Woodland bout tonight
Hometown favorite Vicente Escobedo (25-3) and Juan Ruiz (23-9) of Santa Clarita weighed in at the 130-pound limit Friday for their 10-round fight tonight at the Woodland Community & Senior Center.
The promoters announced Escobedo's North American Boxing Organization title will not be at stake, although he must win to keep alive his bid for a world junior-lightweight title shot this summer. The card begins at 7 p.m., with regional boxers in preliminary bouts.
