Reid-Sanchez Headline Jan. 28th for NABF Title
1/24 - In the 12-round main event on January 28th, Teddy "Two Gun" Reid, 22-6-1, of Adelphi, MD, will fight for the interim NABF super welterweight title against Eddie Sanchez, 12-3-2, of New Orleans, LA.
NABF super welterweight champion Rodney Jones, who was originally scheduled to defend the title, was injured in training and withdrew from the fight. Sanchez is coming off his two career-best wins, both upsets, in his last two fights, and is no stranger to taking a fight on short notice. He took his last fight, on August 13, 2004, against world-ranked contender J.C. Candelo, literally on last-minute notice. Eddie wasn’t confirmed to fight until the morning of the show, but won a 12-round unanimous decision that night. The win earned him a place in the world rankings at IBF #10 and WBC #14. Two months earlier in June, he scored a sixth-round TKO win against world-ranked Jose Celaya.
