RED OWL BOXING: BOXFEST XVI – OFFICIAL WEIGH-IN RESULTS

PhilBoxing.com




COMMERCE CASINO (OCTOBER 10, 2025) DAZN BROADCAST – 11:00 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. PT

LOS ANGELES (Oct. 9, 2025) – Red Owl Boxing ‘s Boxfest XVI is set to deliver a night of high-stakes action and defining moments at the Commerce Casino in Los Angeles tomorrow, Friday, October 10, following today’s official weigh-ins. The action-packed card will stream live worldwide on DAZN.

Red Owl Boxing’s debut show in California will feature an explosive main event as Deonte “Lay Em Down” Brown (16-0, 11 KOs) of Morgan City, Louisiana, takes on Grimardi Machuca (17-2, 14 KOs) of Camden, New Jersey, for the WBA Continental Americas Super Featherweight Title. A highly anticipated tilt between two knockout artists, Boxfest XVI’s main event promises to deliver an electric showdown in the heart of Southern California.

Also featured is a long-awaited rematch between Saul “The Beast” Sanchez (21-4, 12 KOs) and Edwin Rodriguez (12-9-2, 5 KOs). Known for his aggressive style and fan-friendly fights, Sanchez has built a reputation as one of Southern California’s most exciting bantamweights and is eager to make a statement in his comeback after nearly a year out of the ring. Standing in his way is Rodriguez, a 13-year veteran who has faced a deep roster of tough opposition throughout his career. Rodriguez enters the bout hungry to pull off an upset and derail Sanchez’s path back toward title contention in their scheduled eight-round bantamweight clash.

In addition, 2020 U.S. Olympian Shakilya Ellis (formerly known as Rashida) will make her professional debut when she faces seasoned veteran Maria “Polvorita” Salinas (27-12-6, 7 KOs) in a six-round featherweight contest. In a homecoming bout of sorts, Anaheim’s Jessie Mandapat (9-2-1, 5 KOs) searches for a career defining victory as he squares off against Pennsylvania’s Cornellio Phipps (5-0, 2 KOs).

Tickets for Boxfest XVI are available now at RedOwlBoxing.com.

Additionally, a preliminary fight card with nine thrilling bouts will be available for purchase on Starfund.stream.

Boxfest XVI takes place on Friday, October 10, 2025 at the Commerce Casino, located at 6131 Telegraph Rd, Commerce, CA 90040. Must be 21. Play responsibly. Gambling problem? Call 1-800-GAMBLER or visit www.problemgambling.ca.gov
