latter defeated Angel Cruz who was 5-1 a
year ago and then dropped 4 straight to all unbeaten boxers by decision.
A pre-fight press conference was held at Chickie & Pete’s Monday
night by promoter Robinson. Rivera could not attend but he won’t be a no
show come Friday per Caragena’s manager Moz Gonzalez. “We have been
waiting to fight this guy 3 times and will be glad to get it out of the
way”, said Gonzalez. He and co-manager Eddie Woods also promote the
Ennis brothers of Germantown.

light welter 6.

real Ramon Ellis, 3-7-2(2) shows up in this all Philly 6 round light
welter match. Ellis is coming off a first round knockout in Reading, PA.
Jason Sosa, 5-1-3, of Camden, NJ, is coming off a win in Bethlehem, PA,
after back to back draws in Philly with unbeaten Angel Ocasio. His

returning to the ring after a 2-year lay-off after scoring a win in his
last fight. This is a lightweight 6 rounder.
Frank Trader, 8-1 (2), of Philly is coming off his first loss, a
disputed one in New England and looking forward to meeting Georgi
Kevlishvili, 12-3 (3), from the country of Georgia, now fighting out of
Russia where most of his fights have taken place. This promises to be a
battle of wills in a 6 round super featherweight match. Trader’s people
were very local at the press conference while Kevlishvili was taking in
as much as he could understand.
