Atlantic City, NJ (October 23rd, 2022)–Promoter Alex Barbosa’s R & B Promotions, in conjunction with Manny Rivera’s Hard Hitting Promotions, will present its second professional boxing card at Showboat Atlantic City, in Atlantic City, New Jersey, on Saturday evening, October 29, 2022, with eight exciting bout of boxing, featuring welterweight contender Anthony ‘Juice’ Young, and hot and cold super welterweight Sydney ‘The Jackal’ Maccow.
In the main event, welterweight contender Young, 23-2 with eight knockouts, Atlantic City, New Jersey, winner of 12 straight including a stoppage over former world champion Sadam Ali, is favored to win by fourth or fifth-round stoppage over Jose Zaragoza, 9-5-1 with three knockouts, Sedalia, Missouri, by way of Jalisco, Mexico. Zaragoza has won seven of his last 10 pro bouts, including a first-round knockout over 8-2 Ricardo Valdovinos in August 2022 in San Diego, California.
In the preliminary to the main event, the hot and cold 7-8 Sydney ‘The Jackal’ Maccow, who lost five in a row, but is now undefeated in his last four bouts, is predicted to go the distance in a close bout with Brandon Idrogo, 6-3 with six knockouts, Ellenville, New York.
