The #1 ranked Title Challenger Jorge Caamal, LASD went to New York for one last vacation before starting his training camp for his upcoming Welterweight Title Fight rematch against the undefeated Champion Brent Bugarin, Santa Clara SD. While in New York Caamal had lunch with The Ageless One, Bernard Hopkins and watched his friend Victor Ortiz fight Luis Collazo. Although Ortiz suffered a disappointing loss Caamal says, Ortiz is in good spirits. Before heading back to Los Angeles Caamal got in a work out at New Bed Stuy Boxing Gym, home to the NYPD Boxing Team. Caamal talked to the NYPD Boxing coach Lieutenant Dave Siev about a New York vs. California Battle of the Badges. Siev said, “Give me a date and time and I will bring the team to California.”

On April 19, 2014 Caamal will face Bugarin for the second time for the UCA Welterweight State Championship. Caamal has been chasing this rematch ever since Bugarin was announced, “And the new UCA Welterweight State Champion.” Caamal will finally get his chance to erase a loss that haunts him every day.  Caamal feels he made mistakes in the first fight; the biggest mistake was the weight cut. For the first fight Caamal started training camp at close to 190lbs and had to starve himself to make the welterweight limit of 147lbs. “Making the weight was the worst thing I have ever gone through”, Caamal said. “I will never do that again.” Caamal is slowly taking off the weight and says he will be strong come fight time.  Caamal’s experience and power will be integral in his fight with Bugarin. Caamal feels he will stop the champion this time around.

The Main Event of the Central California Battle of the Badges features the UCA Super Heavyweight State Champion Cleon Jones, Yolo Co Corrections defending his UCA Belt against a young, hungry challenger, 2nd ranked Shay McIntyre, CDCR Folsom Prison.  Jones is widely regarded as the best Super Heavyweight in California and is well aware of the challenges that await him. He knows he has gone from being the hunter to the hunted and he must train even harder than he did to win the title. On Saturday April 19, 2014 Jones will see a familiar face standing across the ring from him.  Jones and McIntyre have shared the ring once before. On October 6^th, 2013 McIntyre was a civilian fill in on the Sacramento Battle of the Badges card. McIntyre would pick up a razor close decision win over Jones. McIntyre has since become a Correctional Officer at Folsom Prison and looks to knock off the Champion once again. McIntyre hasn’t been in the ring since fighting Jones.  After the McIntyre fight, Jones was anxious to get back in the ring and challenge the best in the division.  On April 20, 2013 Jones met the former 2nd ranked Rahsaan Harrison, LASD, for the Super Heavyweight Title at the Richmond Battle of the Badges. Jones used his reflexes, timing, counter punching and athleticism to claim the UCA State Title.  You can expect much of the same from the crafty southpaw when he faces the young, up and coming Shay McIntyre, CDCR Folsom Prison for the Super Heavyweight State Championship Title.
