Travon Taylor Secures Title Shot

 The first Public Safety boxing event of the year took place Saturday night at the Pechanga Resort & Casino. The casino played host to the SoCal Battle of the Badges and the near capacity crowd of 2000 were treated to a great night of entertainment.  The main event featured the UCA #1 ranked Travon Taylor, Orange County Sheriff’s Dept. testing the waters at light heavyweight. Taylor took on the undefeated new comer Omar Romero, USMC. Shortly after the bell sounded to start the fight Taylor would score a flash knockdown. Romero jumped right up and did not seem affected by it. When the action resumed both fighters moved around the ring studying each other. Taylor would strike first and land a right hand that momentarily wobbled Romero.  Taylor backed Romero against the ropes and started unloading rights and lefts which compelled the referee to step in and stop the fight in the 1st round. With this division shaking win Taylor takes over the number spot at light heavyweight and waits for his next opponent.
