Manuel Gallegos: record, next fight and profile →
Raymond Ford's night didn’t end as early as it first seemed Saturday, but five months removed from surrendering his 130-pound title, he at least got the win over Orlando Gonzalez in Philadelphia.
"Two Kings" Jaron Ennis and Jesse Rodriguez avoided being dethroned by the scales on Friday, and so Saturday's show at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia in separate title fights will go on.
The Philadelphia card co-headlined by Jarron “Boots” Ennis and Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez will also feature Raymond Ford, Khalil Coe and Ernesto Mercado. The Saturday, November 9, bill at the Wells Fargo Center will see Ford return for the first time since Nick Ball relieved him of his WBA featherweight title in Saudi Arabia in June and the Camden fighter meets Orlando Gonzalez.
