It is customary in every World Boxing Association (WBA) Convention, the event will feature a “KO Drugs”. The Centennial Convention will be no exception and on December 11, a great boxing card will take place on the opening night of the convention in Orlando, at the Caribe Royale Hotel. 

The event is promoted by Boxlab Promotions and will feature a total of 14 bouts with fighters from Cuba, Argentina, United States, Brazil, Ghana, Greece, Colombia, Northern Ireland, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Puerto Rico, Philippines, among others.

The main fight will be between Cuban Orestes Velazquez and Argentinean Guillermo Crocco, who will fight for the WBA international middleweight belt in a 10-round bout. Meanwhile, Argentinean prospect Francisco Veron will face California’s undefeated Leonardo Ruiz in a bout for the 160 lbs. continental belt.

The presence of the legend Sergio “Maravilla” Martinez, who will step into the ring at middleweight to face American Noah Kidd in an 8 round bout, stands out.

Another interesting fight will be that of Brazilian veteran Yamaguchi Falcao, who will face Ghana’s Ernest Amuzu for the NABA super middleweight title.

This year’s “KO a las Drogas” brings together fighters from many parts of the world and promises to be full of action and great fights. The WBA is looking forward to this event, which will be the opener of a great convention to be held from December 11 to 14.
