Thompson Boxing Sets it's 2017 Schedule
By Steve Kim
For over 15 years Thompson Boxing has consistently been one of the most successful club shows in the country. Running the bulk of their cards from the Doubletree Hotel in Ontario, California, they have been able to develop the likes of Tim Bradley and Mauricio Herrera.
They are ready to start their 2017 campaign.
"We're ready to do,' 'said Alex Camponovo, the General Manager and Matchmaker for Thompson Boxing. "We start on February the 10th in Ontario. We're going to have shows pretty much every month.. Some months we're going to go twice a month. We'll be busy."
Camponovo says that highly touted prospect, Ruben Villa, will appear on that February 10th card. Villa, was signed to a co-promotional deal with Thompson Boxing and Banner Promotions last summer and now has a mark of 3-0(2 KO's). The two companies, which have a solid working relationship, have been on the hunt for new talent.
"We have Ruben Villa we have Michael Dutchover, we're still working on another one we should have wrapped up in the next couple of weeks,'stated Camponovo."We're trying to find those blue-chip guys who didn't get fortunate enough to be on the U.S. national team or their countries in the Olympics but nonetheless are real talented kids. So we're emphasizing on some of those kids."
And you can expect to see these prospects on these cards.
"We're set up for the entire year,"said Camponovo.
