Last update before Friday’s Domonique Dolton vs Salvador Tapia bout
Everyone is looking forward to this match-up between Domonique Dolton (19-2-1, right) from Detroit, Michigan and Salvador “Changuito” Tapia (7-1, 6 KOs) from Tepic, Nayarit, Mexico.

You might find one boxer shadow boxing in a hotel hallway, but in reality, nothing more can be done to improve a boxer’s chances of winning except perhaps eating wisely and getting a good night’s rest.
On Thursday, April 26, 2018, at noon, the weigh-ins took place at the Tijuana Boxing Commission’s offices and the last minute medicals were done. The latest Borizteca Boxing Promotions show should get off and running around 8 p.m. on Friday evening.
