The card on the 23rd looks pretty sold. I think that Gamboa-Mtagwa fight should be exciting.


On a more important note this is the greatest nickname in boxing history:

Darnell "Ding-A-Ling Man" Wilson vs. TBA, 8 rounds, cruiserweights

Local shows are dope and $30 isn't too bad. I haven't seen Torres fight since Diaz ruined him at the Playboy Mansion.

Campillo vs Shumenov Rematch is Set For January 29


LOS ANGELES - On Friday, January 29, KZ Event Productions and Golden Boy Promotions are pleased to present an evening of world championship boxing when they present "Fight Night With De La Hoya and Hopkins: Campillo vs. Shumenov II" at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.



In the 12-round main event, Spain's Gabriel Campillo will defend his WBA Light Heavyweight World Title against Las Vegas resident Beibut Shumenov, who will defend his IBA Light Heavyweight World Title, in a rematch of their heated 2009 title fight. In that August bout, Campillo upset the odds in an exciting 12 rounder that saw both men hit the deck before the Spaniard took the razor-thin and highly controversial majority decision.

"Fight Night With De La Hoya and Hopkins: Campillo vs. Shumenov II" is presented by KZ Event Productions and Golden Boy Promotions, with Campillo vs. Shumenov presented in association with Sampson Boxing LLC. The bout will be televised live on Fox Sports Net (FSN) and its regional sports network affiliates beginning at 11 pm ET / 8 pm PT (check local listings). Doors will open at 6 pm and the first bell rings at 7 pm.

Tickets for this action-packed night of boxing, which will be hosted by and attended by future Hall of Famers Oscar de la Hoya and Bernard Hopkins, are priced at $150, $125, $100, $50 and $40 (general admission standing room tickets), and go on sale this Saturday morning, January 9, at 12pm PT. Tickets may be purchased at the Hard Rock Hotel Box Office, all Ticketmaster locations, online at www.Ticketmaster.com or by calling 800-745-3000.

Also in action will be undefeated Cuban star Erislandy Lara, Uzbekistani standouts Gayrat Ahmedov and Ravshan Hudaynazarov, and hot California prospect Ronny Rios.

A professional since 2002, 31-year-old Gabriel Campillo (19-2, 6 KO's) really hit his stride 2009. Formerly the holder of the Spanish light heavyweight title, Campillo kicked off last year by decisioning Lolenga Mock for the European Union belt. Just three months later on June 20, he defeated Hugo Garay in his home country of Argentina for the WBA Light Heavyweight World Title before finishing off 2009 with his win over the previously unbeaten Shumenov. On January 29, he looks for a repeat against Shumenov in his United States debut.

One of boxing's most amazing stories, Beibut Shumenov (8-1, 6 KO's) represented his country of Kazakhstan in the 2004 Olympics, but didn't make his professional debut until 2007. Shumenov quickly made up for lost time, defeating veterans Donnell Wiggins and Epifanio Mendoza, as well as former World Champions Montell Griffin and Byron Mitchell, all within his first eight professional fights, an impressive feat by any standards. Although he lost to Campillo in his first world title bout last year, the 26-year-old Shumenov plans to use the defeat as a learning experience and aims to reverse that result on January 29.

Former amateur star Erislandy Lara (9-0, 5 KO's) has made a seamless transition to the professional ranks since leaving Cuba, and in nine fights has dazzled boxing insiders and fans with his speed, power and poise. Fresh off of a near-shutout win over veteran Luciano Perez in his first 10-round fight last December, Lara will face an opponent to be named in a 10-round junior middleweight bout.

Making their United States debuts on January 29 will be light heavyweight Gayrat Ahmedov (12-0-1, 8 KO's) and his fellow countryman from Uzbekistan, junior middleweight Ravshan Hudaynazarov (9-0, 7 KO's). Both fighters are known for their ring savvy and exciting styles, and with Ahmedov riding a five-fight knockout streak and Hudaynazarov winning his last three bouts by knockout, fans can expect fireworks from both of them when they compete in eight round bouts against opponents to be announced.

19-year-old featherweight phenom Ronny Rios (8-0, 4 KO's) kicks off his 2010 campaign on January 29 and if his 2009 season was any indication, fight fans should be in for something special from the Santa Ana, California native, who went 6-0 with 3 knockouts last year. Rios will see action in a six round featherweight bout.

ust got back from the Tacoma card. Was a pretty decent card. Place was packed full to capacity.

George Foreman III won by first round KO, it was against some fat slob though who was 1-2. Can't really tell how good he is yet but he does fight like his pops a little bit.

Big George Foreman came out after his son's fight and Jimmy Lennon Jr. made the entire crowd sing happy birthday since it's his 61st bday which I thought was pretty cool, he seemed really happy as usual.

David Torres was the main event and the local hero, and he get KTFO something viscous by a freddie roach guy (Raymundo Beltran), nasty KO, definitely would be a "KO of the year" if it was bigger names. He was out cold for about 4 minutes straight, they had to bring oxygen mask, etc. I thought he was seriously hurt but luckily he came up.

Freddie Roach was the the trainer for 3 of the guys there, 2 of them won.

Also, a pro debut by David Clark, who was an Olympic alternative twice at the bantam weight division I believe scored a really nice first round KO. He was also trianed by freddie roach. Afterwords, Freddie Roach, David Clark and their promoter signed a contract in the ring. Kinda weird.

Good shit 2-0. Local cards are usually pretty dope when they got semi known local guys fighting on them. Anyone catch the first FNF? Karmazin Vs Miranda was a pretty dope fight and it ended pretty dope.

.. just finished watching Stieglitz beat the shit out of Acosta for the first title fight of 2010. Would have been much better if Miranda wouldn't have gotten sick.

Ooooh, a pretty big step up for the Cuban....Awesome fight...

Erislandy Lara vs Grady Brewer Set For January 29



LOS ANGELES - Former Cuban amateur star Erislandy Lara has made his mark in the professional ranks with the same speed and impact that his blistering combinations make on his opponents, and after just nine fights, he appears to be ready to graduate to the next level. On Friday, January 29, the undefeated rising star will be featured in a 10-round junior middleweight bout that will push Lara to the limit as he takes on 154-pound standout and the winner of the second season of "The Contender," Grady Brewer. Lara vs. Brewer will be the opening bout of the Fox Sports Net telecast headlined by Campillo vs. Shumenov II from The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Former amateur star Erislandy Lara (9-0, 5 KO's) has made a seamless transition to the professional ranks since defecting from Cuba in 2008, and in just nine professional fights has dazzled boxing insiders and fans alike with his speed, power and poise. Fresh off of a near-shutout win over veteran Luciano Perez in his first 10-round fight last December, Lara will up the ante once again when he takes on seasoned contender Grady Brewer in a ten round junior middleweight bout.

"This is a big opportunity for me and I'm happy to be fighting a quality opponent like Grady Brewer," said Lara. "I know he's going to come ready to fight, but so am I, and I want to make a statement by giving the fans my best performance yet."

The story of Lawton, Oklahoma's Grady Brewer (26-11, 15 KO's) is the classic tale of a fighter who came up the hard way, but in 2006, Brewer finally got his chance to shine as a competitor on the hit reality series "The Contender." By the end of that year he scored three victories and defeated former World Champion Steve Forbes to take home the series crown. Since then, Brewer has put together four more wins, three by knockout and is eager to pin the first loss on Lara's record on January 29.

"There's no denying Lara's talent, but he's not ready for me or this fight," said Brewer. "I've paid my dues the hard way and now it's time for me to make my move. This ain't the amateurs and I'm going to let Lara know that on January 29."

"Fight Night With De La Hoya and Hopkins: Campillo vs. Shumenov II" features the 12-round Light Heavyweight World Championship rematch between Spain's Gabriel Campillo defending his WBA crown against Las Vegas resident Beibut Shumenov. The evening of boxing will be presented by KZ Event Productions and Golden Boy Promotions, with Campillo vs. Shumenov presented in association with Sampson Boxing LLC. The bout will be televised live on Fox Sports Net (FSN) and its regional sports network affiliates beginning at 11 pm ET / 8 pm PT (check local listings). Doors will open at 6 pm and the first bell rings at 7 pm.

anyone watch the vaves vs ouma fight last night? pretty damn good fight, close...
I'ma try to get around to watching this tonight. Haven't had much of a chance to watch anything lately. Just finished watching the two title fight card from Japan and if you haven't seen it you should definitely check out the Poonsawat Vs. Hosono fight. They fought in a phone booth the whole fight with Poonsawat getting the better of it most of the time. Hosono can take a good shot because he was getting ripped most of the fight with hard uppercuts inside .. really good scrap.

hmm, gamboa failed to make weight. He's a bit over. Luevano, Lopez and Mtagwa all weighed in at 126. Gamboa is about 126.2 apparently. He has a couple more hours to lose that which shouldn't be a problem.

I heard rumors yesterday the reason he was a no show for the final presser was because he was struggling to make weight, so I guess that was true after all. I see 130 for Gamboa in his near future.

hopefully he isn't looking past Mtagwa, he's a tough guy.

Lopez always seemed extremely impressive to me up until he nearly got KO'd by Mtagwa in his last fight. I don't know if that's him being exposed or if he just fought stupid. We'll see if he learns from it.

The fights tomorrow will say a lot. I'm hoping they both win so I can see Gamboa knock Lopez out.
