There is a first time for everything!
The youngest female boxing promoter in the nation, Bucks County native Brittany Rogers (left) will promote her second boxing event this weekend.
It features a 10-round contest for the vacant Pennsylvania Welterweight Title between Terrance The Heat Cauthen and The New Ray Robinson on Saturday, May 12, at the Newtown Athletic Club (NAC), 120 Pheasant Run, Newtown, PA 18940.
First of six bouts begins at 7:30 pm.
This card brings pro boxing back to a town that doesn’t often host fights, but and the Philadelphia fighters are ready to put on a show! The undercard is loaded with exciting athletes. Best of the bunch could be the six-rounder between lightweights Kareem Cooley (2-1,1K0) and Tevin Farmer (4-3-1, 1K0).
It matches Cooley’s skill against Farmer’s hustle. Cooley, the taller of the two, is taking a big step up against Farmer. Farmer’s most impressive win over Tim Witherspoon, Jr., was a result of Farmer’s heart and hustle. Farmer does not rest for a second once he is inside the ropes and Cooley won’t let him regardless.
Also on the undercard is a six-round bout between DeCarlo Perez (6-2-1, 2K0s), of Atlantic City, NJ, in with Lenwood Dozier (7-4-1, 3K0s), of Glen Burnie, MD. Dozier is coming off a tough loss to Jose Peralta Alejo, of Jersey City, NJ; Perez is coming off a loss to Rafael Montalvo, of St. Clair, PA. It’s a must-win situation for each man.
Hasan Young, of Philadelphia, makes his pro debut against Cassius Clay, (0-2), in a junior welterweight fight. Clay, a New Jersey native, lives in Las Vegas, NV, and is traveling back to make his East Coast debut. Young is a natural; he makes counter-punching look easy.
Philadelphia cruiserweights Amir Shabazz (1-0) and Ken Rosser (0-2) go at it in a four-rounder. This marks Shabazz’ first fight after a 16-month lay-off due to injury. Rosser is your typical Philadelphia fighter; he took this fight on short notice. Rosser has heart, something you can’t teach. Oscar Pagan, of Camden, NJ, and Ben Lovett, of Philadelphia, will make their debuts in a junior middleweight bout.
The Cauthen-Robinson main events marks his second fight close to his Trenton, NJ, backyard. He once trained members of the NAC. This also will mark Robinson’s first bout at the NAC and his first time fighting for a title!
