Downtown Los Angeles is all a buzz. Golden Boy Promotions put on a display befitting of the 200 celebration of Mexican independence! Everyone was anticipating the feature matchup between ?Sugar? Shane Mosely, who is coming off of a lopsided loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. And his opponent ?The Latin Snake? Sergio Mora. Nonetheless, both fighters are from the Southern California, fighting in Soutern California.
The stadium should be full by the ding of the bell in round one. Also featured on the card are a few popular names. Undefeated and surefire future star Saul Alvarez if fighting Carolos Baldomir?who gained much exposure back in 2006 when he defeated Zab Judah and the late Arturo Gatti before losing to ?Money? Mayweather and the late Vernon Forrest. Also, Victor Ortiz will battle Vivian Harris while Daniel Ponce De Leon will try his best to beat Antonio Escalante. Two up and comers in the Golden Boy stable, Frankie Gomez and Keith Thurman both look to make a splash. And to top off the excitement, we have Kaliesha West and Angel Gladney fighting for the Women?s WBO Bantamweight title.
Undefeated Sharif Bogere from Nevada made an impressive entrance into the ring as he was donning the fur and head of a lion. Got the few people that are actually in attendance excited. He is facing Julian Rodriguez in a six round, junior welterweight battle. All the action was pressed by Bogere as he landed a thunderous left hook up top at 1:42 of the second round to win by KO and improve his record to 17-0 with 11 KO?s. Rodriguez drops to 17-20-4.
In our first bout, Eric Areola of Mexico met Missael Nunez, also of Mexico, in a four round, featherweight battle. In what was a lopsided fight, Areola improved to 1-1 with a majority decision as the judges called it 38-38 on one card and 40-36 on the other two. Nunez drops to 4-9-2.
