Hispanic boxers have made an unmistakable mark on the sport of kings. They constitute a large portion of the competitors, and many matches create a battle of culture and country as well as strength and agility. Tonight it’s Colombia -- famous for cocaine, delectable pan de bono, and the most beautiful women in the world -- versus Mexico -- famous for tequila, UFO sightings, and short people with big hats. Wiley veteran Cosme "Chino" Rivera, a Culiacán, Mexico native fighting out of Los Angeles (North Mexico), will take on Raúl “El Tendero" Pinzón, the Baranquilla native fighting out of Miami, for the WBA Fedecentro Welterweight Title Bout.
Rivera, trained by the legendary Jimmy Montoya, holds a 30-11 record, and at 31 years old, he’s still a force. But Pinzón is the rising and hungry young fighter, holding an impressive 51-1 record with 14 KOs. The rumble takes place tonight at 8 at Miccosukee Resort & Gaming, or you can catch the broadcast on Telemundo 51. Tickets cost $20 to $75 and can be purchased at www.ticketmaster.com.
