Fresh off last week's Junior Olympic qualifiers, the region will hold a pair of amateur shows this Saturday.

First, “Steady Mobbin’ Round Three” will take place at Superior Fighting Academy in West Sacramento at 1 p.m.  Nationally recognized 123-pounders Gary Salazar of Fresno and Mario Ayala of Sacramento will duke it out in a rematch.  Salazar outpointed Ayala in their first meeting two weeks ago at Fresno's Velarde Training Center.

In the Central California region, a USA Boxing-sanctioned event will occur at El Monte Middle School in Orosi at 4 p.m.  Among the matchups on the docket is a 114-pound Regional Junior Olympics qualifier between Fresno's Isidro Ochoa and Salinas' Ruben "Dracula" Villa.
