Saturday night at Bally's Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey unbeaten Philadelphia boxer Mike Jones brought his record to 20-0 (16) retaining the NABA Welterweight Title with a 10 round decision over tough challenger Henry 'El Nitro' Bruseles, of Puerto Rico. The card was promoted by Top Rank in association with Peltz Boxing Promotions.

Bruseles, now 28-4-1 (15) a winner of seven consecutive bouts since losing to Floyd Mayweather in a WBC eliminator in 2005, gave away reach and height to Jones, who peppered him with jab combinations all night. Bruseles hung tough and with eight of his previous bouts that went the distance, wasn't going anywhere.

He won the first, third and fifth rounds by landing outside shots, and some pretty good counter shots to the head and body. Jones landed many big right hands to win at least seven, maybe eight of the ten rounds. Jones, ranked eight by the WBA and eleventh by IBF, stated "I like going 10 rounds with competition. Bruseles is a veteran. I'm not disappointed."

Thursday at Madison Square Garden in New York City, Top Rank held a press conference to announce their upcoming world championship doubleheader featuring Juan Manual Lopez, 27-0 (24), who will move up in weight to challenge WBO Featherweight champion, Steven Luevano, 37-1-1 (15).

Also featured is WBA Featherweight champion, Yuriorkis Gamboa, 16-0 (14), against Rogers Mtagwa, 26-13-2 (18). Both championships will be televised on HBO’s Boxing After Dark on Saturday, January 23, 2010 at Madison Square Garden.

Last October it was Lopez who faced Mtagwa in what turned out to be a difficult fight for him. After Lopez built an early lead on the score cards both fighters began trading power punches and throwing bombs. Lopez staggered but did not go down showing tremendous heart to get through the final rounds as Mtagwa was on the attack. Although Lopez won a unanimous decision Mtagwa felt he had won the bout and was robbed of the victory. More...

World champions Juan Manuel Lopez, Steven Luevano and Yuriorkis Gamboa, and Top-10 contender Rogers Mtagwa will kickoff the new decade in separate world featherweight title fights, Saturday, January 23, in the WaMu Theater in the “Mecca of Boxing,” Madison Square Garden. More...

And Solis is in a division searching for “Mr. Heavyweight.” I think that Solis, with his amateur credentials, was something that being in a partnership with Ahmet Öhner and Arena Box-Promotion, his organization, was something that Top Rank wanted to pursue because we believed in the product and build exposure around him.

The world's top flyweight is now in the running for that same position at super flyweight after Nonito Donaire handled the jump up to 115 pounds by outboxing Rafael Concepcion last night at the Hard Rock Casino in Las Vegas, NV.

At stake was the Interim WBA super fly crown, which Concepcion held at one point last year, and the Panamanian made every effort to make Donaire get into the trenches as Concepcion's natural size advantage was maximized after coming in more than four pounds above the super flyweight limit.

Concepcion might not have been able to assume the title even if he won the bout due to the weight overage but Donaire had no such limitation and fought a textbook bout, taking advantage of his edge in experience and quickness to outbox his bigger foe.

The busier style of Concepcion made it close but in the end, the judges favored the accuracy of Donaire, who was awarded a UD via scores of 117-111, 116-112 and 115-113. More...

IBF light fly kingpin Nonito Donaire heads up to super flyweight tonight at the Hard Rock Casino in Las Vegas, NV, contending for the Interim WBA crown against Panama's Rafael Concepcion.

Donaire, 21-1 (14), is coming off three title defenses of the IBF strap he won by expertly dismantling Aussie bomber Vic Darchinyan two years ago and the Filipino stylist should be able to handle the challenge of Concepcion with equal dexterity.

Concepcion, 13-3 (8), won the Interim WBA super fly title by gunning down previously undefeated AJ Banal a year ago but was stopped in the ninth in his next bout during a slugfest with Mexico's Jorge Arce, losing the interim belt in the process.

The Panama City man regained his footing with an eight rounds points verdict over aging ex-WBO minimumweight boss Kermin Guardia in February but will have to pull off a career best performance if he is to overcome the higher skilled Donaire.

The chief support bout features WBO feather champ Steven Luevano, 36-1-1 (15), meeting the challenge of WBC International beltholder Bernabe Concepcion, 29-1-1 (16), in what should be a good contest.

Rafael Concepcion:"I know Las Vegas and I know there will be Latino fans in the arena rooting for me on Saturday night. There will be Mexican fans for sure on my side. I've trained hard and I will win. Panama fighters do not lose to Filipinos. We're 4-0 in title fights."

Nonito Donaire: "I've seen one video of Concepcion. He has a lot of heart which tells me he can be very dangerous inside the ring. I am going to rely on my speed and power to get through this one. Before I leave the 115 pound division, I want to fight Jorge Arce and Fernando Montiel. Those two are on my mind and it doesn't matter who is first." More...
