Amat is right. This fight will sell well at Staples Center. Chris has a lot of support among Mexican American boxing fans. It doesn't hurt that the card ain't half bad either: Johnathon Banks-Javier Mora Lands on Klitschko-Arreola - Boxing News. Three solid heavyweight fights.

Cedrick Boswell v. Alexander Ustinov
Jonathon Banks v. Javier Mora

Ustinov is 6'8 and a mean-looking Russian guy, but Boswell is coming off a career-best win over Roman Greenberg and hasn't lost since Jameel McCline beat him in 2003.
