Friday night April 18, at the National Guard Amory in Philadelphia, PA, "The New" Ray Robinson, 7-0, fights in his hometown for the first time in his professional career as he takes on spoiler Jason Jordan, 5-19-3, in a special six round welterweight attraction.
Robinson, a former amateur standout, has been very impressive thus far in his young career. In his last bout on Feb. 15, 2008, Robinson destroyed the more experienced and usually durable Shaka Moore in one round.
Jordan in his last appearance in Philadelphia upset rugged Tyric Robinson in a four round decision. Jordan is one of those fighters who despite his record cannot be taken lightly.
"I am very excited about the progress of "The New" Ray Robinson," stated Star Boxing head Joe DeGuardia. " Ray has gotten better each time out and has displayed great character both in and outside the ring".
Star Boxing's expects " The New" Ray Robinson to continue to shine in his hometown debut in this bout, which is being promoted in association with Greg Robinsons Power Productions.
