By Daniel Cloutier
MONTRÉAL — The GYM Group will present a boxing show for the
63th time at the Montréal Casino Saturday afternoon.In the
main event, the Montrealer super middleweight Shakeel Phinn
(19-2-1) will fight the Mexican Juan Carlos Raygosa
(12-14-3) in an eight rounder.
“Phinn is close to take part to a North American
championship,” said the scout of the GYM Group, Bernard
Barré. “Then, it’s important for him to maintain his
winning’s sequence.”
The main event was supposed to be a female world
championship. The Montrealer female Marie-Eve Dicaire
(14-0-0) was supposed to proceed to the first defense of her

test.

provincials des sports de combat) mentioned that Tejada got
a serious problem with her left eye, then, they cancelled
the bout.

face the Mexican Ismael Molina Moreno (2-0-0).

Colchado (6-3-1).
