YORK, PA, November 3, 2008 -- This Saturday night, fight fans in York, Pennsylvania will be treated to professional boxing’s hottest prospects as Chet Koerner’s TKO Boxing Promotions returns to present "THE BATTLE AT YORK II” at the historic Valencia Ballroom.
The Valencia Ballroom is located at 142 N. George St in the downtown area of York , PA. Tickets, with a five dollar discount prior to fight night, are on sale in advance at www.tix.com or by calling 800-595-4849. Doors will open on the night of the event at 6:30pm with the first bell at 7:30pm.
Headlining “THE BATTLE AT YORK II” will be local favorite Carney “BEEPER” Bowman, who will battle Puerto Rico ’s Castulo Gonzalez in the eight round featherweight main event. The undefeated Bowman, 11-0 with four knockouts, will be looking to put on another great performance for the local fans against Gonzalez, 9-3 with three knockouts.
The Valencia Ballroom was the scene of Bowman’s last fight, winning a unanimous decision over Alex Perez on July 26th.
Also returning to the Valencia Ballroom is heavy handed York native, Stevie Weimer who will battle Omaha native Trenton Titsworth in a four round welterweight bout.
The 19 year old Weimer, 2-0 (2KO’s), is coming off a devastating first round knockout of Juan Thompson on September 25th in Baltimore. The highly regarded pro prospect made his pro debut by stopping Spencer Harsley in the third round in July at the Valencia Ballroom.
In a special attraction, Olympian middleweight Bastie “THE BEAST” Samir will make his professional debut. The 22 year old Samir, captain of the Ghanan team, compiled a record of 96-7 as an amateur competing in numerous international tournaments including the World Championships in Chicago in 2007. He lost a heavily disputed second round bout to Brazilian Washington Silva in the second round of the Beijing Games in August by a score of 9-7.
Also on “THE BATTLE AT YORK II”, junior welterweight Terrance Crawford will look to continue his unbeaten streak as he faces Alabama ’s Michael Williams in a four round bout. The 21 year old Crawford, 4-0 with two knockouts, won a four round unanimous decision over Damon Antoine at the inaugural TKO Boxing Promotions show at the Valencia Ballroom. The rugged Williams brings a record of 5-6 with three knockouts into battle.
Other exciting prospects seeing action at “THE BATTLE AT YORK II” include Detroit super middleweight James Countryman and Johnstown, Pennsylvania heavyweight prospect Andres Taylor.
