On Friday October 4th, Peltz Boxing Promotions will celebrate a Golden anniversary (50) glorious years in the sport by hosting an Eight bout Card at the 2300 Arena in South Philly.. The card billed as “Blood Sweat and 50 years” will feature a Junior Welterweight bout between Victor Padilla 5-0 (5 Ko’s) of Berlin NY and Romain Tomas 8-2 (1 Ko’s) of nearby Brooklyn.. The Event will be promoted by Michelle Rosado (Raging Babe Promotions) with Russell Peltz himself as Matchmaker..
Peltz has even took the time to follow the historic detail of scheduling the Padilla v Tomas bout for a 6 round distance (Historically all main event bouts in Philadelphia for the first two decades of the 20th century were limited to 6)
The Puerto Rican born in a southpaw Padilla, originally from Vieques, Puerto Rico, is a versatile southpaw, winning all five of his career fights by first-round knockout. The level of opposition hasn’t been exceptional, but regardless he is valued by promoter Lou DiBella as one of the best young pros on the East Coast..
The French born Tomas comes with an 8-2 record, but is coming off a career highlight win his biggest career win over the previously unbeaten Omar Bordoy (7-0) a decision in Bordoy’s hometown of Hampton, NH.
The Event promises to be a memorable one, Russell is a Philadelphia boxing institution and Philadelphia itself a city steeped so richly in boxing folklore..
Peltz will always be synonymous with Philadelphia’s most famous purpose built boxing arena, Jimmy Toppi Sr’s Blue Horizon that stood on 1314 North Broad Street in the City until it closed in 2010..
