FRIDAY NIGHT FIGHTS
“LEMJERDINE vs. CASTREJON”
FRIDAY, ARRIL 5, 2013, AT THE
BROAD STREET
BALLROOM
Mohammed Lemjerdine and
Anthony Castrejon set to for a collision course
NEW YORK (Mar. 6, 2013) – FRIDAY NIGHT FIGHTS, North America’s
longest running Muay Thai promotion will return on April 5, 2013, to The Broad
Street Ballroom in Manhattan, New York. The night’s main event will feature a
fight between two of America’s
best young talents as Mohammed
Lemjerdine (4-1) of West Haven, Connecticut will take on Anthony “Pretty Boy” Castrejon (3-1) of Las Vegas, Nevada.
Mohammed Lemjerdine is known for his solid technique and as a pro holds a
victory over the highly touted Ognjen Topic. Already considered one of the East
Coast’s best fighters, the addition of Castrejon’s name to his resume would
help cement his name as one of the best on a national level.
Anthony Castrejon is a highly touted young gun from out west. Known for his
exciting and aggressive fight style, he will be making his East Coast debut
against one of the East Coast’s finest. East Coast fans won’t be disappointed
by Castrejon’s style and are in for a treat.
In the co-main event Villi Bello (5-2)
and Turan Hasanov (5-3) will square
off in a re-match of their 2011 barn burner. The last time these two fighters
met the crowd went crazy as they slugged it out for five hard fought rounds.
Hasanov walked away with a decision victory on that night, but the fans were
the real winners. Now a year and a half
later it’s time for the re-match and if it is anything like the first bout, the
fans will once again walk away victorious.
