Rick Lopez Sr., Devon Lopez and Ricky Lopez Jr. have gone to great lengths making sure their New Generation Promotions fight cards are both entertaining and competitive, this card having 10 exciting matchups.

Several bouts of interest include: Donovan ‘Slick D’ Estrella (6-0, 2 KO’s) continuing his pursuit of a World Championship, this 135 lbs. bout with Antoine ‘The President’ Knight (3-13, 1 KO) an increase in competition level.

Back on August 16th here in Denver, Ricky Lopez, Jr. dispatched of the Merrilville, Indiana, residing Knight in just 2 rounds, Estrella looking to put on a show for his fans sending Knight back home to Indiana even earlier than Lopez Jr.

Juan ‘Chago’ Santiago (14-12-1, 8 KO’s) takes on Las Cruces, New Mexico, residing Jose ‘Shorty’ Salinas (6-1, 3 KO’s) in a scheduled for 6 rounds light welterweight bout.

‘Chago’ looks to get back in the ‘W’ column, his last bout back in March of this year a 3rd round TKO loss in Puerto to talented and fast rising Puerto Rican star Felix Verdejo (15-0, 11 KO’s), Salinas another stern test for ‘Chago’.

Quickly making a name in the cruiserweight division, Colorado’s heavy-handed Donald Cobb (3-0, 2 KO’s) takes on Canadian Jordan Smith (2-0-1, 1 KO) in a 4 rounds bout, a quick Cobb KO to be expected.

Popular Denver featherweight Chris Galvadon (4-0, 1 KO) battles Dick Chambers (debut) in a scheduled 4 rounds bout where Chambers may find himself in trouble early.

The main event features Colorado Springs’ super middleweight Izaac Cardona (9-2, 9 KO’s) in a scheduled for 8 rounds bout against Earlsboro, Oklahoma, residing Zachariah Kelley (3-6, 3 KO’s).

Cardona is coming off back-to-back split decision losses, Kelley sure to pay that frustration price, an all-out attack from Cardona sealing Kelley’s fate rather early.

Earlier action will include: Maureen Riodan vs Angela Hayes, Eddie Moreno vs Emanuel, Adam Botterill vs Andrew Scripter (exhibition), Antonio Diaz vs Jose Marquez and Joey Montoya vs Dennis Morris.
