The card has been finalized for the January 19 "Championship Boxing at the Hilton Garden Inn" at Nicotra's Ballroom in the Hilton Garden Inn in Staten Island, New York, presented by Greg Cohen Promotions and broadcast live on Internet broadcast pioneers www.gofightlive.com.

Featured in the main event will be undefeated future lightweight champion Michael "Baby Faced Beast" Faragon (16-0, 7 KOs) of Guilderland, New York, in a six-round showcase against Colombian veteran Andres "Andy Boy" Ledesma (16-19-1, 11 KOs).

Faragon has steadily improved while moving up the ranks and will be looking to make quick work of Ledesma, who has fought well against a number of up-and-coming prospects.

In the co-main event, Washington DC's Gary "Fast Hands" Jones (22-2, 8 KOs) will have the third fight of his comeback against California's Ishwar Amador (11-9, 7 KOs) in a six-round super middleweight battle. Jones had been out of action for nearly eight years before returning in April 2011.

On the undercard, well-known Staten Island boxing figure Nicky "Lil Nicky" DeMarco (3-2, 2 KOs) will take on Mexico's Cesar Gonzalez (4-4-1, 1 KO) in a lightweight four-rounder; Bloomfield, New Jersey's outstanding US Army veteran and former amateur champion Noel Godson will make his much-anticipated pro debut against Toledo, Ohio's Zachary Swallen (0-3) in a light heavyweight four-rounder; undefeated Atlantic City welterweight Anthony Young (2-0, 1 KO) will take on Cleveland's Clifford McPherson (2-6-1, 1 KO) in a four-round battle; popular New Yorker Tommy "The Razor" Rainone (16-4, 4 KOs) will face Sheridan, Arkansas' Josh Williams (5-3, 4 KOs) over four junior-middleweight rounds; and undefeated Brooklyn power puncher Travis "Notorious" Peterkin (3-0, 3 KOs) will look to bring his first-round knockout streak to four when he faces Ralph Johnson (0-2) of Massachusetts in a light heavyweight four-rounder.

Adding international flavor in a very special attraction will be women's 130-lb world champion and future boxing star Diana Prazak (9-1, 7 KOs) of Melbourne, Australia, putting her amazing skills on display in a non-title bout against tough Canadian Lucia Larcinese (4-8).

This event will also be re-broadcast nationally on MSG network in the New York area and on FOX Sports Net affiliates nationwide.
