Red Owl Boxing has announced four new fights for its event in El Paso, Texas on Friday, Aug. 7. However, undefeated “Poison Ivy” Enriquez will no longer be fighting on the card due to an injury she has sustained.
Enriquez was scheduled to fight Perla Lomeli from Mexico.
As a result of Enriquez being scratched from the card, the previously announced featherweight (126 pounds) matchup between Emmanuel “El Chingón” Carrillo, Jr. (6-0, 3 KO’s) of Wichita Falls, Texas by way of Las Cruces, N.M. and Kenneth “The Problem Child” Taylor (15-6-2, 6 KO’s) of Tyler, Texas will serve as the new ‘Boxfest XIX’ co-main event, while the previously announced super flyweight (115 pounds) contest between Christina “The Hell’s Kitchen Kid” Cruz (6-1) of New York, N.Y. and Brandi “The Babydoll” Montoya (6-2) of Albuquerque, N.M. has been elevated to the first fight on the Red Owl Boxing main card.
In the main event, world-ranked Emanuel “El Trompo” Moreno (13-0, 3 KO’s) of Wichita Falls, Texas will battle it out with slick competitor Guillermo “GMO” Gutierrez (13-3, 1 KO) of San Antonio, Texas for Moreno’s World Boxing Association (WBA) Continental Americas bantamweight (118 pounds) championship at stake.
In a featured women’s super welterweight (154 pounds) contest, it was announced today that Ariana Carrasco (1-0, 1 KO) of Las Cruces will take on Chanisse “The Lioness” Jenner (0-0) of Ashford, Kent, U.K.

Lloyd had been previously slated to face El Paso’s Hector “El Toro” Morales, who has pulled out of the fight.
Another junior middleweight affair announced today was a meeting between Gabriel Rodriguez (4-2) of El Paso and Quintel Brooks (2-2) of Smock, Pa.
