FORMER WORLD TITLE CHALLENGER FERNANDO GUERRERO TO FACE RAYMOND GATICA AS THE CO-MAIN EVENT ONMONDAY, NOV. 11 AT COWBOYS DANCEHALL IN GOLDEN BOY LIVE! RETURN TO SAN ANTONIO LIVE ON FOX SPORTS 1 AND FOX DEPORTES

PLUS! 2012 U.S. OLYMPIAN TERRELL GAUSHA TO BE FEATURED SAN ANTONIO (Oct. 28) - One of boxing's most popular action fighters, former middleweight world title challenger Fernando Guerrero will look to thrill boxing fans on Monday, Nov. 11 when he squares off against Austin's Raymond Gatica in the 10-round co-main event of FOX Sports 1 and FOX Deportes' Golden Boy Live! (10:00 p.m. ET/9:00 p.m. CT/7:00 p.m. PT) at Cowboys Dancehall in San Antonio, Texas. "I'm excited to return to the ring and get back in the title picture," said Guerrero.  "The Texas fans were great to me when I fought there against JC Candelo last year and I promise to give them another show to remember on November 11." "Fernando Guerrero is a big name in the division and I have a lot of respect for him," said Gatica.  "But, I have every intention of beating him in front of my fellow Texans and making a big statement." In the 10-round main event, it's a meeting of junior welterweight southpaws when Fidel "The Atrisco Kid" Maldonado Jr. and Luis Ramos Jr. meet in the ring. "Fernando Guerrero is one of my favorite fighters to watch and he brings it every time," said Mike Battah, President of Battah*Leija Promotions.  "He had a great performance in Texas against JC Candelo and the San Antonio fans wanted him again, so we got him.  He's in for a tough test in Raymond Gatica and I think we're going to be in for a great fight on November 11." Also added to the televised portion of the card is an eight-round middleweight bout featuring unbeaten 2012 U.S. Olympian Terrell Gausha against an opponent to be determined. Twenty-seven year-old southpaw Fernando Guerrero (25-2, 19 KO's) has always been a must-see for boxing fans and he doesn't disappoint.  A native of the Dominican Republic who later became synonymous with his adopted hometown of Salisbury, Maryland, Guerrero parlayed a four-fight winning streak from 2011-2012 into a world title shot against current WBO Middleweight Champion Peter "Kid Chocolate" Quillin in April of 2013.  Guerrero fell short of victory that night, but he's eager to get back in the title race beginning with his Nov. 11 bout against Gatica. Austin's Raymond Gatica (13-1, 8 KO's) is a former Texas State Welterweight Champion who is unbeaten in two fights since moving to the middleweight division in 2013 where the 29-year-old upset Raul Casarez in April.  In his most recent bout on June 28, he stopped Juan Reyna in four rounds, making it clear that he's ready for his FOX national television debut against Guerrero. Since emerging from the London Olympics, Team USA member Terrell Gausha (11-2, 6 KO's) has proven to be one of the most promising members of the Class of 2012, showing off speed, savvy and power as he's scored six post-Olympic wins, four by knockout.  Fresh from a recent first-round technical knockout over Bruce Runkle in September, the 26-year-old from Cleveland will attempt to keep the momentum going in Texas. Maldonado Jr. vs. Ramos Jr. is a 10-round junior welterweight bout presented by Golden Boy Promotions and Leija*Battah Promotions and sponsored by Corona and O'Reilly Auto Parts. Cowboys Dancehall doors open at 5:00 p.m. CT and the first fight starts at 6:30 p.m. CT.  In the co-main event, Fernando Guerrero squares off against Raymond Gatica in a 10-round middleweight bout.  The FOX Sports 1 and FOX Deportes broadcast airs live at 10:00 p.m. ET/9:00 p.m. CT/7:00 p.m. PT.

MARVELOUS ABNER MARES WINS SECOND WORLD TITLE; ANSELMO MORENO MAKES 10TH CHAMPIONSHIP DEFENSE

Saturday’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® Telecast Will Replay Sunday, April 22 at 9:30 a.m. on ET/PT SHOWTIME® and Tuesday, April 24 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME®

EL PASO, Texas (April 22, 2012) – Abner Mares has power, he has speed, and now he has a second world championship belt. Mares, the 26-year-old undefeated Mexican American from Hawaiian Gardens, Calif., by way of Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, captured the vacant WBC Super Bantamweight World Championship with an emphatic victory over game veteran Eric Morel on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on Saturday night at the Don Haskins Center in El Paso, Texas.

In the co-feature, Anselmo Moreno, the slick and talented Panamanian world champion, cruised to victory over David de la Mora with a ninth-round technical knockout.

Mares, who recently vacated the IBF bantamweight title, brought considerable power up to 122 pounds and seemed to sacrifice none of his hand speed. Morel, 10 years Mares’ senior, is a veteran of nine world title fights and a former two-time world champion. Morel admitted coming into the fight that this could be his last shot at one of boxing’s crowns. The Puerto Rico native, now living and fighting out of Madison, Wisconsin, came to win, but Mares’ confidence and ability won the night.

Fighting aggressively for every minute of every round, Mares dominated from the early going with a damaging body attack. He moved fluidly from the body to the head, stunning Morel on several occasions.

What Morel gave up in age, he made up for in heart. Morel withstood the punishment dolled out by the younger Mares. He gave a valiant effort right through the final two rounds, making the 11th and 12th the two most exciting and competitive of the bout.

“If this is the last major fight of his career,” said Hall of Fame analyst Al Bernstein during the telecast, “and it very well could be, he has nothing to be ashamed of.”

The judges had it unanimously for Mares by scores of 120-107 and 119-109 twice. The young star improved his record to 24-0-1 (13 KO’s) and is looking for his next challenge - a fight with the super bantamweight division’s elite.

After the bout, a joyful Mares said the move up in weight was a good one for him. “I felt a lot stronger at this weight. I felt complete.

“I have to say Eric was very strong. I was surprised he withstood the pressure. He went out like a true champion. That last round was a great round for both of us.”

The modest champion continued, “I feel I still need to improve. I am still learning. Sometimes I make it brawl when I don’t have to, so there’s definitely more I can do.”

When asked if he had been 10 years younger tonight, Morel said, “The (age) doesn’t matter. He probably would have done the same thing. He’s a great fighter. He’s one of the best I’ve ever faced. I have nothing to be ashamed of. He put on a great performance. What else can I say?”

***

The 26-year old Moreno was coming off of a big win over tough veteran Vic Darchinyan. On Saturday, he made the 10th successful defense of his WBA Bantamweight Championship.

Moreno used his superior reach and defense to dispatch De La Mora, who retired after the 8th round. De La Mora went down twice in the fight - in the second and sixth rounds - both times from vicious body punches.

According to SHOStats, over his last five fights, Moreno’s defense has been hit with just 17-percent of his opponents’ punches - second only to Floyd Mayweather.

Moreno improved his record to 33-1-1 adding a 12th knockout.

A 10-year professional at just 26 years-old, Moreno impressed ringside analyst Antonio Tarver and undoubtedly many others. Tarver said, “This guy could be head and shoulders above the rest in the bantamweight division, but now it’s time to see him against the best.”

Additional preliminary bouts aired live on SHOWTIME EXTREME.

Light heavyweight prospect Rowland Bryant (16-1, 11 KO’s) of St. Augustine, Fla., made a statement by stopping veteran Librado Andrade (30-5, 23 KO’s) of La Habra, Calif., by TKO at 2:19 of the third round.
Luis Ramos, Jr. (22-0, 9 KO’s) looked sharp in his 10-round decision victory over veteran Daniel Attah (26-10-1, 9 KO’s). Ramos, the lightweight prospect out of Santa Ana, Calif., won by scores of 100-89 and 99-90 twice.

Also, Francisco Vargas (10-0-1, 7 KO’s) of Mexico City, Mexico, scored a technical knockout win over Rafael Lora (11-8, 5 KO’s) of Irvington, New Jersey in the third round.
