Jasso Defends Title at San Antonio's Tech Port

Big Time Boxing returns to the Bing Center at Tech Port in San Antonio tomorrow night when it hosts a Pound 4 pound Entertainment card. The Tech Port held its first ever boxing event back in the summer of 2022 which was headlined by San Antonio native Bam Rodriguez, who destroyed legendary little man Srisaket Sor Rungvisai via 8th round stoppage. The card was opened up by Jesus "Panterita" Martinez of Del Rio who took a four round decision over Keven Monroy. The arena has been linked to South Texas boxing and high level South Texas boxers. Tomorrow's card is no different as 6-2 (1) super flyweight Jaime Jasso from Laredo defends his WBC Silver Super Flyweight title against Josue Morales, a rugged veteran of nearly 50 professional fights with a record of 30-14-4 (12). Morales has been in the ring with world-class fighters like Bam Rodriguez, Hector Valdez, Nico Hernandez and Rudy Garcia. Jasso is riding a four-fight winning streak that should be six. Two wins, both by knockouts, were taken off the board by the Texas Commission. One of those wins was an epic, posterizing KO of unbeaten prospect Timothy Longoria that would put his record at 8-2 (3). In that win streak, he also exacted a loss early in his career when he outpointed undefeated prospect Guillermo Gutierrez over eight rounds. A win over Morales, a Houston native,  would put Jasso on track to begin competing at the world-class level and would elevate him to the highest level of prospects in the 115-pound division.

Also, on the card is a pair of women's title fights as Reina Tellez, 10-0-1 (5) of San Antonio puts her NABF title on the line against Mexican contender Perla Lomeli, 6-3 (0). Also, Gabriela Tellez 2-0 (0)  will battle Chiara Dituri of Brooklyn, NY, for the NABF lightweight title. 

The south Texas favorites will also be on the card as Laredo native Nick Molina looks to continue his winning ways as he puts his 6-2-1 (5) on the line against Corpus Christi native, fan favorite and amateur national champion "King" Julian Delgado in a six-round 168-pound fight. Delgadi turned pro in April and sports a 3-0 (1) record. KO artist Javier Vargas, of McAllen, looks to continue winning ways as he takes on Mexican tough guy Jesus Maldonado, 6-10-1 (4) in a six-round welterweight fight.  Vargas, 5-2 (3) has won two fights in a row since taking a very close and controversial loss to highly touted prospect David Whitmire in 2023 on the undercard of Rolly Romero vs Ismael Barroso.
