Gooesn Tutor Promotions returns to Atlantic City on February 11 to stage a card that will be aired live on ShoBox: The New Generation. Taking place at Bally's, it will be the first card of 2011 that will be held in Atlantic City.
Rising super bantamweight contender Rico "Suavecito" Ramos (18-0, 10 KO) of California headlines the show, taking on Sonora Mexico's Alejandro Valdez (23-4-3, 17 KO) in the main event scheduled for ten rounds. The twenty-three year-old Ramos is coming off a 2nd round KO victory of Heriberto Ruiz this past November.
As you may remember, that bout was broadcast on ESPN2 as part of a "Salute to the Troops" special from Camp Lejuene, North Carolina. Up against a two-time title challenger in Valdez, Ramos hopes to fair better than the last Goosen Tutor promoted boxer to fight in an Atlantic City venue in Paul Williams.
In the co-feature, undefeated super middleweight Cornelius "Da Beast" White (16-0, 15 KO) of Houston makes his East Coast and TV debut against Chicago's Don "Da Bomb" George (20-1, 17KO). Even though George is coming off a tough loss, this is still a gigantic step up for the untested White.
With only two of his prior foes able to claim a winning record, it is debatable whether White's impressive KO % and streak of thirteen straight stoppage victories are a product of his own skill or his over-matched opponents' lack thereof. Expect fireworks when these two, both with something to prove, step into the ring.
Tickets priced at $75 and $50 may be purchased at www.ticketmaster.com, Ticketmaster retail outlets, Ticketmaster Call Center 800-745-3000 and Bally's Atlantic City (day of event).
