Joel "Joelo" Torres has been keeping himself quite busy since his hand has healed. He is currently preparing for his main event, a six-rounder on January 31 against the durable Omar Serrano in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico.
Torres is fighting at 140 lb and has been sparring 8 to 10 round sessions. Torres has been following a vigorous weight training and conditioning routine, which has accelerated his readiness for the upcoming fight.
The law in Puerto Rico that Joelo has urged to be passed, which is allowing children 12 years and under attend a sporting event for free, has maintained the attention of the town Mayor.
The Mayor has become quite involved in supporting his mission and the town has purchased 100 tickets for January 31st, and are also providing two school buses to ride the fans to and from the event.
Joel Torres' endeavors don't stop there. In February, he will be featured as the co-main event in Caguas, P.R., which is Miguel Cotto Promotion's first event of this year.
Torres will be fighting eight rounds. All of Miguel Cotto Promotion's events will broadcast every Thursday at 9:00pm on local P.R networks.
Torres is an exciting fighter because not only does he dictate his bouts, he is able to display both offensive and defensive skills. Torres is truly proving himself as a solid fighter as he exhibits to spectators how he is able to adapt his fighting style to best suit his opponents manner that has been leading him to victory.
