Integrated Sports Media Distributing Pair of 'World Series of Boxing' PPV shows in February live from Mexico City PhilBoxing.com Fri, 06 Jan 2012 Mexico City vs. Beijing Foro Polanco, Mexico City ● Friday, Feb. 3, 2012 Mexico City vs. Baku Foro Polanco, Mexico City ● Friday, Feb. 17, 2012 Live on Pay Per View - 10:00 PM/ET 7:00PM/PT HOBOKEN, NJ (January 5, 2012) -- Integrated Sports Media, the pound-for-pound king of sports distribution in North America, announced today that it will broadcast a pair of World Series of Boxing ("WSB") events in February live from the Foro Polanco in Mexico City. Both shows will feature the talent rich Mexico City Guerreros against the dangerous Bejing Dragons (Friday, Feb. 3) and highly-competitive Baku Fires (Fri., Feb. 17) in what most likely will be sneak peeks at possible 2012 Olympic Match-ups. The WSB features amateur boxing competition, on a team basis, without boxers wearing headgear or vests. There is professional-style scoring, three judges, one referee and one supervisor. WSB matches consist of five bouts - bantamweight (120 lbs.), lightweight (135 lbs.), middleweight (160 lbs.), light heavyweight (185 lbs.) and heavyweight (200 and up lbs.) -- with five, three-minute rounds. The team with the most wins from the five bouts wins the match. The two aforementioned WSB shows will being distributed in the United States by Integrated Sports Media for live viewing at 10:00 PM/ET - 7:00 PM/PT on satellite pay-per-view via DirecTV, DISH Network, iN DEMAND and Avail-TVN, for a suggested retail price of only $24.95. Both shows will also be available via on-line PPV on Ustream.tv. "American boxing fans will have an incredible opportunity to watch many of the best amateur boxers in the world to get ready for this summer's Olympics," Integrated Sports Media president Doug Jacobs said. "The next group of Mexican boxing warriors will be showcased in these two matches against some very tough competition from Beijing and Baku. There are top boxers from other countries on these three teams like Croatia, Sweden, Bulgaria, Uzbekistan, New Zealand, and even the United States. The World Boxing Series is an innovative form of amateur boxing competition that American fans will really enjoy watching." Arguably the brightest WSB star is Baku heavyweight Magomedrasul Medzhodov (Baku), who is the reigning World amateur heavyweight champion. Other outstanding boxers being showcased on the two pay-per-view specials include: Mexico City - 2011 Mexican National Olympiad gold medalist Elias Emigdio (bantamweight), 2011 Mexican National champions (heavyweight) Horacheta Matinez, (middleweight) Juan Antonio Mercado and (bantamweight) Almeda Lopez, 2010 European middleweight champion Mladen Manev (Bulgaria), 2007 Asian Youth Championships gold medalist Hurshid Tojibaev (Uzebekistan) and Croatian National light heavyweight champion Bojan Miskovic; Beijing - 2011 WSB World lightweight champion Zhimin Wang, 2008 CISM World Championships gold medalist Sardor Abdullaev (Uzebekistan heavyweight), 2011 China National Boxing Classic winner Tian Huang (heavyweight); Baku - 2008 European champion Mahamed Nurud (Belarusian middleweight), 2010 Azerbaijan National champion Magomed Abdulhamidov (bantamweight), 2010 President's Cup gold medalist Semen Grigachev (Azerbaijan lightweight) and 2007 Azerbaijan National champion Ramazan Magomedau (light heavyweight).
