RDR Promotions bring live boxing back to Sheet Metal Workers Local 19 this Saturday, with a 13-bout show built around the area’s most promising unbeaten prospects and several seasoned visitors keen on the upset.
In the nominal main event, Camden welterweight Nimal Farmer (6-0-1, 4 KOs) risks his undefeated record in an eight-rounder against New York southpaw Ghandi Romain (9-1-1, 7 KOs). Farmer’s high-pressure style has produced four stoppages in six wins, but Romain’s slick counter-punching and greater experience as an amateur promise the toughest test of the Philadelphian’s career.
An all-action super-lightweight clash sees North Philly’s Juan Rivera V (7-0, 4 KOs) step up to eight rounds with dangerous Dominican veteran Braulio Rodríguez (22-14, 19 KOs), whose record hides a punch that has troubled several prospects on the road.
Middleweight crowd-pleaser Erron Peterson (11-0-1, 10 KOs) returns meeting Reading spoiler Daijohn Gonzalez (12-7, 6 KOs) over eight.
