Gatti-Mayweather Under-card.

ByBoxing Press 21/06/2005

On June 25 Arturo “Thunder” Gatti will put his WBC Super Lightweight Championship on the line in one of the year’s most anticipated bouts when he challenges boxing’s best pound-for-pound fighter, WBC #1 ranked contender Floyd Mayweather, Jr. Two of Main Events’ undefeated rising contenders will be featured in the non-televised portion of the nine-bout fight card: heavyweight Calvin Brock and jr. middleweight Giovanni Lorenzo.

Brock (25-0, 20 KO’s) will compete in a 10 round bout against 41-bout veteran Kenny Craven (26-15, 22 KO’s). In his last bout on April 23, 2005, Brock out-hustled and out-punched former world-title challenger Jameel McCline to win a unanimous decision (W 10). The Brock-Craven bout will be the final contest before the televised portion of the June 25 card begins.

Lorenzo (17-0, 10 KO’s) will box in an eight round bout against 46-bout veteran Ron Weaver (29-15-2, 22 KO’s). Lorenzo has knocked out six of his last seven opponents. In his last bout on April 2, 2005, Lorenzo starched Rafael De La Cruz in two rounds to win the Dominican Republic Middleweight Championship (TKO 2).

Also appearing on the undercard will be undefeated Paterson, NJ prospect Henry Crawford (6-0, 1 KO) who will compete in a six round welterweight bout against Phoenix, AZ native Fernando Jimenez (3-5-2, 2 KO’s).

Main Events and Top Rank are promoting the June 25 evening of boxing, in association with Caesars Atlantic City and Bally’s Atlantic City.

The Gatti vs. Mayweather pay-per-view telecast, beginning at 9pm ET/6pm PT on June 25, has a suggested retail price of $44.95, will be distributed by HBO Pay-Per-View and will be available to over 50 million pay-per-view homes. HBO Pay-Per-View is the leading supplier of event programming to the pay-per-view industry. For more event information log onto www.HBOPPV.com.

  • Hrgovic's career path 05/09/2026
    Hrgovic has finally made it to the mountain as IBF world champion. He has himself to blame for not training hard enough or working on his conditioning, and his management team for failing to get him a title shot sooner. I get it. He wasn’t born with boxing’s golden ticket — he isn’t American or British. His only loss came on a night when a dirty Dubois had h […]

  • Can we stop rushing prospects now? 30/08/2026
    Can we now allow these prospects to develop on their own time now, please? There is a reason for rankings and a reason why more experienced fighters win. What happened with Richard Torrez Jr and now with Moses Itauma should not happen. We’ve been rushing these boys. We also threw Jared Anderson in the dumpster. But, in my opinion, Anderson never really had i […]
