Maldonado Looks to Show He's Albuquerque Next Champion
By Deanna Tapia and Andy Rivera
When people ask me who is the next Johnny Tapia or Danny Romero or the next up and comer for that matter? I really can't give a definitive answer.
The names Ray Sanchez III, Archie Ray Marquez were two that many thought would carry the torch these two top amateurs got the city buzzing with their fast starts in the pro ranks' Sanchez III was 20-1, when he stepped up the competition to face Julio Caesar Chavez Jr. In 2007, Chavez Jr halted Sanchez III in 6, Sanchez III went 1-1 in his next to bouts and has never been heard from again.
Marquez was on a Collision course to battle city rival Fidel Maldonado Jr, going 12-0, but Marquez suffered back to back loses, followed by a lackluster win this past March that many believe Marquez's pro career has plateaued, thus leaving us to Maldonado Jr.
This Friday night at Santa Ana Star Casino Maldonado Jr. headlines for the first time on National Television against Fernando Carcamo. Golden Boy Promotions along with local Golden Girl Promotions are promoting the 6 bout fight card.
