Undefeated Lightweight Sultahn Staton to take on Ramon Ellis this Saturday night at the Valley Forge Casino Resort


Dennis Hasson take on Taneal Goyco in main event plus undefeated  David Grayton, Martin Lagunas Jr. & Eliezar Garcia


VALLEY FORGE, PA (November 21, 2014)--Tomorrow night at the Valley Forge Casino Resort, undefeated Lightweight Sultahn Staton will take on veteran Ramon Ellis as part of a big card promoted by Kings Promotions.

In the main event, Dennis Hasson (16-1, 6 KO's) will take on Taneal Goyco (6-8-1, 3 KO's) in a battle of Philadelphia based Light Heavyweights.

Staton of Philadelphia has a record of 3-0 with two knockouts and he has been very impressive by using an aggressive crowd pleasing style.

"I have had a good training camp, "said the 23 year-old Staton.

In Ellis, he is facing a solid veteran and despite his record 4-13-2 with two knockouts, Ellis is one of those fighters who should have more to show as he been on the wrong end of some bad decisions and has also faced seven undefeated fighters and has wins over Tim Witherspoon Jr. (8-2-1) and Luis Castro (3-0).

"I know that Ellis is taller and longer.  I see he has a good left hook but we will be ok if we just box and stay on out toes."

Staton is looking to improve on his performance of his last fight when he went the distance for the first time as he scored a 4-round unanimous decision over Mike Erosa on February 7.

"My last fight was not a good performance.  I know because I am still undefeated that people are gunning for me.  I have been off for nine months because nobody will fight me but now since I didnt have a great performance, we got an opponent.  As soon as people see you slip, I guess they think the can jump on an opportunity."

I know that come November 22, I will still be undefeated and give a good show for the crowd. 

6 Round Bouts: 

David Grayton (9-0, 8 KO's) will take on an opponent to be announced in a Welterweight bout.

In Four Round Bouts:

Carlos Rosario (0-1) of Pennsauken, NJ will battle Eliezar Mendez (1-0) of Reading, PA in a Jr. Lightweight fight.

That fight was a shocking defeat as Hasson was rolling along undefeated until the surprise defeat to Hendrix.

"I take full responsibility for that defeat.  I did not have to take that fight.  I just went in there and lost," said a candid Hasson.

"I have come full circle as I am back with my original team of Buddy Osborne and Johnny Rivera and we are back to basics and we will see the best results."

In Goyco, Hason is fighting another man from Philadelphia who comes to fight.

"I know Goyco is a good fight for us.  Like myself, He is coming off a loss.  We are both from Philadelphia and this will be a good fight for the fans.  I am looking to put on a good show and come out victorious."

Hasson isn't letting the set back bother him as he feels that the Hendrix fight was just a small bump in the road.

"Some of the greatest fighters have suffered glitches in their career and they have gone on to have Hall of Fame careers.  I will not let that hold me back from going forward.  That loss will not break me.  I have learned and will come back stronger"

Despite having a record of 6-8-1 with three knockouts, Goyco has wins over Dennis Morris (1-0), Frankie Filippone (14-2-1) and Jeremy Trussell (8-0).

SADAM ALI, MARCUS BROWNE AND ZACHARY OCHOA IN ACTION BEFORE "HOPKINS VS. SHUMENOV" TRIPLEHEADER AT DC ARMORY ON SHOWTIME EXTREME®





WASHINGTON, D.C. (April 7) - Some of New York City's most promising prospects are heading down the highway from the Big Apple to the nation's capital to be showcased at the DC Armory on Saturday, April 19 in undercard bouts leading up to the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® tripleheader. The event is headlined by Bernard Hopkins' history-making title unification bout against Beibut Shumenov for the IBF, WBA and IBA Light Heavyweight World Championship. In the televised action on SHOWTIME EXTREME, beginning at 7 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the West Coast), 2008 U.S. Olympian Sadam "World Kid" Ali of Brooklyn, N.Y. puts his unbeaten record on the line against another former amateur standout in New Jerseys' Jeremy Bryan of Paterson, New Jersey. Plus, another undefeated Brooklynite Zachary Ochoa, takes on Puerto Rico's Hector Marengo. Opening the SHOWTIME EXTREME broadcast will be 2012 U.S. Olympian"Sir" Marcus Browne of Staten Island against an opponent to be announced.

Also in non-televised bouts will be local standouts D'Mitrius Ballard, Dominic Wade and David Grayton.

Brooklyn's Sadam "World Kid" Ali (18-0, 11 KOs) has been considered a top candidate for world title honors ever since turning pro after the 2008 U.S. Olympics. Yet it wasn't until 2013 that he truly got his chance to shine when he defeated Jay Krupp via decision followed by a knockout of Jesus Selig. On April 19, the 25-year-old steps up to the plate once again to square off with Paterson, New Jersey's Jeremy Bryan (17-3, 7 KOs) in a 10-round welterweight bout. Bryan, winner of three of his last four fights, is a two-time National Golden Gloves winner who owns an amateur win over current 140-pound world champion Danny Garcia.

In a six-round junior welterweight bout, popular Zachary "Zungry" Ochoa (6-0, 3 KOs) hopes to keep his perfect record intact when he meets Arecibo, Puerto Rico's Hector Marengo (6-7-4, 4 KOs). The 21-year-old Ochoa has built a strong local following thanks to three fights in his hometown, but he's excited to take his show on the road for his fight against Marengo at the DC Armory.

Hailing from Staten Island, New York, "Sir" Marcus Browne (9-0, 7 KOs) has long been his borough's favorite son. After making the 2012 U.S. Olympic team and notching wins in each of his nine professional bouts, that's no surprise. Fresh off of a shutout win over Kentrell Clairborne in January, the 23-year-old light heavyweight will be back in action on April 19 in an eight-round bout against an opponent to be named.

Another 23-year-old phenom, Largo, Maryland's Dominic Wade (14-0, 10 KOs) is making plenty of noise on the local scene, showing more and more skill with each fight. In January, Wade displayed his heart as he rose from a first round knockdown to defeat veteran Dashon Johnson. On April 19, he faces Jacksonville's Marcus Upshaw (15-11-2, 7 KOs) in an eight-round middleweight match.

Unbeaten in four professional bouts, D.C.'s own D'Mitrius Ballard (4-0, 3 KOs) has electrified the city's boxing scene with his phenomenal skills and power in the ring. Returning to the DC Armory after his third-round technical knockout of Marlon Farr there in January, the 21-year-old super middleweight prospect will meet Kansas City's Quincy Miner (3-4) in a four-round matchup.

Also on the card will be two D.C. boxers, welterweight David Grayton (6-0, 5 KOs) and debuting lightweightChrisshawn Alexander. Both will face opponents to be named in four round bouts.
