FIGHT OF THE YEAR CANDIDATE AT DESERT DIAMOND CASINO
Golden Boy Promotions is proud to bring a fight of the year candidate to the Desert Diamond Casino in Tucson on November 03, 2007. The card will be headlined by the master technician Juan Manuel Marquez 46-3 35 ko’s against the hard hitting strong willed Rocky Juarez 27-3 19 ko’s. The co- main event feature will have the speeding bullet Robert ‘’ghost'’ Guerrero 20-2 13 ko’s against the durable Martin Honorio 24-3 12 ko’s.
It is the first time that Golden Boy, which has very strong ties to HBO, will be the lead promoter for a card on Showtime.
“We are very excited about it,” Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer told ESPN.com. “I had great discussions with (Showtime boxing chief) Ken Hershman. We’re looking forward to building up our relationship with Showtime.”
Shelly Finkel who manages Rocky Juarez, who was disappointed when the fight was originally called off, was delighted that it had been rescheduled.
“He was very happy,” Finkel said. “And look, six more weeks of training can only make him better.” This will without a doubt be a great treat to not just the loyal fans of Southern Arizona but to all boxing fans alike.
All eyes will be on the Desert Diamond Casino on November 3rd as the event will be aired on Showtime at 10 Pm ET/PT, for ticket information log on to www.goldenboypromotions.com or www.desertdiamondcasino.com.
