The September 16th card will be held in Expo Palenque in Ciudad Sonora. The gifted Torres grew up in one of the roughest neighborhoods in Obregon, Colonia Cajeme, turning pro when he was only 16. A former WBC Youth Silver Champion, the 20-year-old Torres captured his WBC Latino lightweight crown in his last fight, taking a 10-round unanimous decision from Diego Andrade Chavez (14-6-2) in Ciudad Obregon. Torres will face a challenger to be determined in the 10-round main event. “September 16th will be th most stacked card we have done on CANALA TV,” Taylor said. “Torres is quickly becoming one of the most talked about names in Mexico since he won the WBC Latino Championship. Torres and the new CANELA BOXEO is can’t miss TV.” Also scheduled to be in action is another pair of talented Mexican lightweights, undefeated Marco Cota Moreno (8-0, 6 KOs) in his first scheduled 8-round bout, and Misael “Pichon” Urias (12-1, 9 KOs) in an 8-rounder. The 20-year-old Moreno was 146-4 as an amateur, highlighted by a bronze-medal performance at the 2015 National Tournament, in addition to winning a gold medal as National Champion. He was also a 5-time Sonora State Champion. Urias, 23, lost for the first time as a pro in his last fight, on the road in Montreal, to Mithieu Germain (20-2-1) by way of a competitive 10-round decision this past June 2nd. More details about this potentially explosive card will soon be announced.  |
