The boxing world will turn its eyes to Harrahs Philadelphia in Chester, Pennsylvania this Saturday, October 21st. Why? Because Rashan Adams (5-0, 4 KOs) is set to clash with Jabril Noble (4-0, 4 KOs) in a thrilling six-round junior lightweight fight.
Under the banner of RDR Promotions, the night’s looking stacked with a 12-fight card.
Isaiah Johnson, Philly’s own rising junior welterweight star, is putting his 8-0 (six by knockout) record on the line. He’ll be fighting Paulo Cesar Galdino in an exciting eight-rounder. Last we saw Johnson, he was handing out third-round nap tickets, with Marquis Hawthorne being the most recent recipient on May 27th.
Galdino, straight outta Sao Paulo, Brazil, has a respectable record of 12-7-2 with eight KOs. Some of his notable victories include battles against Emerson Braz, Osvaldo de Melo Costa, and Daniel Gonzalez. And get this, he’s fresh off draws against undefeated fighters like Narciso Carnona and Myquan Williams, the latter being on June 9th in Verona, New York.
