IRON BOY PROMOTIONS PRESENTS IRON BOY 7

PHOENIX — May 6, 2013 — Iron Boy Promotions is excited to present Iron Boy 7, and continue its commitment to high quality boxing shows that showcase the best of Arizona’s boxing talent.

On May 17th, at Celebrity Theatre, attendees will once again witness the best that Arizona’s professional and amateur ranks have to offer. In the main event bout, Chris Lopez (6-1, 2KO), whose war with Rocco Espinoza on Iron Boy 6 was described by some media as “the best fight I’d ever seen live,” will take on Mexico’s Pablo Batres (4-5-1, 0KO) in a six-round contest. Lopez, who is steadily earning a reputation as a warrior inside the ring, will undoubtedly have the crowd on its feet once again.

In the co-main event, valley favorite Juan Garcia (17-3, 6KO) takes on New Mexico’s Jeremiah Torres (8-21, 1KO). Exciting Sacramento prospect Guy Robb will be fighting in a featured bout.

Also on the card, Francisco “Panchito” C. de Vaca will be making his much-anticipated professional debut. De Vaca has won several local and national tournaments, and boasts a large fan base in the valley. Dedicated to fighting breast cancer, de Vaca will be wearing his signature “Real Men Wear Pink” attire for fight night. He will also be donating his first professional first to a charity dedicated to fighting breast cancer, and Iron Boy Promotions will match his contribution. Valley prospects Carlos Castro, Alexis Santiago and Fernando Samaniego round out the professional bouts.

In amateur action, David Benavidez, younger brother of highly touted Top Rank prospect Jose Benavidez, Jr., as well as female fighters Sulem Urbina and Ariel Arismendez return to the ring to showcase the future of Arizona Boxing.

Said Robert Vargas, President of Iron Boy Promotions of the event, “Our core audience is growing, as boxing fans share with their friends and families how exciting and high quality our shows are. These Arizona fighters, who work day-in and day-out toward their goals, are each growing a following and we’re excited to be part of that.”

Tickets for the event may be purchased at www.iron-boy.com or at the Celebrity Theatre box office. Doors open at 5 p.m. on May 17th, and fights start at 6 p.m.
