GET HOT! |
(JAN 21) Oscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy
Promotions and Portland’s Razor Sharp Productions today announced the
addition of Heavyweight Jeremy Williams to the fight card for Fight
Night at the Rose Garden III, presented by Spirit Mountain Casino. The
heavyweight 10-round main event featuring Williams, currently ranked
#15 in the world by the WBC, replaces the previously scheduled
bantamweight main event.
The event will be held at 7:00 PM on
January 30, 2003 in the Rose Garden arena. Lower level tickets,
starting at $15, are on sale now at all Ticketmaster locations.
Williams, from North Hills, California, has a record of 39-4 with 35
knockouts, and has won his last four bouts. On Sept. 29 in Lemoore,
Calif., Williams stopped Gilbert Martinez in the ninth round; on June 7 at
Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas he took a 10-round decision over Ron
Guerrero; on April 21 in Laughlin, Nev., he anchored David Bostice in the
first round; and on March 17 in Oroville, Calif., he halted Louis Monaco
in the first. Jeremy Williams may have the most unique nickname in boxing,
"Half-Man, Half-Amazing."
The opponent for Williams, ranked Number 15
by the World Boxing Council, remains to be determined. In the Co-Main
Event, Portland fans will welcome back Para Draine, who, after
beating Bridget "Baby Doll" Riley in November at Fight Night at the Rose
Garden II, defeated Marilyn Salcido for the IFBA World Jr. Bantamweight
championship on December 18 in Southern California. Draine will take on
Anastasia Toktaulova in a six round female battle.
