Damian and his Paco Presents, along with partners Golden Boy Promotions, will present the first installment tonight from Thunder Studios in Long Beach, CA, and streamed live on DAZN (9:00 pm ET/6:00 pm PT), In the night’s main event, Fort Lauderdale, Florida’s once-beaten Eric Tudor (12-1, 7 KOs) will take on the always tough Kevin “Thunderstorm” Johnson (12-5, 8 KOs) of Las Vegas. In the eight-round co-feature, super featherweight Justin Viloria (8-0, 6 KOs) of Whittier, CA, faces Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico’s Alejandro Yung Wong (12-1, 6 KOs). Here’s what Paco Damian had to say: How did the LA Friday Night Fights Series evolve? I was talking to Eric Gomez from Golden Boy, we go a long way back, and we both said we saw a good opportunity to showcase local talent in this area with a series of fights that would get people excited. So, we contacted Thunder Studios, and they have been so incredibly accommodating. It’s a beautiful venue. It all just worked out. What is your goal with the series? My goal is to grow this series into something special. More than a show, I want LA Friday Night Fights to become known for competitive and exciting fights. I have passion for the sport and for giving local talent opportunities to showcase their skills. I love collaborating with Golden Boy and other promoters to make the best shows possible. You’ve been around a long time. How did you get started as a promoter? I met the great Don “War a Week” Chargin and his wife Lorraine. We got to know each other, and I started helping them out with their shows. Eventually, I told them I wanted to become a promoter, so they showed me the ropes. When Lorraine passed, Don asked me to be his partner and that lasted a little over 10 years. I’ve had two of the best teachers and mentors possible, working closely with Don and my dear friend and partner Sampson Lewkowicz. You’re becoming known as a cool customer in boxing, no matter what chaos has erupted, as it often does. Where does that relaxed demeanor come from? I remember how collected Don was. I’ve learned from him and Sampson to always keep your composure. Instead of complaining and dwelling on whatever is going wrong, just think ‘how can we solve this?’ Let’s find a solution. No blame. Let’s solve it the best possible way and look for options instead of pointing fingers. Tickets for “LA Friday Night Fights” are available at events.thunderstudios.com. Also scheduled for action that night is super lightweight Ricardo Sonny Robledo (10-0, 3 KOs) of Mission Hills, CA, taking on Dante Ettore (11-1-2, 7 KOs) of Las Vegas in an eight-round battle; plus super lightweight Javier Meza (2-0, 2 KOs) of Amarillo, TX, facing Buenos Aires, Argentina’s Luciano Ramos (2-9) over four rounds; bantamweight Roy Cano making his four-round professional debut against LA’s Larry Serrano Romero (3-4-1); and Miami super lightweight Danilo Diez (2-0) facing Venezuela’s Giovanny Gonzalez (2-6, 2 KOs) in a four-rounder.
