Star Boxing Signs Lightweight Prospect Jorge “The Truth” Teron

On May 15, Jorge “The Truth” Teron, 22-1-1 (15), will be out for revenge when he makes his debut under the Star Boxing banner at Harrah’s Resort in Atlantic, City, NJ.

Teron will be taking on Aldo “El Pato” Valtierra, 25-10 (13), in a rematch of their highly entertaining bout of December, 2008.

Teron vs. Valtierra II will be showcased live as the co-feature bout of the evening on ESPN2’s “Friday Night Fights”.

On December 4, Teron, who is now co-promoted by Star Boxing and Hirsch-Borao Promotions, dropped a highly competitive and controversial ten round majority decision to the very dangerous Valtierra.

Many ringside observers felt that Teron did more than enough to win a decision, but unfortunately the judges felt different. Rather than take an easy tune-up fight to get back into the win column, Teron, being the fighter he is, has opted to go right at Valtierra again.

A win against Valtierra on the nationally televised Friday Night Fights will not only give Teron the revenge he so eagerly desires, but will land him right into the mix in the exciting lightweight division.

“I can’t express enough how excited I am to be getting this opportunity to get my revenge against Valtierra,” stated a determined Teron.

“After the first fight, I was sitting in my dressing room begging for a rematch, and now it’s only a few days away and I can’t wait. I’m not going to make any excuses for the first fight, for whatever reason I just couldn’t get off like I wanted, but that being said I still know I won the fight. Anyone you ask who was there says I won the fight.

“Rather then dwell on the past though I have used that fight as a learning experience and have grown from it. I am hungrier then ever right now I can promise you that you will see the real Jorge Teron on May 15th.”

Regarding signing with DeGuardia, Teron couldn’t be happier. “I am very happy to be with Joe now. He is one of the top promoters in the industry and I know he will be able take me to the next level.

“I am looking forward to staying very active and representing the Star Boxing banner in tremendous fashion. I can’t wait to get into the ring on the 15th and put on an impressive showing for all my fans who have stood by me and supported me throughout my entire career.”

“We are very pleased to have Jorge as a major part of the Star Boxing roster,” stated Joe DeGuardia, CEO and President of Star Boxing.

“Jorge has all the skills and ability to be a complete terror in the lightweight division, and his path to stardom starts on May 15th.”

The card is promoted by Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing, in association with Harrah’s Resort. A complete list of the undercard will be announced shortly.
