Boxing promoter Top Rank has put together a nice fight card to take place in Las Vegas at The Orleans Arena on Thursday night. The bouts will be shown on The Outdoor Life Network (OLN), a channel found in most basic cable television packages.
In the main event, Almazbek Raiymkulov aka "Kid Diamond" will take on Jairo Rafael Ramirez in a 12 round bout for the NABF Lightweight Title.
The main supporting bout will almost guarantee fireworks in a rematch between middleweights Jose Luis Zertuche and Fulgencio Zuniga. Their first bout back in April of 2005 resulted in a 12 round draw. The two will have ten rounds this time around to try and settle the score.
Also featured on the card will be Ahmed Kaddour, well known for his days on The Contender series, and Andy Lee, the southpaw middleweight prospect from Ireland and Emanuel Steward's famous Kronk Gym.
