After an explosive night of boxing action on June 11th that thrilled fight fans in attendance at Club Nokia in Los Angeles, as well as those watching at home on Versus,
Golden Boy Promotions is pleased to announce that tickets are on sale now for the second installment of the hit “Fight Night Club” series which will take place on Thursday, July 30th.
The event will feature two of the first “Fight Night Club” stars in separate bouts; unbeaten featherweight standout Charles Huerta and lightweight prospect Luis Ramos, both of whom will be looking to follow up their knockout wins in June with more crowd-pleasing action for their Southern California fans.
Also featured on the card will be Fight Night Club new-comers featherweight prospect Ronnie Rios and future lightweight star Carlos Molina.
Featherweight gunslinger Charles Huerta (11-0, 7 KO’s) has kept a busy schedule in 2009 thus far, adding three big wins to his resume since the start of the year.
Now unbeaten in 11 pro bouts, the 22-year-old from Paramount, California kicked off the “Fight Night Club” series last month with a thrilling third round knockout of previously unbeaten Noe Lopez Jr. in what was voted the fight of the night. By popular demand, he’s back for the July 30th event in a six round fight against an opponent to be determined.
Also dazzling fans at Club Nokia on June 11th was the exciting Luis Ramos (11-0, 6 KO’s) who stepped up against Baudel Cardenas and proceeded to knock the 36-fight veteran out in the fifth round.
The win was the Santa Ana, California native’s biggest to date, but he plans on topping it when he steps through the ropes on July 30th when he guns for another knockout win against an opponent to be determined in a six round bout.
One of the most decorated amateurs to hit the boxing scene in recent years, National Golden Gloves and two-time U.S. Amateur Champion Ronnie Rios (5-0, 2 KO’s) is well on his way to duplicating that success as a professional.
Just 19-years old, the Santa Ana, California featherweight is coming off a 2nd round knockout of 20-fight veteran Alvaro Muro in May. He’ll see action in a four round fight on July 30th.
Also a former National Amateur Champion, Carlos Molina has begun his assault on the professional ranks in impressive fashion, compiling a perfect (7-0, 3 KO’s) record.
Known for his blazing speed and pinpoint accuracy, the native of Commerce, California virtually guarantees excitement when he enters the ring for a scheduled four rounder on July 30th.
“Fight Night Club,” is Golden Boy Promotions’ critically acclaimed new boxing series, that will present boxing in a night club atmosphere, with a DJ, music, great food and a VIP room, as well as a unique setup where the ring is on Club Nokia’s stage with standing room area for fans in front of the ring, as well as reserved seating in the balcony.
After the boxing action ends, fans will have a chance to hear great music played by LA’s hottest DJ’s, dance and mingle with the fighters as the venue will convert back into a night club.
