Cleveland welterweight prospect Willie “Quiet Storm” Nelson (16-0-1, 10 KO’s) is scheduled to take on Vincent Arroyo (10-1, 7 KO’s) in the opening TV bout on Showtime’s “Shobox” boxing series on Friday, April 8th in Laredo, Texas.
Nelson is coming off a first round TKO over Quinton Whitaker last November in Atlantic City, New Jersey. This will be the first time that Nelson will be featured on national TV.
Arroyo will try to make it back to back wins over undefeated boxers as he is coming off an 8th round KO over the previously unbeaten Jeremy Bryan last April in Atlantic City, New Jersey. His lone loss was a unanimous decision loss to Mike Dallas Jr., who was also undefeated at the time of their fight.
