The stars will light up the desert tonight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas as sin city gets a little bit brighter. WBC Super Feather legend Marco Antonio Barrera will try and hold off Australian hardman and IBF Champion Robbie Peden in a highly anticipated unification bout while WBA Lightweight boss Leavander Johnson will look to extend his title reign and turn back former super feather world champion Jesus Chavez who makes his 135lb debut. There's interesting action on the undercard as well with ex-two weight world champ Shane Mosley taking on unbeaten slugger Jose Luis Cruz at welterweight and in an IBF Light Welter title eliminator, Arturo Morua and Naoufel Ben Rabah square off with the victor earning a meeting with that organization's champion, Ricky "The Hitman" Hatton.
