Golden Boy Boxing Announces August 27 “Fight Night Club” LineupBy Boxing Press August 26th, 2009 All Press ReleasesSouthern California's hottest new boxing series is back with the third installment of Golden Boy Promotions' "Fight Night Club" as California locals pack an exciting undercard at L.A. Live's Club Nokia in Los Angeles on Thursday, August 27th. In the main event of "Fight Night Club", top bantamweight contender and 2004 Olympian Abner Mares (18-0, 11 KO's) of Montebello, California and native of Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico battles Santo Domingo's Carlos Fulgencio (11-3-1, 7 KO's) in an eight round fight. The co-featured bout of the evening sees Oxnard's David Rodela (13-1-3, 6 KO's) facing once-beaten Bayamon, Puerto Rico native Gamalier Rodriguez (8-1-2, 4 KO's) in a six round junior lightweight bout. Also in action on the August 27th Versus broadcast and webcast will be a matchup between flyweights Sergio Espinoza (16-5-1, 5 KO's) of San Diego, California and David Gaspar (10-2-1, 7 KO's) of Torrance, California, who will compete in a four or six round bout. 22-year-old Ricky Lopez (5-0, 2 KO's) of Oxnard, California is off to a fast start in his professional career and he's already built a following at Club Nokia, where he defeated Rufino Serrano and Eder Peralta respectively in his last two bouts. He'll be attempting to make it three in a row when he takes on Ecuador native John Wampash (1-1-1, 1 KO) in a four round featherweight bout to open the televised show. Former National Amateur Champion Carlos Molina (8-0, 4 KO's) has already achieved a lot in the fight game at the young age of 20, but the Commerce, California native has only scratched the surface on his amazing talent in the ring. Unbeaten in eight professional fights, Molina is coming off a fourth round TKO of Ever Luis Perez in his last bout at Club Nokia on July 30th. However, looking to spoil his perfect record is Kansas City's Antony Nelson (7-10-1, 7 KO's), a hard-hitting battler who is coming off a second round stoppage of Cody Bell on July 3rd. Molina and Nelson will meet in a four/six round junior welterweight televised swing bout. Opening the night of boxing will be debuting junior welterweight Juan Heraldez of Las Vegas, who will face Los Angeles' Luis Tapia (1-2) in a four rounder.
