Victor Castro: record, next fight and profile →
While significant fight cards take place in Las Vegas over the weekend, pro boxing makes its return to the 'Valley of the Sun.' Lightweight Victor Castro will fight Angel Martinez on Saturday night at the Celebrity Theatre in Phoenix, Ariz. The eight round bout will headline an "Iron Boy 23" card, presented by Iron Boy Promotions.
Emilio Garcia continues to enjoy a bounceback campaign in 2014. The 23-year old super bantamweight prospect picked up his second straight win with a six-round decision over Juan Benavides. Scores were 60-54, 59-55 and 58-56 in favor of Garcia (9-1-1, 2KOs), who has now won twice in less than two months after having suffered the first loss of his career last summer. Benavides dips to 4-5-1 (1KOs), now winless in his last five starts.
