This friday night the Sweet Science returns to Hartford's Civic Center with a 9 bout fight card promoted by DiBella Entertainment, SMS Promotions and BossLady Promotions, to be aired live on ESPN2 in the second-to-last broadcast of the longtime weekly boxing show. In the main event, unbeaten Reynaldo Ojeda goes up against perennial scrapper Monty Meza Clay in a 10 round lightweight bout. And in the co-feature, CT's Luis "KO King" Rosa takes on Jonathan Perez in a clash of unbeatens where one guy's O has gotta go.
Twenty-six year old lightweight Reynaldo Ojeda, of Puerto Rico, is 16-0 (9) and will be making his second time through the ropes this year on Friday night. His last bout was a ten round UD win over Sergio Villanueva at the end of February. In Monty Meza-Clay, 36-4 (22), Ojeda will be facing his best opponent to date and a complete and dangerous fighter who was in two of the best TV fights of 2014.
Luis KO King Rosa picked up a quick kayo over Ernesto Guerrero on the Rising Warriors promotion on Easter-eve last month and will face 9-0 (6) Jonathan Perez of Minneapolis, Minnesota on Friday night. Perez will be fighting for the first time in 2015 on Friday night and is coming off a rematch, stoppage victory over Antwan Robertson six months ago.
