The 31-year-old Judah, a southpaw who originally is from Brooklyn, N.Y., has a record of 37-6 with 25 knockouts and was the World Boxing Council, World Boxing Association and International Boxing Federation welterweight champion as well as the World Boxing Organization and IBF junior welterweight champ.

The 38-year-old Casamayor, originally from Cuba, has a record of 36-4-1 with 22 knockouts and was the WBC lightweight champion as well as the WBA super featherweight champ.

Casamayor, a southpaw, also has fought numerous luminaries, including former world champions Diego Corrales, Jose Luis Castillo and Juan Manuel Marquez.
The 27-year-old Davis has a record of 11-4-1 with three knockouts and has faced former IBF junior lightweight champion Steve Forbes.

Johnson, who turns 23 the day of his fight against Smith, has a record of 11-1 with three knockouts. Johnson, originally from Cleveland, won the WBC United States National Boxing Championships title in his most recent bout Aug, 29, taking a unanimous decision over Billy Bailey.

In the special attraction Ron Johnson, the current World Boxing Council/United States National Boxing Championship light heavyweight title-holder of Las Vegas, takes on Dumont Welliver of Snoqualmie, Wash., in an eight-round bout.

Also on the card and making his Las Vegas debut is featherweight Salvador Sanchez, nephew of the legendary featherweight champion Salvador Sanchez.

The 27-year-old Welliver has a record of 18-19-1 with six knockouts and is Johnson’s most experience opponent to date. Welliver has a win over former WBA champion Livingstone Bramble and also has faced current IBF light heavyweight champ Chad Dawson and former IBF junior welterweight king Vince Phillips.

Sanchez of Mexico goes against Jose Pacheco of Cudahy Calif., in a six-round bout.

In their first battle, which took place in April 2008, the two squared off with Dawson’s WBC light heavyweight title on the line. Dawson came away with a hard-earned unanimous decision, but the entire boxing world was left clamoring for more from these world-class fighters.


Chad Dawson
A few minutes of speed bag followed, before Dawson (28-0, 17 KOs), who got a few encouraging words from special guest Floyd Mayweather Sr., wrapped up with the taxing task of media interviews.

“I can handle it. It felt good,” said a sweaty and smiling Dawson of his so-called off day. “I’m working on pure boxing, the things I got to do for Glen Johnson.

“Everything’s good. I’m ready to take on Johnson and put to rest this idea that he should have won the last fight.”


-------------------------------------------------------------------


The 40-year-old Johnson (49-12-2, 33 KOs) — who lost to Dawson by a somewhat controversial, yet unanimous decision (all three judges scored the bout 116-112) in April 2008 — tipped the scales in his hometown of Miami at 181.6 pounds.

“I think Chad knows I mean business by coming in at 181.6 pounds 30 days out,” Johnson said. “I am ready for this fight and I am taking it very seriously.

“I feel great. Let’s get it on.”
Dawson says no problem, but he thinks while the fans want to see the WBC rematch, not much will change from their first meeting.

“A lot of people think that HBO made me take this fight. HBO didn’t make me take this fight,” said Dawson, who has scored two impressive 12-round, unanimous decision wins over Antonio Tarver since he faced Johnson.

“I could have went and defended my IBF title against Tavoris Cloud (mandatory IBF challenger) and forget about Glen Johnson. But I feel this is what the fans wanted, and I wanted to give the fans the rematch.”
Dawson also wants to send a special message to Johnson.

“This fight I want to leave no doubt with him, his team or the judges. If it goes 12 rounds, I want a unanimous, unanimous decision.”

WBA Heavyweight Title


North American boxing fans can view the anticipated “David vs. Goliath” WBA heavyweight title fight between Nikolai ‘The Russian Giant’ Valuev and David ‘The Hayemaker’ Haye, live on PPV on Saturday, Nov. 7 from Nuremberg, Germany!

The question to be answered is will the smaller yet faster Haye bring his explosiveness to the heavyweight division against an opponent he will be giving away 9 inches in height and about 100 pounds in weight to. Many boxing experts think Haye has the perfect skill set of speed and power to frustrate the bigger and taller champion. Valuev claims he has faced and defeated numerous fighters with superior speed.

"My job is to knock out Nikolai Valuev and become the heavyweight champion of the world. I will be the first British champion since Lennox Lewis and that has always been my aim, to be a two-weight world champion"

Puerto Rican Camacho Jr. to defend WBC Caribbean Boxing Federation Belt
against Mexican “Yory Boy” Campas



Hector ‘Machito’ Camacho, Jr. and Luis ‘Yory Boy’ Campas will face off in what fight fans expect to be a challenging and exciting 12 round championship fight which promises to provide great boxing entertainment and a little drama as well. The 30 year old Camacho, Jr., son of former 4-time world champion, Hector “Macho Man” Camacho, will be looking to jump back into the world title picture when he defends his WBC Caribbean Light Middleweight title against Campas, a 2-time world champion from Mexico. The Camacho Jr. vs Campas championship fight is scheduled for 10 rounds.

“This fight card will provide great entertainment for the boxing enthusiast”, said promoter Zeferino Ramirez. “The fight fans will see a tough fight with some good solid boxing with the Camacho Jr. vs. Campas brawl. Campas will make ‘Machito’ rise to the occasion and will either wipe the smile off his face or he will have to get on a horse and ride into the sunset”, added Ramirez.”

The promoter added, “As for Camacho Jr., he will face an opponent who has fought the best and is still going strong. He needs to demonstrate that he can deal with an experienced fighter or see his title aspirations fade away.”

Camacho, Jr., originally from Puerto Rico but now fighting out of Orlando, Florida comes in with a 49-3-1 (27 KO’s) record. In addition to being the current WBC Caribbean champion, he has held the USBO Welterweight crown and NABA Light Welterweight title.

For Camacho, Jr., this fight is personal considering Campas just fought a draw with his famous father last May. “Yeah, I have a score to settle with Yory Boy,” he stated. “This is not just important to me, but my dad also. He thought he won the fight between them and now, I have to come in and make sure there is no doubt.”

This will be Camacho, Jr’s. second fight in El Paso, so he knows the fight fans well.

“I enjoyed my first fight there back in 1998 and have seen a lot of fights on TV from there. I’ve always wanted to come back to fight a meaningful fight in El Paso. As always, I’m looking forward to putting on a show for them, added Camacho, Jr.”

The 38 year old Campas is one of Mexico’s all-time greats, building an impressive 92-14-2 (74 KO’s) record over his almost 19-year professional career. He is a 2-time world champion, having captured the IBF World Light Welterweight and Welterweight titles during his career that began in 1991.

Campas won his first 56 bouts, including 50 by knockout. In a battle with Puerto Rican icon Felix Trinidad in 1994, Campas floored him. Trinidad wound up stopping Yory Boy in a stirring scrap. He lost his Welterweight crown to Fernando Vargas and also fought world champion Oscar De La Hoya, and several other greats.

Campas has shown his ring relevance first in a narrow loss to unbeaten Irish stand out John Duddy and then with an amazing, first round KO over ex-world champ Alejandro “Terra” Garcia in Tijuana last Nov. 8.

Duddy was 17-0 when he fought Campas, sustaining cuts over both eyes and winning a hotly disputed decision. The damage done by Campas put Duddy out of action for six months and the Irishman’s handlers refused to consider a rematch.

Some thought Campas might be declining but then came his sizzling, shocking upset over the

26-3 Garcia, the former WBA junior middleweight champion. Campas floored Garcia three times in a one-round blitzkrieg.

Some have forgotten but Campas even surpassed Rocky Marciano’s magic mark of 49-0.

Campas is a man looking to climb back into the rankings and sees an opportunity in the Camacho, Jr. fight.

“This is not about me proving I can beat both Camacho Jr. and Sr.” he pointed out.

“Everyone knows (but them) that I beat the father. I’m here to get a win over a young fighter with a good record and get myself into a position to fight for the world title again. I believe I can still fight a lot and will prove it on October 30th.
