“New Blood” Show Under the Stars
Live boxing’s back in the Inland Empire as Thompson Boxing Promotions’ “New Blood” show takes place THIS Friday, August 21 at the Omega Products Outdoor Arena in Corona, Calif.
If you haven’t been to this popular outdoor event yet, you should make your way out to the City of Corona to see some good-action bouts under the stars. This is one of my favorite events of the year; the warm summer breeze is perfect as the action sizzles on the canvas.
Through the years, Thompson Boxing’s (TBP) Ken Thompson and Alex Camponovo have provided fireworks in the ring for fight fans in the Southland and beyond. And this Friday evening will be another hot August night when the prizefighters go toe to toe to get that victory. Six bouts are on tap ranging from the bantamweight division all they way to the heavyweights.
Bantamweight Carlos Carlson will defend his WBC Latino Championship belt versus Pedro Melo in an eight-round battle. And popular draw LaRon Mitchell is also on the card in what promises to be an exciting night for the crowd. Due to demand, tickets can also be purchased at the door (General Admission begins at 40.00) while available.
Thompson Boxing is known for building their hometown heroes, rising stars, future titlists, and current champs while giving boxing aficionados and new fans a chance to see tomorrow’s superstars up close. And the audience also gets the opportunity to meet some talented sluggers with plenty of new local fighters, veteran pugs and famous champs sitting ringside. You never know who you will be bumping fist with while attending the Thompson fights! The TBP ring card girls always get the crowd going with T-shirt giveaways for the lucky fans too.
At their “Locked N’ Loaded” show last month, spectators got to see Daniel “The Baby-Faced Assassin” Roman win the NABA Super Bantamweight title in a ten-round clash against Daniel “Chato” Noriega. They also got to witness SoCal punchers Artemio Reyes Jr., Isaac Zarate, Kaliesha West, Lissette Medel, Juan “Pochito” Reyes, Rodolfo “El Gato” Gonzalez, Albert Davila, Richard Contreras, Danny Hernandez, ring announcer Lupe Contreras and more joining forces in the ring. Check out the snapshots from this spirited fight night.
And this Friday’s bash at Omega promises more fury inside the ropes.
Don’t miss out on this annual summer showdown in Corona!
