Las Vegas, NV (February 15) – Roy Jones Jr. Boxing Promotions Stable Mates Max “Baby Face Assassin” Ornelas & Tony Lopez Face Off on April 20th at the Cox Pavilion
“The Baby Faced Assassin” Max Ornelas (10-0-1) has been a juggernaut in the banatamweight division. Max has posted ten wins combined with zero defeats all while only losing two total rounds. Ornelas is also enrolled full time at The University of Nevada Las Vegas where he majors in Criminal Justice. When he’s not hitting the books, he’s dropping bodies in the ring.
Max has managed to vanquish many victims with major amounts of experience with ease. In his last 3 fights, the combined record of his opposition is 43-11. Now with his future brighter than a Nevadan sky, Ornelas will look to hoist his first title on his home court at the Cox Pavilion on April 20th.
However a Texas Tornado in the form of Tony Lopez (12-3) has locked in on the young Ornelas. Lopez is a 5 time title contender and recently finished a 2 year stretch where he faced 4 opponents with a combined 39-0 record. He capped that stint with a 5 round tko over Ranel Suco (16-8) for a WBC strap. Most recently he dropped a decision loss to former World Champion, Rico Ramos (28-5).
Now Lopez will look to open up against Ornelas to surprisingly spoil Max’s monumental moment. However don’t expect the Babyfaced Assassin to go quietly into the Vegas night.
