Rick Scharmberg at the Scales
Tonight’s ESPN2 Friday Night Fights features heavyweight contender Brian Minto (24-2, 14 KOs) against challenger Danny Batchelder (24-1-1, 11 KOs) in the main event. In the co-main event, the crowd-pleasing jr middleweight Harry Yorgey (14-0, 8 KOs) battles Ronnie Warrior, Jr. (11-1-1, 3 KOs). The televised swing bout showcases lightweight prospect Pat Lopez (6-0, 6 KOs) against veteran Armando Cordoba (21-22-1, 6 KOs). In a non-televised bout, 2000 Gold Medalist Audley Harrison (19-2, 14 KOs) hopes to get a win against journeyman Andrew Geeeley (11-12-2, 7 KOs). The once-highly regarded British Olympian has suffered back-to-back losses to Danny Williams (Dec 2005) and Dominick Guinn (April 2006). Five more bouts are scheduled. Doors open at 6pm and the action begins at 7pm. Tickets are priced at $150 for Golden Ringside, $75, $50 or $35, and are available at the Tropicana box office. The “Rumble at the Trop” is promoted by Dino Duva of Duva Boxing in association with Star Boxing.
