All-Action Rene Tellez Giron Throws Hands with Power Punching “Mayhem” Maliek Montgomery in Lightweight Co-Feature

(March 25, 2026) – This Saturday, March 28, (6:00 pm EDT/3:00 pm PDT) ProBoxTV returns to Thunder Studios in Long Beach, California, for a special early edition of heart-stopping, action-packed “The Contender Series” boxing done the ProBoxTV way: 50/50 MATCHUPS WHERE RUNNERS, HOLDERS AND LOW-VOLUME PUNCHERS ARE NOT WELCOME!

Presented by Robert Garcia, Garry Jonas (Pro Box Promotions), and Sampson Lewkowicz (Sampson Boxing), in the 10-round bantamweight main event, comebacking Mexican warrior Bryan “Latino” Acosta (20-2, 8 KOs) of Hermosillo, Sonora, will collide with two-time world title challenger and longtime top-flight contender Ronny Rios (34-5, 17 KOs) of Santa Ana, California, in a crossroads battle with career fortunes on the line.

And in the 10-round lightweight co-featured bout, all action Rene “El Bravo” Tellez Giron (22-5, 13 KOs) of Queretaro, Mexico, will face power punching “Mayhem” Maliek Montgomery (20-2, 18 KOs) of Las Vegas via Macon, Georgia

Future Stars series action will start the night with several competitive matchups between rising prospects who are hungry to climb the ladder.

In an eight-round super lightweight showdown, Leonardo Rubalcava (10-1-1, 4 KOs) of Jurupa Valley, California via Teocaltiche, Jalisco, Mexico, will take on Juan Antonio Llanes (12-2-1, 7 KOs) of Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mexico.

In a six-round super welterweight battle, KJ Waialae (3-0, 2 KOs) of Waianae, Hawaii, goes to war with knockout punching Monray Marable (2-0, 2 KOs) of Lancaster, California.

And to get the ball rolling in a four-round lightweight matchup with some international flair, Cooper O'Connell (3-0, 3 KOs) of Logan City, Queensland, Australia will make his North American fighting debut against Jorge Garcia Manrriquez (2-0, 2 KOs) of Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico.

“We just did a world championship fight, now we’re shifting gears to a throwback night of ‘make or break’ action fights,” said ProBoxTV CEO and Founder, Garry Jonas. “These shows are where many of our best fights happen. 50/50 matchups with careers possibly on the line tend to bring the best out of both fighters. Ronny Rios is coming off a championship loss to Nick Ball, so it’s ‘do or die’ for him. Bryan Acosta is also coming off tough losses to Ramon Cardenas and Sulaiman Segawa. He’s in a ‘now or never’ position too.

“Our co-main could have easily been the main event. Rene Tellez just had a great performance against Jordan White. He’s looking to keep his momentum going. Maliek Montgomery is coming off a tough loss where he threw 1000 punches. This is another ‘must win’ fight for both guys and a guaranteed all-action fight.

“Plus, we got some young studs on the Future Stars portion of the show. KJ Waialae is back. Cooper O'Connell is making his debut from Australia. I’m looking forward to seeing them fight as well.”

Tickets for ProBoxTV’s The Contender Series start at $100 and are available HERE. Thunder Studios is located at 20434 S Santa Fe Ave., in Long Beach.
