IBF SuperBantamwt. Champ Vasquez Defends vs. Guerrero in action-packed Card, Tuesday May 31 on ESPN2!
LYNWOOD, IL.- World Super Bantamweight Champion Israel Vazquez and top contender Armando Guerrero will fire up the Ho-Chunk Sports and Expo Center in Lynwood, IL and an International audience as they battle for Vazquez' IBF title live on ESPN2.
Sponsored by the Ho-Chunk Nation and Northeast Promotions, in association with Sycuan Ringside Promotions, the much anticipated Main Event caps an evening of high powered talent, said Octavius James, CEO of One In A Million Inc. and Co-Promoter.
"We have the best talent in boxing combined with the country's top promotions teams, including individuals like Tim Brent and Mary Beth Palka, from the Ho-Chunk Sports and Expo Center, so you can be sure fans will get a night they won't forget," James said.
Culture and pride will collide in the Co-Main event, as Mexico's featherweight powerhouse Aldo Valtierra faces Mexico's Frankie Zepeda. And, in a rematch of one of 2004's most memorable match-ups, Hammond, Ind., Light Heavyweight Guy Solis will seek revenge on Indianapolis' Jeff "Boom Boom" Baker.
One In A Million Inc. fighters , Chicago's Middleweight "Marvelous" Shay Mobley and undefeated Light Welterweight prospect Jermaine White, of Gary, will take their next steps towards world title destinies on the card.
The caliber of fighting talent in the One In A Million camp is what fight fans have been looking for in Lynwood, said Brent of the Sports and Expo Center.
"With the absolute best fighters and fight fans around, we're really looking forward to continue working with 'One In A Million Inc.' now and in the future," Brent said.
One In A Million has also generously donated tickets for the show to an amateur program from the Legendary Gary Police Athletic League. The gift is to show support for the award-winning amateur program that has touched the lives of so many young people, James said.
"We have to do more than put on the best shows around," he said. "We have to show a real commitment to youngsters that are working hard on their futures," said James.
