By Robert Brizel, Head Real Combat Media Boxing Correspondent
Philadephia, PA (April 3rd, 2025)– ProBox will present an exciting seven-bout prospects card of boxing on April 5, 2025 at 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, featuring WBC Silver USA Super Featherweight champion Haven Brady Jr. of Georgia facing off against D’Angelo Keyes of Texas in the eight rounds main event televised on ProBox TV in what could prove to be an action-packed, hard-fought bout.
Brady, 14-0 with eight knockouts, Albany, Georgia, is favored to win by unanimous decision over Keyes, 18-5 with eleven knockouts, Houston, Texas, in what could prove to be an action packed, hard fought bout.
In the eight rounds light heavyweight preliminary to the main event, Dante Benjamin, 10-0-1 with eight knockouts, Cleveland, Ohio, is favored to win by stoppage over Rodolfo Gomez Jr., 14-8-3 with 10 knockouts, Laredo, Texas, by way of Mexico. Gomez is 0-4 with two draws in his last six outings since 2021 against higher level opposition, but does hold an eighth-round stoppage of former world champion Ricardo Mayorga in 2018 and could prove a tough stepping stone opponent for the rising Benjamin, while the bout lasts.
In a light heavyweight preliminary bout, southpaw Bek Nuragambet, 13-0 with 11 knockouts, Turkestan, Kazakhstan, is favored to win by stoppage over Encarnacion Diaz, 20-5 with 11 knockouts, San Jose, Costa Rica, by way of Nicaragua. In his only other appearance outside of Central America, Diaz was stopped in Detroit in two rounds by Ali Akhmedov in May 2024.
Featherweight Keith Colon Rodriguez, 4-0 with four knockouts, Newark, New Jersey, is favored to win by stoppage or decision over an opponent still be named on the undercard. Super featherweight Christian Ortiz, 3-0 with three knockouts, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is favored to win by split decision or majority decision over Hamilton Blandon, 3-0 with one knockout, Nicaragua. Super lightweight Kadeen Hunter Munson, 3-0 with three knockouts, Upper Darby, Pennsylvania, is favored to win by knockout over Bernardo Manzano, 2-8, Tlalnepantla, Mexico. Manzano has some experience but no power, and should be broken down by Munson in short order within a round or two.
Middleweight Elijah Lugo of Marietta, Georgia, will open the card in his pro debut, and is predicted to win by knockout unanimous decision over traveling challenger Andre Johnson, 2-2 with two knockouts, Grand Prairie, Texas.
