Tuesday’s Premier Boxing Champions and FS1’s “Toe-to-Toe Tuesday” fight card was put together by King’s Promotions of Reading, PA. The card featured boxers from across the U.S. and featured many fighters from our region including Allentown, Bethlehem, Reading, Harrisburg and Lebanon.
The main event featured Welterweights Miguel Cruz who defeated Alex Martin. Miguel Cruz of San Juan, PR, defeated his opponent Alex “Chi-town Heat”. This rematch marks the second time Cruz has defeated Martin. The rematch went 10 rounds with both boxers taking turns dominating their opponent. However, a pair of knockdowns scored by Cruz carried him to a unanimous decision.
Although the event was held in Bethlehem the Super lightweight card was more of a battle of Allentown as Jesus Perez, of Allentown scored a knockdown in defeating Christian Molina who is also from Allentown.
