Under Dawgs, Airtight Boxing Card for June 18 Has Changes

by Chris Morris

The Under Dawgs and Airtight Boxing show set for June 18th has had some shakeups. Fortunately Steve ‘Match Makin’ Mestas is on the case and keeping the show together!

Alan Lerma decided to pull out of his contracted bout with Ricky Rodriguez. Lerma’s trainer stating;

“Hello Steve. I have bad news..my fighter Alan backed out of the fight. Nothing I can do man. He said he has to go to Chicago to help his brother who apparently got in a lot of trouble over there. I am sorry I wish I had better news.”

So Lerma goes onto suspension and Luis Gerardo Avila from Arizona steps in. Avila is familiar to Colorado fight fans as he and Chris Galvadon went 6 rounds last year on a New Generation card. Galvadon won an easy decision.

Next was Josh Wilson pulling out of his bout with Tomas Nolasco.

“This one stings quite a bit. You put an 0-3 kid on vs 0-1 and the hometown kid pulls out? Who pays to bring in an opponent for a guy 0-3? His reasoning is ‘Im working a shit load of hours and im just not feeling it.’ That doesn’t sit well with me at all, you signed a contract, keep your word.”

But ‘In Steve We Trust’ as he was able to sub in Adan Gonzales on short notice to take on Nolasco in what should be a good fight. Both men are 0-1 and know they have the chance to get their hand raised. Gonzales is from the TLC camp and trained by Donald Camarena.

Lastly we have an undefeated prospect added to the card from Michigan. Mohamed ‘The Hawk’ Adam has been added in a four round lightweight bout. Adam is 5-0, 3KOs.

The main event is still intact with Kenny Lemos taking on Sylvester Barron for the RMB Regional Title. Corey Bernard vs Yomi Heredia is solid as is Manuel Medrano vs Katrell Straus. The show is set for June 18th at the Glitter Dome in Downtown Denver located at 3600 Wynkoop. Tickets are available by calling Chris Morris at 720-231-7724.
