TAMPA, Fla. – On Friday, February 10, 2012, Fight Night Productions and Ker’s WingHouse Bar & Grill® return to the A La Carte Event Pavilion for “WingHouse Fight Night.” The Tampa-area’s longest-running professional boxing series will be headlined by the Florida State Super Middleweight Champion, Jose “Cheloman” Alonzo (13-0-0).
“Cheloman,” from Spring Hill, Florida, won the Florida State Super Middleweight Title at the final “WingHouse Fight Night” show of 2011, earning a hard-fought decision over Sarasota’s Adam Jaco. February 10th will mark Alonzo’s third fight back since taking an eight-year hiatus from the sport. The winner of the 1994 district (Palm Bay) Golden Gloves in the 165-pound division has fought 12 of his 13 professional fights in the state, including his last seven fights in-front of a Tampa crowd.
Co-headlining the card will be undefeated and USNBC WBC Flyweight Champion Daniel “El Alacran” Lozano (10-0-0, 7 KOs). The Bowling Green, Florida native will be looking to keep his unblemished record in-tact and continue his quick rise up the flyweight rankings. Currently in the flyweight division, “El Alacran” is ranked seventh by the North American Boxing Association (NABA), 15th by the North American Boxing Federation (NABF), and 30th by the World Boxing Council (WBC).
In a feature bout, rising-prospect, middleweight Alphonso Black (2-0-0, 2 KOs) will look to continue his winning ways in front of his home crowd. The powerful middleweight is building quite the fan base at the A La Carte Pavilion by delivering two sensational knockouts in his previous fights.
The night will also see the professional debuts for two familiar names to boxing fans in the Tampa/St.Petersburg, as Kenny “Right Hook” Lacy and female sensation Noemi Bosques look to take their first step towards a title. The brother of former United States Boxing Association (USBA), North American Boxing Association (NABA) and International Boxing Federation (IBF) super middleweight champion, Jeff “Left Hook” Lacy, will be looking to carry on the Lacy-legacy in world of boxing. Bosques, a native of Pinellas Park, Florida, had a well decorated amateur career competed in 2011 USA Boxing National Championships in Colorado Springs, Colorado at 112-pounds.
