Kenny Lemos Inks Promotional Pact With Under Dawgs Boxing
Under Dawgs Boxing is proud to announce the signing of heavyweight Kenny Lemos to an exclusive 3 year promotional deal.
Lemos (14-9-1, 9 KOs) has graced the Mile High City boxing scene for more than a decade. His hulking figure and charisma has always made him a fan favorite, not to mention his lights out punching power.
With the finish line in sight, Chris Morris reached out to Lemos with hopes of helping one of his favorite fighters and people, finish his career in a respectful manner, “We need a solid 8-10 round fighter to carry the shows. We needed someone who isn’t afraid to take a loss in a compelling match up that sells tickets. Kenny has been in the ring with some of the very best including James Toney and Chris Arreola, he’s not afraid to FIGHT! Lemos and I trained at St. Joes together as amateurs under Ben Madrid. When I went to get my promoters license downtown, guess who I bump into? Kenny Lemos. I ask if he wants to fight on the show and he does. We negotiated his contract by text messages, while I was mowing the grass this weekend”, stated Chris Morris, founder of Under Dawgs Boxing LLC.
The ultimate goal of Morris and Lemos’ partnership is for Kenny to make one last run at a high profile fight, “I asked if he had one last run left him, he responded “Hell yeah, let’s do this!”, stated Morris.
Lemos will headline Under Dawgs Boxing first show as the lead promoter, “Dawg Fights I: ‘Out Of The Kennel'” on June 18th at the Glitter Dome. Lemos will battle Sylvester ‘Doc’ Barron of Seattle, Washington for the Rocky Mountain Boxing Regional Heavyweight Title.
The fights will be held at the Glitter Dome located at 3600 Wynkoop in downtown Denver. Doors open at 6pm with the first fight at 7:30. Other matched fight on the card include Ricky Rodriguez vs Alan Lerma, Josh Wilson vs Nolasco Tomas and Manuel Medrano vs Katrell Straus. Under Dawgs Director of Boxing Steve ‘Match Makin’ Mestas is working hard to find an opponent for Ernie Marquez as well.
