There Will Be Blood: Mauricio Herrera to Face Jesus Soto Karass in Main Event on Golden Boy Boxing on Espn from Fantasy Springs Resort Casino on Friday, August 4 THERE WILL BE BLOOD: MAURICIO HERRERA TO FACE JESUS SOTO KARASS IN MAIN EVENT ON GOLDEN BOY BOXING ON ESPN FROM FANTASY SPRINGS RESORT CASINO ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 4 LOS ANGELES (June 30, 2017): SoCal boxing in the desert will sizzle on Friday, August 4, as two of the longest reigning welterweight contenders meet in a true crossroads fight. Mauricio “El Maestro” Herrera (23-7, 7 KOs) of Riverside, CA and Jesus “El Renuente” Soto Karass (28-11-4, 18 KOs) of Los Mochis, Mexico face each other in a 10-round bout. The August 4 edition of Golden Boy Boxing on ESPN will take place at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino and will air on ESPN and ESPN Deportes at 9 P.M. EST/6 P.M. PST. Herrera, a former interim WBA World Super Lightweight Champion, was last seen coming off a dominant unanimous decision victory over the rugged Hector “Charro Negro” Velasquez on the inaugural edition of Golden Boy Boxing on ESPN in March. Now, Herrera will take a step closer to title contention territory when he takes on seasoned fight veteran Jesus “Renuente” Soto Karass. “This is life or death for me, because both Soto Karass and I potentially have our careers on the line in this ‘make or break’ fight,” Herrera said. “In order to catapult myself back to title contention, I know the most important step will be preparing harder than ever to ensure the victory come fight night.” Having fought in back-to-back bloodbaths with Japanese warrior Yoshihiro “El Maestrito” Kamegai, Jesus Soto Karass will be well prepared for the challenge to demonstrate he is still a force to be reckoned with in the welterweight division. “Mark my words, on August 4, the fans will witness a comeback as they’ve never seen before in the ring. This could be one of my last chances to go all-out in the ring, and I want to be sure it happens in this fight,” said Soto Karass. “I know Herrera has accomplished a lot in his career, but this win means more to me and my legacy.” The televised co-main event will feature Vyacheslav “Lionheart-Chingonskyy” Shabranskyy (18-1, 15 KOs) of Los Angeles against rising Philly contender Todd “2 Gunz” Unthank- May (10-0-1, 4 KOs) for the vacant WBC USNBC Light Heavyweight Title. Having previously defended the title five times, the crowd can be sure Shabranskyy will be returning to the ring with a vengeance to reclaim what was once his. Herrera vs. Soto Karass, a 10-round welterweight fight, is presented by Golden Boy Promotions. The event is sponsored by Tecate “Born BOLD.” and Hennessey, Never Stop, Never Settle. The ESPN and ESPN Deportes coverage begins live from Fantasy Springs Resort Casino at 9:00 p.m. EST/6: 00 p.m. PST, and will stream live on ESPN3 via the ESPN App beginning 7:30 p.m. EST/ 4:30 p.m. PST.

  • Boxing: Rising Stars Expected to Shine Bright in NYC
    Boxing: Rising Stars Expected to Shine Bright in NYC Author : Robert D. Cobb This Saturday, HBO Boxing will be live from the city that doesn’t sleep, New York City, as Top Rank Promotions will be presenting a doubleheader of two rising stars in the sport of boxing. Omaha’s finest, Terence Crawford, steps into the ring and defends his WBO junior welterweight title on the line against Philadelphia’s own, Hank Lundy, and also in what will be the fight that gets the crowd most hyped, the face of the future of Puerto Rican boxing, Felix Verdejo, will be facing off against William Silva. Terence Crawford (27-0 with 19 KOs) is a highly skilled boxer that is one of the new rising stars of the sport. He has dominated every one of his opponents, he has put on good live shows in his hometown of Omaha, and most importantly, he seems to want to be “The guy”. Crawford has taken a step back this year from the run he was on in 2014 when he faced, and beat, Ricky Burns, Yuriorkis Gamboa, and Raymundo Beltran, and was mentioned in everyone’s list as a fighter of the year candidate. However, since then, He has faced 2 opponents in Thomas Dulorme and Dierry Jean that really got no buzz and has someone halted the rise he was having. Given the fact that the 140 lb division may not be as full with names as the 147 lb welterweight division, Crawford may be forced to dispense with the guys in front of him as fast as possible and move up by the start of 2017.
