After the legal situation that forced WBA Super Bantamweight champion Guillermo Rigondeaux out of a potential champions showdown on on September 15th, once-beaten Robert Marroquin will now face Alejandro Lopez as part of the Julio Cesar Chavez – Sergio Martinez Pay Per View card on that date according to San Rafael of espn.com

“Lopez was scheduled to fight in a couple of weeks, so he’s been training for at least six weeks,” Moretti said. “If he’s anything like the kid that showed up against Teon Kennedy, this ought to be a heck of a fight.

“Top Rank respects the court’s decision but we are extremely disappointed that his manager, his attorney (Pat English) and co-promoter (Caribe Promotions) would try and stop a kid from fighting when he wants to fight on Sept. 15 and agreed to pay these parties their agreed upon shares,” Moretti said. “It makes no sense and is completely unjust — but to be expected when inexperienced people let there egos get in the way of a fighter’s development.”

New York, NY (9/7/12) – On Wednesday, it was announced that the Isaac Chilemba-Zsolt Erdei fight, scheduled to open up the HBO Boxing After Dark telecast live from the MGM Grand Theater at Foxwoods® Resort Casino in Mashantucket, CT, on September 29, had been called off after Erdei suffered two broken ribs in sparring. The 10-round light heavyweight bout was one of the most highly anticipated bouts on the card, which made the cancellation that much more disappointing. Fortunately though, Lou DiBella, President of DiBella Entertainment, was able to find a replacement that has many boxing insiders and fans alike quite intrigued as welterweight contenders Alex Perez (16-0, 9KO’s) and Antonin Decarie (26-1, 7KO’s) are set to square off in a 10-round match. The bout will be for Decarie’s WBC International welterweight title. Clips of Chilemba’s bout will be shown on HBO.The card, entitled “Road to Glory”, is promoted by DiBella Entertainment, in association with Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing and Gary Shaw Productions. HBO will begin live coverage at 9:30PM.

“Anytime you lose a fight it’s an unfortunate situation, but when you lose one of this caliber it becomes even worse. Fortunately, we were able to find a replacement on very short notice, and not just any replacement, it is a fight that people are legitimately excited about,” said DiBella. “Alex Perez is one of my best prospects and I think it’s going to be a great fight with Antonin Decarie.”

The 30-year-old southpaw Perez had an impressive amateur career racking up 56 wins against just three losses and winning a New Jersey Golden Gloves Championship before turning pro in December 2004, scoring a first-round KO over Farrakhan Cuttino. Perez has had problems with his hands throughout his career resulting in stints of inactivity, including in 2007 when he was forced to sit on the sidelines for 15 months. Facing adversity is nothing new to Perez though. As an amateur, Perez was stabbed, and just three weeks after making his pro debut, he was shot in the chest. Perez, who has served as a lead sparring partner for world champions Sergio Martinez, Miguel Cotto and Felix Sturm, is coming off his two most impressive victories to date; a second-round TKO over Josh Sosa (10-1) in January and a 10-round unanimous decision over longtime contender Francisco “El Gato” Figueroa in March. Now Perez is set to see the bright lights of HBO for the first time when he squares off against the WBC #8-rated Decarie.

The Canadian-born Decarie has become a major attraction in Canada, having fought all but two of his professional fights there. The 29-year-old Decarie turned pro in 2005 and won his first title in 2008, decisioning previously unbeaten Brian Camechis to pick up the WBO NABO welterweight belt. Decarie grabbed the vacant WBC International title in his last bout, winning a dominant 12-round unanimous decision over Victor Lupo Puiu (19-1-2). Decarie’s lone defeat as a pro came against Souleymane M’baye in a bout that was for the interim WBA world welterweight championship.

“Road to Glory” is the highly anticipated HBO Boxing After Dark tripleheader, featuring some of the brightest young fighters in all of boxing looking to continue on their respective paths toward world championships. The card will take place on Saturday, September 29, at the MGM Grand at Foxwoods. The event is promoted by DiBella Entertainment, in association with Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing and Gary Shaw Productions. All three bouts will be aired on HBO’s Boxing After Dark beginning at 9:30 p.m. ET/PT. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased through the Foxwoods box office by calling 1 (800) 200-2882.

In what looked like a competitive match up turned into a one sided affair as Kenneth Diaz stooped Rikardo Smith in Round three of a scheduled six round Welterweight bout at Cancha Ruben Zayas Montanez in Trujillo Alto, Puerto Rico.

In round one, Diaz was all over Smith as he landed many unanswered punches for which Smith did not take well at all and eventually dropping to the canvas in the corner. He would get out of round one and not much happened in round two but the many blows caused some nasty swelling around the left eye and basically completely shut the eye and Smith’s corner threw in the towel at forty-five seconds of round three.

Diaz, 147 lbs is now 6-0 with five knockouts. Smith, 146 lbs is 6-1.

Osenohan Vazquez and Antonio Sanchez battled to a six round draw in a Jr. Welterweight bout.

Vazquez, 141 lbs is now 6-1-1. Sanchez, 141 lbs is now 5-1-1.

In what was a crowd pleasing affair, Reynaldo Ojeda got off the the deck to stop Regino Canales in round five of their scheduled six round bout.

Canales floored Ojeda in the fourth from a hard combination that was finished off by a chopping left.. Ojeda came back to land a booming left hook that sent Canales to the Canvas in round five. Ojeda got to his feet only to eat a flurry of hard shots and the fight was stopped at fifty-eight seconds of round five.

Ojeda, 135 lbs is now 10-0 with five knockouts. Canales, 136 lbs is now 4-3.

The action begins at 3pm eastern.

Adamek (46-2) is now ranked number-four by the IBF and a win on Saturday will put him back in line for a world championship opportunity.

He has to first get by the hungry Walker (39-7). This is a fight that Walker has been longing for and knows that this is a chance to cement his name as one of the top contenders.

On the intriguing undercard, Former two-time Cruiserweight world champion, Steve ÜSS” Cunningham will make his Heavyweight debut when he takes on battle tested Jason Gavern.

“We are prepared to make Wealth TV, a significant player in the boxing industry ”, said Charles Herring, President of Wealth TV.

“Where some networks have shunned away from the Heavyweight division, we believe that there are some great fights to be made and at the end of the day, the Heavyweight championship is the greatest prize in professional sports.

MANCHESTER, N.H. (September 7, 2012) – Undefeated junior middleweight contender Demetrius “Boo Boo” Andrade (17-0, 12 KOs), a 2008 U.S. Olympian, is prepared to teach the art of boxing at the11th annual Fight To Educate on Thursday evening, September 20 at Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester.

Fight To Educate, presented this year in part by Absolute Broadcasting WGAM, The Game, is a unique charity event that combines a love of sports with the vision of assisting children and seniors in need, who with fundraisers like this could be ‘down for the count.’ During the past 10 years, Fight To Educate has raised more than $500,000 in donations benefiting local New Hampshire non-profit organizations.

Andrade will headline the Fight To Educate event for the third consecutive year. He has been matched in the 10-round main event against Alexis “Hurricane” Hlores (16-6-2, 1 KO), who has fought top 5 world-ranked James Kirkland.

“It’s great fighting again on the Fight To Educate card,” Andrade said. “Fighting in New Hampshire helps build my fan-base, plus I really enjoy helping kids through the charities that benefit from this fund-raising event. My manager, Ed Farris, is involved with the Fight To Educate people and, thanks to him, I’m fighting on this show for the third straight year.”

A slick southpaw from Providence, 2007 World amateur champion Andrade has graduated from prospect to contender, currently rated No. 4 by the International Boxing Federation (IBF) and No. 5 by the World Boxing Organization (WBO), as well as No. 10 by the World Boxing Council (WBC) and No. 13 by the World Boxing Association (WBA).

“Boxing is about getting an opportunity to fight the right opponent at the right time,” Andrade spoke about a potential world title shot. “Timing, especially in my weight class, is very important. I’ll be ready when that time comes, but until then, I’ll keep fighting and improving. I’m not going to wait around for a world title shot or big money fight. There’s no rush. Sooner or later it will happen and I’m still young (24).”

Co-promoted by Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing and Banner Promotions, Andrade has shifted training camp, as well as his home, back to Providence from Orlando, Florida, largely because of a knee injury that’s kept him out of action since his May 5 fight. Andrade registered a sensational first-round knocked out Rudy Cisneros in the ESPN FNF main event at Mohegan Sun.

“The knee area was inflamed from being overworked,” Andrade explained. “My quad-muscle and hamstring were too tight, restricting my movement. The two muscles caused tension in my knee area. I’m in New England, which is good for developing my fan-base, and close to my massage therapist. I’m not making the type money where I could fly her down to Florida to massage my muscles. I’m OK now because I had the knots in my muscles worked out.”

Cuban-born heavyweight Roberto Alfonso, a 2008 Olympian, makes his pro debut in a four-round bout against Jamal “Knockout” Woods (2-4, 2 KOs). Alfonso was the 2007 & 2008 National Champion. The 25-year-old won gold medals at the 2008 AIBA World Cup and 2007 Pan-American Games.

Undefeated junior middleweight Chris Gilbert (4-0, 3 KOs), of Windsor (VT), meets an opponent to be determined in another pro fight.

The Fight To Educate card will also feature three top New England amateur boxers. All fights and fighters are subject to change.

Proceeds from the 11th annual Fight To Educate will benefit SEE Science Center (www.see-sciencecenter.org), The Bobby Stephens Fund for Education (www.stepheneducationfund.com), and New Horizons for New Hampshire.

Tickets, priced at $50.00 and $25.00 (general admission), are available to purchase by going online at www.ticketmaster.com, calling Ticketmaster at 800.745.3000, or at the Verizon Wireless Arena Box Office or any Ticketmaster location.

NEW YORK (Sept. 5, 2012) – A 10-round middleweight fight between undefeated J’Leon Love (12-0, 7 KO’s) of Las Vegas and Chicago’s Ramon Valenzuela (7-1, 1 KO) will open the telecast this Saturday, Sept. 8, on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING live on SHOWTIME® (9 p.m. ET/PT, delayed on the West Coast) from Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nev.

The fight, originally scheduled for SHOWTIME EXTREME, will precede the 12-round main event between unbeaten Nigerian Olusegun Ajose (30-0, 14 KO’s) and hard-hitting Argentine Lucas Matthysse (31-2, 29 KO’s) for the vacant WBC Interim Super Lightweight World Championship.

The promising six-feet-tall, 24-year-old Love will be making his fourth start this year after fighting four times in 2011 and five times in 2010. In his last fight, Love, who is promoted by Mayweather Promotions, registered two knockdowns en route to a shutout eight-round decision win over Joseph De Los Santos on July 14 in Las Vegas.

Valenzuela, a five-foot-eight, 21-year-old, will be looking to rebound. The winner in his initial seven bouts, Valenzuela was upset by Donatos Bondoravas in his most recent outing on May 25.

Love, who trains out of the Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas, is an up-and-coming prospect with good skills, movement and punching power. Before turning professional on Jan. 29, 2010, he was an outstanding amateur, winning the 2007 Golden Gloves championship at 165 pounds.

“We’re working extremely hard,” Love said. “We know we have a tough and game opponent. We don’t take anybody lightly. I know the guy’s coming off of a loss recently, which makes him even hungrier to get back in the game and get a victory, so I know he’s coming to fight. I know he has a lot to prove right now, but I’m not the one to make a statement against.

“I’m definitely working my butt off and doing exactly what I’m supposed to do,” continued Love. “We’re looking to get that victory. We’re two young fighters with a lot of skills, and we’re going to put it on the line and get it done. It’s going to be a good fight.”

“This is a wonderful opportunity for J’Leon and he will definitely take advantage of the opportunity to showcase his skills on Saturday night,” said Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions. “We’re really excited and looking forward to him going out there to take care of business against Valenzuela.”

Nicknamed “El Dragon” because he likes the animated series, “Dragon Ball Z,” the aggressive-minded Valenzuela didn’t spend time moping after his last fight.

“I took a week off,” said Valenzuela, who trains at Garfield Park Gym in Chicago. “I got back in the gym right away. I spar with different people – a lot of local guys, whoever. I’m a brawler-boxer. I’m prepared and ready to fight.”

The live undercard fights being covered by SHOWTIME EXTREME (7 p.m. ET/PT) are Daquan Arnett (6-0, 4 KO’s) of Orlando, Fla. facing Jesus Tavera (3-2, 1 KO), of Mexico City, Mex., in a six-round junior middleweight scrap and Ishe Smith (23-5, 11 KO’s) of Las Vegas squaring off against Puerto Rico’s Irving Garcia (17-7-3, 8 KO’s) in a 10-round junior middleweight matchup.

Rounding out the non-televised fights will be a six round junior featherweight fight between Melinda Cooper (21-2, 11 KO’s) of Las Vegas and Celine Salazar (4-0-2, 1 KO) of San Antonio, Tex. and a six round lightweight fight between Zapopan, Mexico’s Oscar “El Raton” Cortes (21-0, 11 KO’s) and San Angelo, Texas’ Miguel Buendia (8-1-1, 5 KO’s).

Texan, Jerry Belmontes, 16-0, 5 KOs is not concerned about coming to the East Coast for the first time in his career to take on Joselito Collado, 13-1, 3 KOs, for his afternoon fight on Saturday, September 8th at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ. The amateur superstar-turned-undefeated- professional-prospect has never been to this side of the country before.

“It’s a good feeling to go to New Jersey,” Belmontes said. “Never been there. First time as a pro or amateur. I’ve heard good things about New Jersey.”

Although the “Corpus Christi Kid” is used to having his large home-state fan base behind him when he fights, he doesn’t feel he needs them to be there when he faces Collado on Saturday afternoon.

“No concerns. None,” Belmontes said. ” I’m not fighting New Jersey, I’m fighting him. We’re feeling good about this fight, and we’re going to NJ to get that “W”.”

Although he’s never faced the wrath of an East Coast boxing crowd, fighting in hostile territory is not new to the jr. lightweight from Texas.

“When I fought in Los Angeles, I fought a guy from there. It was a packed house, and I had the whole crowd booing me. I came out victorious on that card. Boo me, whatever, but I’m not fighting them.”

Belmontes has faced some good fighters in his 4-year career, but Collado, also a rising prospect, is probably the best opponent he’s faced thus far.

“On paper, he’s my best match,” Belmontes said. “He’s 13-1, but I’ve fought better opponents than him. He can take a punch, but basically that’s all I can say (positive) about him. I see a lot of mistakes in his defense and offense, and I’m going to capitalize and I’m going to take him out.”

Belmontes says he’s prepared to head East and make an impression.

“Training camp was great,” Belmontes said. “I’m in great shape. I’m thankful he took the fight. It’s a big step up for him. So I appreciate him taking the fight. And to be on a big card like this? I’m blessed.”

Belmontes and Collado fight their scheduled 8-rounder prior to the big heavyweight triple header that includes Tomasz Adamek vs. Travis Walker, Steve Cunningham vs. Jason Gavern, and Bryant Jennings vs. Chris Koval.

NEWARK, NJ – Jamaica, Queens junior lightweight boxer Joselito Collado, 13-1, 3 KOs, fights the biggest bout of his career when he faces undefeated Texan Jerry Belmontes, 16-0, 5 KOs, at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ, on September 8th. The 8-round contest is the key preliminary bout on a big card promoted by Main Events, with a heavyweight triple header in the spotlight.

Former two-time world champion Tomasz “Goral” Adamek, 46-2, 28 KOs, meets Travis “Freight Train” Walker, 39-7-1, 31 KOs, in the 12-round main event, but it is the Collado-Belmontes bout that might just be the most competitive match of the show. Both fighters are considered hot boxing prospects with promising futures, so their anticipated clash is expected to determine which of them is ready to step up to the next level.

“I think he’s a good fighter,” Collado said. “Good amateur fighter. But honestly, I don’t think as a professional, he fought anybody as hard as me. So I think I’m going to give him a hell of a fight.”

Belmontes, the “Corpus Christi Kid”, was an amateur superstar in Texas, but this, his 17th bout, will be his first trip east for a pro fight.

“He’s coming all the way to New Jersey, and he’s fighting a good fighter like me,” Collado said of his opponent. “He might be a little intimidated. Hopefully that can be to my advantage.”

Collado looks forward to the challenge, knowing that Belmontes represents his toughest test of his six year career.

“I take my hat off to him,” Collado said. “I know that he’s more of a boxer than a fighter. So I’m looking to cut the ring and work him. I’m going to keep the jab on him, sit back, and see what he’s got. I always change my style. I can’t say I’m a better brawler, of a better boxer, because it depends who you’re fighting. Sometimes I box, sometimes I have to slug it out. I won’t know until I’m in the ring with him.”

They say that styles makes fights, and the style match between Collado and Belmontes looks like an intriguing one. Neither are considered hard punchers, but Collado brings a much more aggressive style, while Belmontes has the technical skills that could diffuse Collado’s pressure tactics as well as the home field advantage.

“I don’t want to underestimate him,” Collado said. “For this fight, I’m going in with a “Plan A” and a “Plan B”. I gotta say, that he better come in with his “A Game”, because if he doesn’t, he’s going to get put out. I’m training like an animal in the gym.”

WBO Light Heavyweight champion Nathan Cleverly will defend the title against Vyacheslav Uzelkov on October 27th in Cardiff, Wales according to Dan Rafael of espn.com

“I had a brilliant reception at the Motorpoint Arena in February, which was my first fight in Wales (in) over four years,” Cleverly said. “The fans came out to support me, so it’s great to return again for another big fight night in the capital.”

“Uzelkov’s ranked in the top 10 of three of the major governing bodies and has already mixed it with Shumenov for the world title, so I know he’ll be a hard defense for me,” Cleverly said. “I’ve seen some of his fights already, and he looks strong and comes forward, which will be perfect for me.

“Every defense of my title is vital as I build towards a unification fight, so I can’t afford to slip up against Uzelkov.”

“Shumenov didn’t want to come over here (to the United Kingdom) to fight Cleverly, plus Froch and Bellew didn’t want to know,” said Cleverly’s promoter Frank Warren. “While we look to make these fights, Cleverly has got to keep busy as he hasn’t fought since February, and Uzelkov is a tough title defense for him.”

NEW YORK (Sept. 1, 2012) — Following a back injury that sidelined Randall Bailey for his IBF welterweight world title fight against Devon Alexander, the co-featured Lucas Matthysse vs. Ajose Olusegun bout for the WBC Interim Super Lightweight World Championship has been elevated to the main event for the Saturday, Sept. 8 fight card from Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, live on SHOWTIME® (9 p.m. ET/PT, delayed on the West Coast).

The co-featured fight of the two-fight SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast is to be determined.

For the unbeaten Nigerian Olusegun (30-0, 14 KO’s) and the power-punching Argentine Lucas Matthysse (31-2, 29 KO’s), this will be the first time that each will fight in the main event of an internationally televised world championship fight card.

“We’re disappointed that Devon will not have the opportunity to fight Randall Bailey for the title this weekend, but we’re hopeful that Randall will recover quickly so we can reschedule this great fight,” said Richard Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions. “As every cloud has a silver lining, we’re excited that the explosive September 8 match-up between Ajose Olusegun and Lucas Matthysse will now be in the spotlight headlining a great night of boxing.”

“Unfortunately, Randall Bailey suffered a severe lower back sprain,” said Lou DiBella, President of DiBella Entertainment. “The orthopedic specialist determined that Bailey would not be able to fight on September 8th and requires a period of rest. He’ll be returning to the specialist on Wednesday, but the injury is not expected to sideline him for an extended period of time. We’re pleased that there is a terrific fight between Ajose Olusegun and Lucas Matthysse to move into the main event position. This fight between two of the best 140-pounders in the world will establish the challenger for the winner of the October 20 showdown between Danny Garcia and Erik Morales.”

“This is unfortunate for Randall, Devon and the fans who are looking forward to their fight,” said Stephen Espinoza, Executive Vice President and General Manager, SHOWTIME Sports. “We would still like to televise Alexander vs. Bailey, but of course we have to wait for further information on Bailey’s injury before we can talk about that. In the meantime, we have a fierce matchup between Olusegun and Matthysse on our hands for next Saturday. These men have been training for months and we all know what they bring to the ring. Now, they have the spotlight all to themselves. I am looking forward to that fight.”

Olusegun vs. Matthysse, a 12-round fight for the vacant WBC Interim Super Lightweight World Championship taking place Saturday, September 8 at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas, is presented by Golden Boy Promotions in association with DiBella Entertainment, Gary Shaw Productions and Arano Box Promotions and sponsored by Corona and AT&T.

IBF Welterweight champion Randall Bailey will not defend his title this Saturday against Devon Alexander as Bailey injured his back.

“With this one, it’s particularly frustrating because we’re dealing with a guy who has been (difficult) through the whole negotiating process,” Alexander’s manager/trainer Kevin Cunningham told ESPN.com. “He got the money he wanted. We had a date for the fight on Aug. 25 and he said he couldn’t be ready and to make it in September and he would be ready. So we pushed our date back. He wanted to dictate where the fight was going to be held. He wanted it to be in Las Vegas and refused to fight in St. Louis (Alexander’s hometown), so the fight was in Vegas.

“He got the money, the date and the site, and then a week before the fight, he pulled out with this back injury. I don’t think the guy is injured, to be honest with you. I just don’t think he wasn’t ready.”

“We’re still evaluating our options, whether to go forward with what we can or cancel everything. It’s all very new,” said Showtime’s Stephen Espinoza. “I’d like to save the event if at all possible, mainly because it’s so hard on the fighters who have been training for months. We’re working hard to find options that would allow us to save the show.”

“He might have been stuck in celebration mode longer than he should have been and when he looked up and realized the fight with Devon was a week away, he came up with a back injury because he knew he wasn’t ready. That’s what I think,” Cunningham said. “Devon is pissed. He has been training since June.

“Find us another opponent,” Cunningham said. “My kid is at his peak and ready to fight. Randall Bailey is an idiot. I think he’s jerking everybody around. We bent over backwards to make this fight with Randall Bailey happen and he comes up with excuses.”

Said Espinoza, “I’d love to find a replacement opponent for Devon, but given that Devon is an elite welterweight, it is unlikely that we will be able find a legitimate opponent willing to take the fight on short notice.”

According to Dan Rafael of espn.com, WBA Super Welterweight champion Austin Trout will take on former three division champion Miguel Cotto on December 1st at Madison Square Garden.

“I officially announce that my fight on Dec. 1st at MSG will be with the undefeated WBA (junior middleweight titlist) Austin Trout,” Cotto wrote.

“I’m trying to put this legacy together and this is what I needed. I am ecstatic right now,” Trout told ESPN.com. “I get to check off a few things on my bucket list with this fight. I get to fight in the Garden, I get to fight a superstar in the Garden, and I get to fight on HBO, if that’s where this fight is.”

Both HBO and Showtime are negotiation to televise the fight.

“We are teaming up with Golden Boy for aspects of the promotion, but Miguel doesn’t have any promotional ties to any company and that’s the way it’s going to remain,” said Cotto’s attorney Gabriel Penagaricano.

“We explored the Pacquiao fight,” Penagaricano said. “We discussed it for several days but there was no agreement. The weight was an issue and we didn’t agree on all relevant aspects of the deal, so at the end, there was no agreement. After that didn’t work out, we had a had a short list of candidates and Miguel picked Trout.

“He’s undefeated, he’s a good challenge, he’s a world champion and that was attractive to Miguel. The world title aspect and the undefeated record were most attractive in making the selection.”

Trout found out that he had gotten the fight by phone from his promoter, Greg Cohen, on Friday and said he did not believe him at first.

“He told me and I said, ‘Get out of here,’ ” Trout said. “There had been talks before so I didn’t believe him. Greg said, ‘So how does “Trout-Cotto” sound to you?’ I said, ‘Great,’ but I didn’t think he was serious. He said, ‘This is happening.’ It’s a miracle for Cotto to take this kind of fight. I’m gonna take full advantage of this opportunity. I feel like going to train right now.”

“I don’t want to step on Cotto because the only night he can get the Garden is Dec. 1,” Arum said. “So that means we then take Dec. 8. Hopefully, Miguel winds up on HBO and we’ll go on pay-per-view the next week. That’s the idea.”

“I’ve done that before, going to other people’s house,” he said. “I went to Mexico twice for title fights and I will take that experience with me. I’m ready for it. I’ve been through the Mexican fans. The Puerto Rican fans are passionate as well, but I’ve had my seasoning.

“I am definitely a fan,” he said. “I watched him coming up with Top Rank. I’ve been watching him for a while. I will prepare for the Cotto that gave Mayweather his fight next to (the first fight he had with Jose Luis Castillo). I know the jab will be important. I’ll step around him. I saw how Pacquiao did it to him and I think I have better footwork than Pacquiao.

According to Dan Rafael of espn.com, 122 lb world champion Abner Mares will defend his title against classy Bantamweight champion Anselmo Moreno on October 27th in Anaheim, California.

The bout will be televised on Showtime

“I’m reviewing the contracts with my lawyer, but we are just making sure everything is in order,” said Moreno’s adviser Sampson Lewkowicz. “But the fight will definitely happen. The only way it doesn’t happen is if Mares changes his mind.

“Chemito Moreno has said he wants to fight Abner Mares all of the time — at 118, 122 or 126 pounds,” Lewkowicz said. “I believe there is nobody at 118 or 122 or 126 that can beat my fighter. It will be a very good fight but I think the difference between Abner Mares and Moreno is that Chemito Moreno requested to fight Abner Mares and Abner Mares took the fight because he basically had no choice. There was no one else acceptable in this moment to Showtime for him to fight other than Chemito Moreno.

“When I received the call we took this fight right away. For Mares and his manager (Frank Espinoza), they took a few weeks to make the decision. All of my fighters will take fights in a heartbeat. I prove that time after time. My fighters fight anyone. Sergio Martinez, Gabriel Campillo, Javier Fortuna and Chemito Moreno, all of them. We don’t need to talk too much. But he is very excited for this fight because he wants to fight the best. They say Mares is the best, so he wants to fight him.”

“Mares I think, without question, is one of the stars of the division and Moreno is one of the most skilled fighters in any division, and one of the underappreciated gems of the sport,” Showtime’s Stephen Espinoza said. “You put them together and there are bound to be fireworks.

“I have said I wanted to avoid date conflicts whenever possible,” Espinoza said. “It’s not always possible (such as on Sept. 15), but we’re trying to put our money where our mouth is, so when the opportunity came up to get a venue that made sense on Oct. 27, we immediately jumped on it to avoid the conflict, especially since the other fight (Donaire-Nishioka) was in the same division.”
