HOUSTON — It hasn’t been easy securing fights for the former amateur star, Freudis Rojas Jr. When you are a 6’2 welterweight [147 pounds] with a 100% knockout ratio through your first 10 fights, opponents can be reluctant to get in the ring with you. Oh, did I mention he is a southpaw, an often-avoided stance. Lastly, he has sparred some of boxing’s best and held his own. But on Saturday, July 15th, Rojas Jr. will have his opportunity to show the world what he has to offer, when he faces, 19-2 (16 knockouts) Diego Santiago Sanchez on Showtime. The card is headlined by rising boxing super star, Frank Martin 17-0 (12 knockouts) facing fellow undefeated prospect, Artem Harutyunyan, 12-0 (7 knockouts). Freudis will be representing his father’s “0 to 100 Boxing Club,” while fighting in his hometown of Las Vegas, Nevada for the first time as a pro.
Zenger News catches up with “Freddy” just days before fight night to discuss what he hopes to be his breakout performance.
