‘Hurricane’ gets dual title shot
The good news? Never mind the year-and-a-half inactivity, “Hurricane” Hector Munoz will be getting a double title shot on April 17. The bad news? He’s up against undefeated Mike Jones when he steps into the ring for, both, the NABA and NABO welterweight belts at Boardwalk Hall, Atlantic City, N.J.
A pro since 2005, Jones is 20-0, 16 K0s. He is ranked No. 8 by the World Boxing Association (WBA), No. 10 by the International Boxing Federation (IBF), No. 16 by the World Boxing Organization (No. 11) and No. 17 by the World Boxing Council (WBC).
Munoz, 31, has a record of 18-2-1, 11 K0s. In his last fight Oct. 4, 2008, Munoz was stopped in the 12th round by undefeated top contender (No. 3 WBA, No. 2 WBO) Antonin Decarie, of Montreal, Canada. The loss to Decarie was for the NABO 147-pound title, then held by Decarie.
