ALA Promotions' San Mateo Undercard Features a Valdez-Jennings Barn Burner, Main event Pagara vs Juarez

ALA Promotions president Michael Aldeguer is expanding his San Mateo Events Center card titled “Fists of the Future” to include American boxers on the undercard of the main event featuring unbeaten Prince Albert Pagara against rugged Cesar Juarez of Mexico on July 9. 

Middleweight Mauricio Zavaleta of San Leandro, California will face Darren Mallard while featherweight Hector Valdez of Dallas, Texas will take on Vincent Jennings in a six round bout at 125 pounds which is expected to be a barn burner. 

Valdez who is unbeaten in six fights with 5 knockouts is a 20 year old prospect and is coming off a six Round Unanimous Decision over Naciff Castillo at the Texas Theatre in Dallas last May 24. Fight News reported that Valdez, one of Dallas’ exciting young fighters displayed his blazing hand-speed in the opening round as he landed a big left hook and worked the body of Castillo. 

In the 2nd round southpaw Castillo had to be checked by the doctor because of an apparent head-butt but was allowed to continue. Valdez kept the pressure on Castillo throughout the fight who preferred to counter Valdez and fight off the ropes. The fight got a little nasty when Castillo complained to referee Laurence Cole that he was being head-butted by Valdez with Cole deducting a point from Valdez for using his shoulder in the 3rd round. 

Entering the 5th round Valdez was well in control and snapped the head back of Castillo on several occasions. However, the game Castillo kept gesturing for Valdez to come forward who was well in the lead. Both fighters let their hands go hoping for a knockout which was a risky proposition for Valdez who was well ahead on points. The fight ended as the fans roared as Valdez kept his unbeaten record with all three judges scoring it for him – 59-54 twice and 58-56 once. 

Jennings is a super bantamweight from Grand Rapids, Michigan and has a record of 5-1-1 with 4 knockouts. He is coming off a six round unanimous decision loss to Jesus Serrano last June 13, 2015. The 24 year old Serrano had a record of 11-4-2 with 9 knockouts. 
Corey Olsen at ringside in Pittsburg, Pnnsylvania reported that Iron Mike Productions fighter Dennis Galarza was scheduled to fight an easy six round bout Friday to advance to 6-0. But Grand Rapids boxer Vincent Jennings must not have gotten the memo.
