OTX 16 – Houston’s Night of Unbeaten Aspirations
Houston is buzzing. On Saturday, September 20, 2025, Overtime Boxing (OTX) returns to the Bayou Music Center, showcasing one of the most exciting fight cards of the year. The spotlight shines brightest on a showdown between two undefeated phenoms:
Breyon “G Time” Gorham (19‑0, 15 KOs), the Houston favorite, steps up to headline on home turf
Jose “Choche” Vazquez (19‑0, 3 KOs), a disciplined, sharp prospect from Jalisco, Mexico
They collide for the vacant IBF North America Super Lightweight (140 lb) title, a fight that promises to shift the regional boxing landscape.
It’s much more than a title fight—it’s a clash of styles and ambition. As Viva Houston Media puts it:
“This clash of unbeatens is more than a fight—it’s a statement. Gorham’s aggressive style and Vazquez’s technical precision set the stage for a battle that could shake up the super lightweight rankings. Adding to the local flavor, hometown hero Giovanni Marquez (13‑0) steps back in the ring as the co‑main event against seasoned contender Wesley Ferrer (17‑2‑1). The son of former world champ Raul “El Diamante” Marquez, Giovanni brings heart and sharp boxing IQ to fight night in Houston.
The undercard is stacked with knockout potential:
Oscar Perez (13‑0‑2) vs. Malik Lewis (8‑1)
Dorian Mendez (6‑0) vs. Fabian Diaz (8‑0‑1) — a high-stakes “Pink Slips” matchup with future OTX opportunities on the line
And rising prospect Mauricio Quintanilla (3‑0) takes on Roberto Pina (3‑6‑1)
OTX General Manager Brandon Rhodes says it best:
“OTX is proud to return to Houston with our biggest night yet... Fans can expect the same OTX innovation, a charged atmosphere, and the type of unforgettable fights that make Houston one of the premier boxing cities in the world.”
Event Snapshot:
What: OTX 16 — 7-fight card including IBF North America Super Lightweight Title

Watch: Live on DAZN
Why OTX 16 Matters to H-Town:
This is a night where local pride meets rising national relevance. Breyon Gorham fights for more than just a belt—he fights for the city’s esteem. Add to that Giovanni Marquez's return, and the undercard's future stars, and it’s a perfect storm of local narrative and raw talent.

USL2 Gameday Preview: AC Houston Sur vs AHFC Royals
Two Houston-based clubs look to rebound as AC Houston Sur hosts the AHFC Royals on Wednesday, June 18, at 7:00 PM at Indian Stadium in a key USL League Two matchup.
AC Houston Sur is aiming to regroup after a tough home loss to GFI Academy, where they couldn't capitalize on their chances. With another opportunity on home soil, Sur will look to tighten up defensively and reassert themselves in the Texas Division.
