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:

The 30 year-old Hasson is settled in a Light Heavyweight and has a solid win over Daniel Judah to his credit.  He is coming off a 4th round stoppage defeat to Tyrell Hendrix on June 27 in Las Vegas.

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).

Belasco to finally get shot at undefeated Nelson this Saturday at Valley Forge Casino Resort


UBF All Americas Jr. Welterweight title bout to serve as co-feature to De Alba - Carradine this Saturday


VALLEY FORGE, PA (September 30, 2014)--This Saturday night at the Valley Forge Casino Resort, an intriguing Jr. Welterweight battle will be the co-feature of a championship night boxing promoted by King's Promotions and Peltz Boxing.
 

Undefeated Naim Nelson (12-0, 1 KO) of Philadelphia will take on battle tested veteran Ryan Belasco (18-6-3-, 3 KO's) of Wilmington, DE for the UBF All America's Jr. Welterweight title.

 
This will be a shot for Belasco to get a coveted win to add to his victories over Victor Vasquez and Jesus Barbosa.

 
Belasco has been waiting for this opportunity against the undefeated Nelson for over a year as this fight was scheduled a couple of times but the fight was postponed due to injuries and family commitments.

 
"Everything is going good and I am hitting it hard.  I been in camp with Dougie Pettiford and Omar Douglas for 8 weeks.  A few fights came up but I am ready for this," said Belasco.

 
This will be Belasco's first fight in nearly a year since dropping a 10-round unanimous decision to Rod Salka last October 12.

 
"This fight has been brewing for a year.  We were going to fight but then Naim hurt his hand.  I took the Salka fight.  After that fight, we could have the fight again but my wife was pregnant.  I took time off to be with her so this fight has been on my radar for the last year or so."

 
He knows that Nelson is deserving of his undefeated record.

 
"He is tough and very busy.  He has what it takes but we trained rally hard.  I have been thrown in with tough competition so I know this is a fight I can win.  As people can see by my record, I have had nothing handed to me.  People look at my record and they know I can fight.  It will be a great fight as he is busy and I don't back down."

 
Twice before has Belasco fought for regional titles but now he knows that this will be the fight that pushes him over the top.

 
"The UBF Title will be the icing on the cake.  I have a 6-month old daughter and that would be a nice first piece of jewelry to give her."

 
Belasco finished by saying, "I never trash talk.  I guarantee this fight will be a firecracker.  A war at that.  I know to be a champion that you have to surround yourself with them and for this camp I did just that."

 
In the 8-round Main event, Frank De Alba (13-1-2, 5 KO's) of Reading, PA will look for his 12th straight win when he takes on Jesse Carradine (8-3-2, 4 KO's) of Las Vegas, NV in a Super Featherweight bout.

 
Shawn Sutton (0-2-1) of Norristown, PA will fight Anthony Prescott (3-3-2, 1 KO) of Cherry Hill, NJ in a 4-round Jr. Middleweight bout.

 
Christian Molina (2-0, 1 KO) of Allentown, PA battles Josue Rivera (2-5, 2 KO's) in a 4-round Jr. Welterweight bout.

 
Travis Thompson (5-11-3, 3 KO's) of Pottstown, PA will box Benjamin Burgos (1-8-1) of Mount Pocono, PA in a 4-round Lightweight bout.
