[tps_title]RFO: Big Guns 15 Judgement Day[/tps_title]
March 21st – Mansfield, OH
After a five-month absence, the RFO will return to Mansfield this weekend with Big Guns 15. The pro/am lineup features a total of 15 bouts, including 4 pros and one amateur title bout.
In the headliner, Josh Longood (1-0) will look to stay unbeaten as a pro when he faces Jeff Mack (0-0, 11-3 am) in a bantamweight contest. Longood has won four bouts in a row dating back to his amateur career, and is 9-1 overall. Mack won three of his last four amateur bouts, and he competed in a whopping seven title fights during his amateur career, posting a 5-2 record in those fights.
In the co-feature, Eric Bledsoe (2-1) will step in on short notice to face Mansfield native Mike Williams (2-2). Williams looks for the first two-fight winning streak of his career while Bledsoe looks to rebound from his only loss.
The other two pro bouts will feature flyweights Dennis Brown (3-1) vs. Cody Gabelman (2-1) and heavyweights Jeff Hughes (1-0) vs. Leviticus Roberson (1-1).
On the amateur side of things, Rich Cantolina (11-7) will challenge Aaron Neighbors (10-6) for the RFO bantamweight title, while a pair of unbeaten flyweights will square off as Alex Poinar (4-0) takes on New York’s Billy Windrum (5-0).
