PhilBoxing.com


This weekend, the Boxing Channel will be providing extensive coverage of the WBA lightweight title match between Brandon Rios and Urbano Antillon at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California, as well as the Paul Williams-Erislandy Lara junior middleweight match at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey. All the coverage can be seen at www.boxingchannel.tv.

For the Rios-Antillon title fight, Crystina Poncher and Al Bernstein will be hosting coverage at the July 8th weigh-in, which will be shown live starting at 4:50 PM EST/1:50 PM PST, courtesy of Top Rank. The undercard fights will also be shown live, courtesy of Top Rank, on July 9th starting at 7 PM EST/4 PM PST, and you can visit our site for post-fight coverage.

This is Rios? first defense of the lightweight title he won earlier this year from Miguel Acosta. Antillon gets his second chance at a title. In his first opportunity last year, he lost a close decision to WBC champ Humberto Soto in a fight of the year candidate.

Award winning commentator Dave Bontempo will be in Atlantic City to anchor post-fight coverage of the July 9th Williams-Lara fight.

This is Williams? first fight since a second round KO loss to Sergio Martinez in November 2010 for the WBC middleweight crown. He is taking on undefeated Cuban left-hander Lara.
