Next Monday night, renowned Tijuana, MX, manager and trainer Roberto Sandoval will present a special fight card featuring all young local talent with all proceeds being donated to former IBF minimumweight champion VIctor Burgos.
Burgos suffered a brain injury in his challenge of current IBF super flyweight champion Vic Darchynian on the undercard of Vazquez-Marquez I last March.
Burgos has recuperated considerably but continues to struggle with medical bills.
In the main event on October 20th, Salvador Sanchez Jr (11-3-2, 6KO) will take on pro debuter Roman Armenta in a super featherweight eight round bout.
In a six round middleweight match up, Alvaro Aguilar (18-2-1, 16KO) faces Miguel Zuniga (9-1, 6KO).
Pavel Miranda (16-2, 8KO) who is coming off a tough loss in his last bout versus Ty Barnett will try to get back on the winning side when he matches up to Jorge Juarez (7-9-2, 2KO).
