SALT LAKE CITY (August 17, 2007) –
Compelling storylines will unfold, often punctuated by knockouts, as a
cast of professional boxers reach the crossroads of their respective
careers on Saturday night in the Pinnacle FiteNite pay-per-view show at
the South Towne Exposition Center in Sandy, Utah.
“Pinnacle FiteNite” is a pro boxing pay-per-view series emanating for a
wide variety of venues. The Aug. 18th edition is promoted by C.A.M.
Boxing, Inc. in association with Sports and Entertainment Media, Inc.
and Gotham Boxing.
Samoan power-puncher David “Tuaman” Tua (47-3-1, 40 KOs), ranked No. 13
by the WBC, attempts to continue his journey back to the top of the
heavyweight division against Mexican champion Saul “La Cobra” Montana
(48-14, 42 KOs) in the 10-round main event. Former world title
challenger Tua has knocked out current WBC title-holder Oleg Maskaev as
well as former world champions John Ruiz, Hasim Rahman and Michael
Moorer.
Israeli heavyweight sensation Roman Greenberg (25-0, 17 KOs), the No. 11
rated European heavyweight, now fighting out of England, meets former
WBO heavyweight title challenger “Dangerous” Damon Reed (43-11, 30 KOs)
in the 10-round co-feature. Greenberg hopes that an impressive win will
position him closer to a top 15 world rating.
Former WBO heavyweight title challenger Jeremy “Half-Man, Half-Amazing”
Williams (41-5-1, 35 KOs) takes on Salt Lake City favorite Gary “Pit
Bill” Gomez (18-8-1, 7 KOs) in an eight-round cruiserweight bout.
Williams (41-5-1, 35 KOs), who has fought as a heavyweight in each of
his 47 pro bouts, returns to the boxing ring after 2 ˝ years of
inactivity when he was a mixed-martial-arts fighter and coach on The
Contender reality television series. Former Global Union and WBC
Cruiserweight Americas cruiserweight title-holder Gomez (18-8-1, 7 KOs),
however, has never been stopped and also has the advantage of being the
hometown favorite.
Undefeated New York City middleweight prospect Peter “Kid Chocolate”
Quillin (13-0, 11 KOs) will open the PPV show in an eight-round battle
against Mexican knockout-artist Jose Humberto “Olimpico” Corrall (10-5,
