Sampson Boxing and Jorge 'Pilon' Lara Reach Promotional Agreement

Sampson Lewkowicz of Sampson Boxing proudly announces he has signed an exclusive Promotional contract with rising super bantamweight star Jorge "Pilon" Lara (25-0-1, 17 KOs) from Guadalajara, Mexico. 23-year-old southpaw Lara has already scored a first-round TKO over former WBC silver champion Oscar Ibarra and won the WBC FECOMBOX featherweight title with a TKO 6 over then 19-1 Oscar Arenas.

"I promise not to let him down and I will always give my best effort." Lara advisor and attorney, Oscar Perez De Lara, echoed the fighter's sentiment about the deal.
