RISING STARS HIGHLIGHT UNDERCARD OF JAUREGUI-QUILES AT
THE
SEMINOLE COCONUT CREEK CASINO
Gaining supporters with each
successive outing, Heavyweight ‘Comeback Kid’ Kendrick
Releford has stunned boxing observers with his
resurgence over the last year; unbeaten Colombian
Middleweight Edison Miranda could be dubbed ‘The
Knockout Kid’ for his tendency to end fights before the
judges’ scorecards are read. On Thursday, June 16, at
the Seminole Coconut Creek Casino in Coconut Creek,
Florida, Warriors Boxing Promotions Inc’s latest phenoms
will thrill boxing fans once again as they highlight the
undercard of the 12 round IBF Lightweight Elimination
Bout between Ricky Quiles and Javier Jauregui.
This exciting night of
World-Class boxing is presented by Warriors Boxing
Promotions, Inc. in association with The Seminole
Coconut Creek Casino and Golden Boy Promotions. Doors
open at 6:30pm and the first bell rings at 7:30pm.
In the featured undercard bout on
June 16, streaking Heavyweight contender Kendrick
Releford of Fort Worth, Texas, will battle Akron, Ohio’s
David Polk (9-4) in a ten round matchup. Releford
(13-4-1, 5 KOs) has been a late bloomer in the sport,
rebounding from an 8-3-1 early pro record to win his
last five bouts, including victories over Elieser
Castillo, Ron Guerrero, and Ramon Garbey. The 23
year-old Texan currently holds the WBO Latino and IBF
United States Atlantic Coast Regional Championship
Titles. He is on the fast track to the top ten within
the coming year.
Also on tap at the Seminole
Coconut Creek Casino is an intriguing 12 round
Middleweight Championship bout between rising star
Edison Miranda (22-0, 21 KOs) and fellow prospect Jose
Varela (17-1, 13 KOs). Barranquilla, Colombia’s Miranda
is coming off his US debut on May 20, where he won an
impressive decision over rugged Sam Reese in a ten round
battle. Blessed with concussive power and a pleasing
style, boxing insiders believe the 24-year-old is
destined for great things in the Middleweight division.
But he will have to get past Chinandega’s Varela first;
no easy task since the former Nicaraguan Champion has no
shortage of dynamite in his gloves and is fresh off
back-to-back fourth round knockout wins in his native
country.
Rounding out the card on June 16
will be Ethiopian knockout artist Sammy Retta (17-2, 16
KOs), who faces hard-hitting Fort Wayne, Indiana native
Corey Bodd (7-6, 7 KOs) in a Light Heavyweight bout
scheduled for six rounds; and sensational Junior
Middleweight prospect Ed Paredes will open the show by
putting his 3-0 (2 KOs) record on the line in a four
round special attraction against an opponent to be
announced shortly. In Paredes’ last bout, on May 20, he
made his national television debut on ESPN2 by stopping
Jean Michel in two rounds.
