Bally's Fight Card Preview!

By John Wall

This Saturday after a long cold winter, the heat is on at Bally’s in Atlantic City when super middleweight prospects clash in the main event of a Pound for Pound Promotions eight bout professional card. Philadelphia’s Farah Ennis puts his unblemished record (17-0 11 KOs) on the line against the also unbeaten Oxon Hill, Maryland resident Alexander Johnson (10-0 4KOs) in a ten round contest.

This should be a serious test for Johnson making his Garden State debut after a standout amateur career. For the well traveled Ennis he looks to add to the momentum following his last bout at Harrah’s in Atlantic City when he TKO’ed Victor Lares for the NABF belt.

In the heavyweight co-feature the heavy handed Amir Mansour (12-0 9KOs) of Wilmington, Delaware will try for his lucky thirteenth win against Laredo, Texas native Hector Ferreyro (21-9 6KOs).

The other heavyweight fight of the evening will be a western shoot out when Los Angeles, CA’s Damian Wills (29-2-1 22KOs) steps in against durable Las Cruces, New Mexico resident Arron Lyons 12-9-1 9 KOs).

Also featured will be favorite son of Bayonne the city that put the “Garden “ in the Garden State Bobby Rooney (11-3-1 6 KOs) in his first bout 2009 when he squares off against Walter Foster (4-3-1 4 KOs) of Berkley, Missouri.

Locals Victor “The Viper” Valenzuela (8-1 1KO) of Passaic, Chris “Greetings from Asbury Park” Green (4-2 1KO) and popular junior middleweight Thomas LaManna (1-0), a senior at Millville HS, round off what should be a top night of boxing.
