LaManna and Sosa chime in for this Saturday's WBC Silver Latino Welterweight title bout PhilBoxing.com Thu, 17 Aug 2017 CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING ON THE BOARDWALK!!! LaManna and Sosa Chime in for this Saturday's WBC Silver Latino Welterweight title bout at The Clardige in Atlantic City Atlantic City, NJ (August 16, 2017)--This Saturday night, Thomas LaManna will take on George Sosa in a ten-round bout for the WBC Silver Latino Welterweight bout that will headline a big 11 bout card at what is expected to be a sold out Calridge Hotel in Atlantic City. The show, promoted by Rising Promotions, is the 9th card that will be staged before a capacity crowd. Both main event fighters recently gave their final comments before Saturday's showdown. " I'm just ready to fight and I hope he is too. I encourage people to come to this action packed, stacked event. 12 bouts featuring some of the hottest prospects and a title fight," said LaManna. "I think LaManna is a boxer who has not fought anyone of my caliber yet, and unlike me, I have fought everyone," said Sosa. LaManna has been protected during his whole career, Do I think he will be easy? No. There is no such thing as an easy fight. He is his Mommy and Daddy;s baby. When he fought somebody with caliber, he lost." Despite his 15-9 record, Sosa knows a win can change his whole career. "This fight is for the WBC Silver title, and would definitely change my career. Before I would just take fights because I needed the money to take care of my family in Cuba. I was too busy partying, and not taking matters seriously. Like my last fight with Anthony Young, I arrived three days before the weigh-in, and I was 21 pounds over the weight. Not only did I make the weight, but I went the distance with a formidable opponent. Not this timeI went directly to Cuba to begin training."
