RONNY RIOS TO FACE GUILLERMO SANCHEZ IN APRIL 7 "S?LO BOXEO TECATE" MAIN EVENT AT THE PHOENIX CLUB IN ANAHEIM, CALIF. PhilBoxing.com Sat, 31 Mar 2012 LOS ANGELES, March 30 - Unbeaten junior lightweight favorite Ronny Rios will be put to the test at The Phoenix Club in Anaheim, California, on Saturday, April 7, when he squares off against tough Buffalo, New York native Guillermo Sanchez in the main event of TeleFutura's "S?lo Boxeo Tecate." The co-featured fight will see Oxnard's Hugo "The Boss" Centeno battle Gerardo Prieto in an eight round junior middleweight matchup. This night of world-class professional boxing presented by Golden Boy Promotions and sponsored by Cerveza Tecate. Doors open at 6:00 pm, the first bell rings at 7:00 pm and the TeleFutura broadcast begins at 11:00 pm ET/PT. Tickets, priced at $30 and $50, may be purchased online at www.flavorus.com/soloboxeo. A National Golden Gloves and two-time United States amateur champion, 22-year-old Ronny Rios (17-0, 8 KO's) is not only on his way to matching his amateur success as a professional, but surpassing it with stellar performances throughout his young pro career. A prospect on the verge of big things, Rios followed up a stellar 2011 that included wins over Georgi Kevlishvili and Roger Gonzalez with a rousing start to 2012 that featured an impressive knockout over then 9-2 Jeremy McLaurin in February. Born in Fajardo, Puerto Rico, but now making his home in Buffalo, New York, 23-year-old Guillermo Sanchez (13-5-1, 5 KO's) is a talented southpaw and a former WBC Youth and New York State champion looking to make a statement against the highly-touted Rios. A veteran of nearly five years in the professional game, Sanchez has faced plenty of top-notch competition, including World Champion Adrien Broner and California standout Dominic Salcido. In February, Sanchez dropped longtime contender Edner Cherry, only to lose a razor-thin decision, but plans on getting back in the win column on April 7 against Rios.
