[On his training] "I've been training with fast and strong people, I'm going 10 to 12 rounds with them even though my fight is only eight rounds.

CORNELIUS BUNDRAGE VS. JOEY HERNANDEZ TO BE FEATURED

INDIO, CALIF. (Dec. 20) - FOX Sports 1 and FOX Deportes' Golden Boy Live! series returns to Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Indio, Calif. on Friday, Jan. 24 to kick-off 2014 with a hard-hitting main event featuring San Diego's undefeated Antonio "Relentless" Orozco as he puts his undefeated record on the line against fellow power-puncher Miguel Angel "El Anestesista" Huerta of Ecatepec de Morelos, Mexico in a 10-round junior welterweight fight.  Also featured on the night of boxing will be a 10-round IBF Super Welterweight Final Elimination bout between former World Champion Cornelius "K9" Bundrage and Miami's Joey "Twinkle Fingers" Hernandez.

Rapidly becoming one of the most intimidating fighters in the junior welterweight division, Antonio "Relentless" Orozco (18-0, 14 KO's) stopped his last six opponents by way of knockout, including veterans Ivan Hernandez and Jose Reynoso and fellow prospect Danny Escobar.  OnJan. 24, the 26-year-old from San Diego returns for his third appearance at Fantasy Springs when he faces a rugged veteran in Huerta.

Hard-hitting southpaw  "El Anestesista" (27-11-1, 18 KO's) has tested several top-notch fighters over the years, with big wins over Daniel Alicea, Efren Hinojosa and Darling Jimenez proving that when the bell rings, the Mexico City product is always ready for battle.  The always-tough Huerta is looking forward to upsetting Orozco.

Miami southpaw Joey "Twinkle Fingers" Hernandez (23-1-1, 13 KO's) has long been one of South Florida's best-kept secrets.  The winner of eight straight bouts, five by knockout, and owner of the USBO and the WBC USNBC titles at 154 pounds, Hernandez is on the brink of a shot at a world title.  The 29-year-old is back in action after a victory over James Winchester in November of last year and ready to take on Bundrage of Jan. 24.

Orozco vs. Huerta is a 10-round junior welterweight bout presented by Golden Boy Promotions and sponsored by Corona and O'Reilly Auto Parts.  The FOX Sports 1 and FOX Deportes broadcast airs live at 10:00 p.m. ET/7:00 p.m. PT.

Angelo Santana Scores Brutal KO5 Over Johnny Garcia; Joey Hernandez Wins UD in Replacement Bout on ShoBox: The New Generation Doubleheader From Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. (Nov. 17, 2012) – Undefeated lightweight contender Angelo “La Cobra” Santana arrived on the scene in spectacular fashion in Friday night’s main event on ShoBox: The New Generation from Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla.  The 25-year-old Cuban, now fighting out of Miami, steamrolled Johnny Garcia of Holland,Mich., en route to a fifth-round Knockout of the Year candidate.

As an amateur back in Cuba, Santana compiled a staggering 180-3 record, winning two national—and seven regional—championships before defecting to the United States in September 2007.  Just four months later, in January 2008, Santana made his professional debut at Madison Square Garden on the undercard of Tito Trinidad-Roy Jones, Jr.

On Friday night, on his first nationally televised fight, Santana proved he’s here to stay. 

From the start, Santana controlled the bout against Garcia, a rugged, wiry Michigan tough. Santana countered effectively in the opening round, instantly slowing Garcia’s attempted aggression.  In the second, Garcia went down from a booming left hand.  In the fourth, Santana opened up a deep cut over the eye. By then it was just a matter of time. 

The outmatched Garcia sustained a second knockdown early in the fifth. Shortly after, he was forced back against the ropes where Santana unleashed fury.  He finished with one flush left hand that flattened Garcia and forced the referee to halt the bout without administering a count.

“He showed he could fight. He showed he could box. But most of all, he showed us that he has devastating power,” said ShoBox analyst Raul Marquez, the former Jr. Middleweight World Champion.

Santana has now stopped all but three of his 14 professional opponents (14-0, 11 KOs) including seven consecutive in five rounds or less. 

“Just because we didn’t know Santana coming in,” said veteran ShoBox analyst Steve Farhood, “doesn’t mean he doesn’t have big potential.  A Cuban with a low profile is atypical. Tonight, in his national television debut, he was very impressive. I am looking forward to seeing him again.”

Earlier this week, middleweight contender Omar Henry withdrew from his scheduled main event bout with Juan Cabrera citing gallstones.  As a result, Santana vs. Garcia was elevated to main event, paving the way for super welterweights Joey Hernandez and James Winchester to fill the ShoBox co-feature slot. 

It was South Florida favorite, “Twinkle Fingers” Hernandez who took a 10-round unanimous decision by scores of 96-92 and 97-91 twice.  The southpaw improved his record to 23-1-1, 13 KOs with eight consecutive wins.  Hernandez hopes this appearance will help him continue to step up to bigger, more high profile fights, but that remains to be seen.

“Hernandez expects to move up the rankings and get more opportunities like he had tonight,” said Farhood. “But he needed to dominate an inferior opponent like Winchester and he simply didn’t do it.”

Next Saturday, British boxing superstar Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton makes his return to the ring after a three-year hiatus when he faces former World Champion Vyacheslav Senchenko in a 10-round Jr. Welterweight bout. The one-fight SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast from Manchester,England will air live at a special time of 5 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the West Coast). 

Sunshine State Showdown is promoted by Don King Productions.  Doors open at 7:30 p.m. ET.  Six bouts are planned, beginning at 8 p.m.  Santana vs. Garcia and Hernandez vs. Winchester will be televised on ShoBox: The Next Generation live at 11 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the West Coast) on SHOWTIME.

Fight Breaks Out At ShoBox Weigh-In

The fighters who’ll compete in the co-feature tomorrow/Nov. 16, on ShoBox:

The New Generation live on SHOWTIME^® (11 p.m. ET/PT, delayed on the West Coast) from Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla., had to be separated by their camps after a mini-melee broke out Thursday during the weigh-in.

The fracas between super welterweights Joey “Twinkle Fingers” Hernandez

(22-1-1, 13 KOs), of Miami (pictured at the left), and James “Shotgun”

Winchester (15-5, 5 KOs), of Greensboro, N.C., came after Hernandez shoved

Winchester before they were to pose for cameras after they both weighed in.

Their 10-round clash, which will open the telecast, was just added to the

televised portion of the event late Wednesday.

No one enjoyed the commotion more than Hall of Fame promoter, Don King.

Both fighters made weight; Hernandez tipped the scale at 156 pounds,

Winchester 155¾.

Undefeated lightweights Angelo “La Cobra” Santana (13-0, 10 KOs), of Miami,

Fla., and Johnny Garcia (13-0, 8 KOs), of Holland, Mich., collide in the ShoBox

main event.

Garcia made the contracted weight (135 pounds) easily, coming in at 133¾

pounds. Santana came in 1¾ pounds overweight, however, and had two hours to

shed the excess poundage.

Tickets priced at $25, $50, $100 and $200 are on sale and can be purchased

online at www.gulfstreampark.com or by calling the Gulfstream Park box office at

(954) 457-6201.
