By Reynaldo Sanchez

Las Vegas, NV - Bluewave Boxing will be present in full force for a scheduled ESPN doubleheader on February 3rd at Texas Station Casino. Within the undercard, the comeback of young Boricua fighter Juan Carlos Velásquez (10-1-0, 5 KO's), 27-years-old, will take place in a six round bout against an opponent to be determined. Juan Carlos is currently working with Cuban trainers Jorge Carpio and Rafael Ramírez at the GOLD GYM in Las Vegas. Juan Carlos, standing at 5'9, will soon rise to featherweight division.

Velásquez told us - “I am in excellent physical condition. I am taking this fight in substitution of my twin brother Carlos Iván, due to an injury. I always train and I am ready to rise in the ring to give my very best and I'm confident in getting the victory.”

Jorge Carpio told us - “Juan has not stopped, he is constantly in shape and he always places his trust in us. Juan is disciplined and he trains hard every day and at all times. When he goes out that night, you will see what I'm talking about.”
