(FEB 6) – Boxing’s next generation of
stars will be present and accounted for on Saturday, March 7, when
Golden Boy Promotions presents an explosive triple-header boxing event
featuring the top young talent in the sport at HP Pavilion at San Jose
located in the heart of Silicon Valley.
The HBO Boxing After Dark show will feature a 10 round junior
middleweight showdown between knockout artists James Kirkland and Joel
Julio, two of boxing’s hardest punchers. In one of the co-featured
bouts, the NABO and USBA junior welterweight crowns will be on the line
when “Vicious” Victor Ortiz takes on “Mighty” Mike Arnaoutis. Opening
the telecast will be two-time featherweight World Champion and Gilroy,
California native Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero in a ten round junior
lightweight contest against undefeated contender Daud Yordan.
“This is the type of event that fight fans will be talking about for
months and years to come,” said Oscar de la Hoya, President of Golden
Boy Promotions. “To have all this talent on one card is an amazing feat.
I think it is safe to say, that for the fighters that emerge victorious
March 7, was the night when they truly established themselves as the
fighters to carry this sport into the next era.”
