Jr. Welterweight Lenny DeVictoria will now take on Derrick Moon in the main event of an eight bout card at The Legendary Blue Horizon in Philadelphia on Friday night February 8th. DeVictoria was originally supposed to fight Carlos Cisneros. When Cisneros fell out, Moon jumped at the opportunity to fight at The Legendary Blue Horizon..
Moon, 12-15-1 with two knockouts is a mirror image of DeVictoria in terms of his ring ledger. Like DeVictoria, Moon has fought fighters with gaudy records and the combined records of the fifteen men who beat were 156-15-5.
DeVictoria, 10-10 with three knockouts is coming off the his grueling knockout over Elad Shmouel (18-1) last December 7th at The Legendary Blue Horizon
That fight was termed as the “PHILLY FIGHT OF THE YEAR FOR 2007” & can be viewed at:
