(JULY 22) On August 14, 2010, boxing
action will return to the Santa Ana Star Casino in Bernalillo, New
Mexico. At that press conference that was held on July 20th,
Golden Girl Promotions and Eagle Boxing unveiled a dynamite card to
take place on August 14th.
In the main event, undefeated
Four Corners fighter Thaddine Swift-Eagle Johnson (5-0, 5 KOs)
will face Mexico’s Karina Hernandez (6-3-1, 4 KOs) for a handful
of featherweight titles, the WIBA and GBU belts.
In the co-main event,
Albuquerque’s Victoria Cisneros (5-9-2, 1 KO) will get another
chance at prominence when she takes on
almost-former-Holly-Holm-opponent, Melissa Hernandez (12-2-2, 4
KOs), of Bronx, New York for WIBA Lightweight Interim World
Title,
The undercard is stacked with local talent. Duke City
lightweight Fidel “The Atrisco Kid” Maldonado (3-0, 3 KOs), seen
by many as the top prospect in N.M., will take on Colorado’s
Travis Gurule (0-1) in a scheduled four-rounder; welterweight
Josh “Pitbull” Torres (4-1-1, 3 KOs), also of Albuquerque, will
go four with Albuquerque hard luck kid, Michael Coca-Gallegos
(0-6); Staging yet another comeback, Santa Fe’s Bryan Garcia
(7-18, 2 KOs) will move way up to lightweight to fight former
Taos boxer Marcos Herrera (5-1-1, 1 KO), now fighting out of
Arvada, Colorado; Albuquerque light-heavyweight Timmy Means
(0-1) takes on Michael Montoya Jr. (3-2-1, 2 KOs), of Colorado
