Club Cancellations Negate Cantu Debut
Christian Center is Site of Fight Club
Posted: March 1, 2009

The late notice cancellations by two boxing clubs diminished the pool of fighters available for the first club show at the Fight Club’s new Waterford home, causing several planned fights to be scratched. One of those was the anticipated debut of Angelo Cantu.

The Waterford teenager is the son of professional boxer Pete Cantu.

Steven Masters of Unity Boxing lost his first fight after a bright start to his amateur career saw two wins recorded in his first two fights. Debuting Big House boxer Dominique Rocha scored a RSC win halfway through the first round after a barrage earned Masters an 8-count and then a wave off from the referee. In a bit of irony, Masters won his first fight by RSC also.

Entering the ring for the eleventh time, Antonio “Tony” Rodriguez lost a decision to Kronk’s William McElroy dropping to a still-respectable 60+ win percentage.

Downtown Boxing’s Kevin White won a decision over ABAA’s Jesse Varela while A-Square super-heavyweight Ryan Rawls defeated Richard Castillo of Unity.
