A member of the 2000 United States Olympic team, East Los Angeles southpaw Jose Navarro (27-5, 12 KO's) has come close to winning a world title several times over the course of his nine year career, but believes that now is the time when he will finally strap gold around his waist. In May, Navarro fought in LA for the first time since 2004, decisioning Benji Garcia at Club Nokia, and he's eager to get back to the "Fight Night Club" in July in order to keep his momentum going against an opponent to be determined in a six round fight. In his first fight since a challenge for the WBC Bantamweight World Title last July, 27-year-old Nestor Rocha (21-2, 7 KO's) looks to get back to the form that saw him win four of his last five bouts while sailing to the top of the bantamweight rankings. Standing in his way will be granite-chinned Benji Garcia (14-15-3, 1 KO), the type of fighter no one wants to see on fight night, leading fans to believe that a Fight of the Year-quality match is on tap this July. Jamie "The Nuisance" Kavanagh (2-0, 1 KO), who originally hails from Ireland, but now makes his home in Los Angeles is looking to add another win to his clean pro record. Under the guidance of the great Freddie Roach, the top prospect is ready to make "Fight Night Club" his home away from home with his second appearance in a row. Fan favorite Ramon Valadez (1-0) of East Los Angeles will return to "Fight Night Club" against fellow unbeaten AngelinoOscar Andrade (1-0, 1 KO) in a four round junior welterweight battle. Also in action will be a battle of Southern California junior lightweights,Van Nuys' Jesus Rodriguez (2-0) and Los Angeles' Luis Martinez (2-3-1) in a four round bout. Opening up the card will be two amateur fights.
