BOXEO Telemundo FORD the #1 Spanish-language boxing program in the U.S., returns to Telemundo this Friday, November 3 at 11:35 PM ET/10:35 CT from the Osceola Heritage Park in Kissimmee, FL. The season finale and last event of the year will feature a battle of Mexico vs. Puerto Rico as undefeated Alejandro "Bad Boy" Barbosa 11-0 (7 KO) faces Sammy "Hurricane" Valentín 12-1 (9 KO) for the WBO Youth Welterweight World title. Telemundo Deportes' commentators René Giraldo and Edgar López will call the action.
Sammy Valentin of Tampa, FL is a former NABO Welterweight Champion and winner of the 2014 National Golden Gloves. He was defeated in his last bout during "Boxeo Telemundo" this past summer against Giovanny Santillan, and looks to step back into the contention this Friday.
Meanwhile Barbosa has never been defeated, spotting an unblemished record of 11-0 7KO's with 6 of his last 7 wins coming by way of knockout. A native of Jacona, Michoacan, Mexico, Barbosa arrives to Florida looking to make a name for himself in the U.S.
