Emanuel Colon: record, next fight and profile →
Antonio ‘Tono’ Moran has finally his stride. Following years spent as a lightweight gatekeeper, the 27-year old from Mexico City has found his calling at junior welterweight. Proof of such comes in his most recent performance, a scintillating 6th round knockout of Emanuel ‘Pinky’ Colón to cap their non-stop slugfest Friday evening at Osceola Heritage Park in Kissimmee, Florida.
Emanuel ‘Pinky’ Colon and Antonio Moran are ready to meet at the crossroads. Both boxers did their part to move forward with their junior welterweight regional title fight, which headlines Friday’s edition of Boxeo Telemundo. The show airs live from a crowdless Osceola Heritage Park in Kissimmee, Florida, which has housed every boxing event of the series since the pandemic.
With the date originally budgeted to take place in upstate New York, there was initial concern that Emanuel ‘Pinky’ Colon wouldn’t be able to get in a fight in 2020. The fan-friendly Buffalo-based Boricua chose to make a compromise in order to ensure he wouldn’t stay out of the ring any longer than necessary. With that comes a return 52 weeks after his last bout, as the streaking junior welterweight knockout artist faces Mexico City’s Antonio ‘Toño’ Moran this weekend at Osceola Heritage Park in Kissimmee, Florida (Friday, Telemundo, 12:00 a.m. ET).
Miami, Florida: After a successful Boxeo Telemundo summer series, Tuto Zabala Jr's All Star Boxing, Inc announces its return on October 2nd. All Star has set up residency at the Osceola Heritage Park in Kissimmee, Florida, running shows continuously for 4 Fridays in a row during their seasonal series. During their summer series several weeks ago, the TV audience was able to see a lot of upsets and toe to toe action as customary with the most famous boxing series on Hispanic television.
Emanuel ‘Pinky’ Colon didn’t need long in order to leave a lasting impression. The rising junior welterweight prospect impressed in his U.S. televised debut, stopping Mexico’s Richard Zamora in the 1st round of their Telemundo-televised headliner Friday evening at Seneca Niagara Resort and Casino in Niagara Falls, New York.
A series of firsts await Friday’s edition of Boxeo Telemundo, save for the traditional Puerto Rico vs. Mexico theme in the evening’s main event. Emanuel ‘Pinky’ Colon and Richard Zamora both made weight for their scheduled 10-round regional junior welterweight title fight, which airs live on elemundo from the sold-out Seneca Niagara Resort and Casino in Niagara Falls, New York (Friday, 11:35pm ET).
