Downtown Los Angeles:- At high noon today (Wednesday July 6 PST) Bob Arum?s Top Rank Promotions held the final conference for Saturday?s big fight at the Home Depot Center at Carson, California. The event was held at the Grand Wilshire Hotel in the middle of downtown LA.
The nine-fight card event headlined by the title defense of Oxnard?s Brandon Rios (27-0- 0, 19KO) against Maywood?s Urbano Antillon (28-2-0, 20KO) starts at 4 PM and will be shown live on ShowTime.
The supporting main event which will also be televised features a super welterweight fight between Kermit Cinton of Carolina, Puerto Rico (32-3-2,28KO) against Green Bay, Wisconsin?s Carlos Molina (18-4-2, 7KO)
In a non televised fight, San Diego?s Mercito Gesta, formerly of Cebu (21-0-1, 10KO) will tangle with Jorge Pimentel of Guaymas, Mexico (22-11-1,17KO)
?The fight between Rios and Antillon will be huge. There is nothing like a neighborhood brawl. Rios of Oxnard and Antillon of Maywood will put up a fight that will surely ignite the crowd,? Arum stated.
The final weigh-in will be held tomorrow at the Holiday Inn at Torrance, CA just a few miles from the Home Depot Center beginning at 2:00 PM.
