By Jake Donovan - Sammy Vasquez Jr. might have been the sport’s best-kept secret heading into 2014. Now fans can’t get enough of the welterweight prospect; neither can his well-known promoter.
“My goal is to get these kids more consistently fighting,” says Mike Tyson, the face of Iron Mike Productions, who signed Vasquez Jr. earlier this year. “Keep staying active, working.”
Vasquez Jr. has put in plenty of work in 2014, preparing for his sixth fight on the year as he faces Alberto Mosquera in a scheduled 10-round welterweight bout Friday evening at CONSOL Energy Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
The same venue played host to the unbeaten southpaw’s last ring appearance, a thrilling 9th round knockout of James Stevenson on a card that also saw a Fight of the Year contender emerge in Monte Meza-Clay’s 10th round knockout of Alan Herrera. Many hailed the August doubleheader as the best U.S. TV card of the year, and it only makes sense to bring back the winners for this Friday’s show, which airs live on beIN Sports Live.
