Unbeaten Filipino junior lightweight Harmonito ?Hammer? Dela Torre is ready to put on a show in his US debut at the Seneca Resort and Casino in Niagra Falls, New York when he is featured in the televised main event on ?Championship Boxing on CBS Sports Network on Friday, Saturday Manila Time.
Dela Torre faces Guillermo Sanchez in an eight round bout presented by Greg Cohen Promotions.
Dela Torre who hails from the hometown of eight division world champion and recently elected Senator Manny Pacquiao in General Santos City is a 22 year old fighter with an impressive record of 17-0 with 12 knockouts.
His manager, youthful Jim Claude Manangquil who heads Sanman Promotions said ?I?m confident Harmonito will put on a great show for American boxing fans.?
He added, ?we?re hoping that his first fight will be the start of something special.?
Dela Torre fought twice at the Cotai Arena in Macau, once on the undercard of the Pacquiao-Brandon ?BamBam? Rios fight which Manny won handily.
Dela Torre scored a 3rd round knockout over Jason Butar Butar in a scheduled six round bout on November 24, 2013 and then scored a 1st round knockout of Yakobus Heluka in a scheduled six round bout on February 22, 2014.
The 27 year old southpaw Sanchez started his career with a string of eleven wins before he hit a bad spell and in fact has lost his last four fights.
