Fight Night Club Wraps Up 2011 Tonight In LA

ByBoxing Press

The latest outstanding talent to emerge from Oxnard, California, unbeaten junior middleweight Hugo Centeno Jr., will have LA’s lights shining brightly on him this Thursday, December 1 when he headlines the 2011 season finale of Golden Boy Promotions and AEG’s “Fight Night Club” at L.A. Live’s Club Nokia.

Former World Champions Paulie “Magic Man” Malignaggi and Michael Katsidis “The Great” are set to take in the boxing action tomorrow night.

Former amateur star Centeno Jr (10-0, 6 KO’s) will battle tough Idaho native David Lopez (3-6-3) in the six round main event while in the co-feature, scheduled for four rounds in the junior lightweight division, Montebello’s Santiago Guevara (1-0) faces Chula Vista’s Salvador Cifuentes (1-2).

Guevara shut out Naphi Mohammad in his professional debut at Club Nokia in October and based on that performance, fans will be happy to see him back in the ring this Thursday.

Another “Fight Night Club” debutant from October 27, Los Angeles junior welterweight Luis Mora (1-0, 1 KO), took just 2:08 minutes to win his first professional fight and he’ll look to match or surpass that performance in his second fight against Las Vegas’ Cameron Krael (0-0-1) in the four round fight opening televised fight.

A California Golden Gloves champion who has been developing his boxing skills under the tutelage of Freddie Roach, Hollywood’s Zachary “Kid Yamaka” Wohlman will make his highly-anticipated professional debut this week in a four round welterweight fight against the always-tough Ricardo Malfavon (1-6-1, 1 KO) of Santa Ana.

Opening the night of boxing will be a four round middleweight matchup between debuting Orlando, Florida native Daquan Arnett and Watts’Cleven Ishe (3-3).
