Bouts For Roach, Jr., Ballard Scheduled For October 21st In Verona, NY!

There will be a total of three Beltway Boxers that will be on the card on Saturday, October 21st at the Turning Stone Casino in Verona, NY.

Undefeated Upper Marlboro, MD super featherweight Lamont Roach, Jr. will be in a scheduled 10-round contest against Luis "Barcelo" Hinojosa of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.  Roach (14-0, five KO's) is coming off a 10-round unanimous decision win over Jesus Valdez on June 30th in Indio, CA.  Roach made the first defense of his WBC Youth Silver Super Featherweight title.  That belt will not be on the line in this contest.  Hinojosa (30-12, 17 KO's) will try to break a two-bout losing streak. In his last outing, Hinojosa was knocked out in the second round by Hairon Socarras on June 9th in Miami, FL.

Temple Hills, MD super middleweight D'Mitrius "Big Meech" Ballard will also look to stay unbeaten when he takes on Andrik "Loco" Saralegui of Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico in a 10-round encounter.  Ballard (17-0, 12 KO's) won the vacant WBC USNBC Super Middleweight title in his last bout, capturing a 10-round unanimous decision over Adrian Luna Flores on May 18th in Tucson, AZ.  Ballard's belt will not be on the line in this matchup.  Saralegui (8-4, six KO's) has not fought since he lost by first-round TKO to Jesse Hart in December of 2015 in Tucson.

Roach, Jr. and Ballard join fellow Beltway Boxer Alantez Fox on this card.  Fox will be the co-feature on this card when he takes on former world champion Demetrius Andrade in a 12-round non-title co-feature.  The bout will be shown on HBO's Boxing After Dark telecast.
