FULL CARD ANNOUNCED FOR NIGHT OF FIGHTS AT THE STORM HOUSE IN SALINAS, CALIF.     Tickets Are Still Available! SALINAS, CALIF. (Feb. 14, 2014) - One of the most talked about prospects in boxing today, undefeated featherweight Diego "The Golden Kid" De La Hoya will be back in action at the Storm House in Salinas, Calif. on Monday, Feb. 17 when he kicks off the televised portion of the Golden Boy Live! fight card live on FOX Sports 1 and FOX Deportes against Tijuana's Sergio "Costeño" Najera. The four-round bout opens an event headlined by the featherweight battle between Fairfield, Calif.'s Manuel "Tino" Avila and Mexico's Enrique "Cuate" Quevedo and the 10-round IBA Continental Middleweight Title fight between Salinas' Paul "El Gallo Negro" Mendez and Texas' Raul "El Tigre" Casarez.  Also in action will be San Jose's Andy Vences and a hard-hitting array of local favorites. A former amateur standout and the cousin of boxing great Oscar De La Hoya, 19-year-old Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico native Diego "The Golden Kid" De La Hoya (2-0, 2 KO's) has received plenty of positive comments on his first two professional bouts, in which he knocked out Luis Cosme and Abraham Rubio. Now in with a veteran competitor in Najera, De La Hoya will look to show just how much he's learned since his last bout in December. Sergio "Costeño" Najera (6-12-2, 1 KO) from Acapulco, Guerrero, Mexico and now living in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico, has had his ups and downs since turning professional at the age of 17, but the 24-year-old always gives a supreme effort in the ring and Feb. 17 will be no different. Fresh off of an October 2013 win over Gabriel Lopez, Najera will test De La Hoya this Monday when he seeks the upset win. What promises to be an exciting six-round lightweight swing bout will get the fans on their feet as San Jose's Andy Vences (6-0, 2 KO's) puts his perfect professional record on the line against Watts'Dominic Coca (8-6, 2 KO's). In junior lightweight action scheduled for four rounds, Fresno's Luis Ambrosio (3-0, 3 KO's) seeks a fourth consecutive first-round knockout when he meets San Diego's Adrian Rodriguez (0-0-1). Plus, Salinas' cruiserweight Rudy "The Revelation" Puga (3-0, 3 KO's) looks for another fast finish in a four-round matchup against Iowa boxer and mixed martial arts fighter Charon Spain (0-2-1).  In the four-round junior middleweight opener, Madera's Chris Batista (1-0) squares off against Long Beach's DaVonte Donaldson (1-2). Avila vs. Quevedo, a 10-round featherweight bout, is presented by Golden Boy Promotions, Don Chargin Productions and Paco Presents and is sponsored by Corona and O'Reilly Auto Parts.  The Storm House doors open at 4:30 p.m. PT and the first fight starts at 5:00 p.m. PT.  The FOX Sports 1 and FOX Deportes broadcast airs live at 10:00 p.m. ET/7:00 p.m. PT.

UNDEFEATED MANUEL "TINO" AVILA AND ENRIQUE "CUATE" QUEVEDO TO HEADLINE MONDAY, FEB. 17 GOLDEN BOY LIVE! SERIES AT THE STORM HOUSE IN SALINAS, CALIF.

LIVE ON FOX SPORTS 1 AND FOX DEPORTES PLUS, FAN FAVORITE PAUL "EL GALLO NEGRO" MENDEZ FACES AGGRESSIVE TEXAN RAUL CASAREZ AS CO-MAIN EVENT Tickets Starting At $40 Go On Sale Thursday! SALINAS, CALIF. (Jan. 15, 2014) - Two of Northern California's most popular and talented young stars will be featured at the Storm House in Salinas, Calif. when Fairfield's Manuel "Tino" Avila meets Mexico's Enrique "Cuate" Quevedo in the 10-round main event and Salinas' own Paul "El Gallo Negro" Mendez puts his IBA Continental Middleweight Title on the line against Texas' Raul "El Tigre" Casarez in a 10-round brawl, which will both be televised on the hit FOX Sports 1 and FOX Deportes series Golden Boy Live! on Monday, Feb. 17.  Avila vs. Quevedo, a 10-round featherweight bout, is presented by Golden Boy Promotions, Don Chargin Productions and Paco Presents and sponsored by Corona and O'Reilly Auto Parts.  The Storm House doors open at 4:30 p.m. PT and the first fight starts at 5:00 p.m. PT.  The FOX Sports 1 and FOX Deportes broadcast airs live at 10:00 p.m. ET/7:00 p.m. PT. Tickets priced at $40, $50, $65 and $125 go on sale at 6:00 p.m. PT on Thursday, Jan. 16 and will be available for purchase by calling Garcia Boxing (831) 261-0532 or (831) 261-3214 or online at www.pacopresentsboxing.com. Unbeaten as a professional, Fairfield's Manuel "Tino" Avila (13-0, 5 KO's) saw injuries keep him to just two wins over Jamal Parram and Jose Angel Cota in 2013 after a 5-0 campaign in 2012, but with the 21-year-old feeling better than ever, he is determined to show that 2014 will be the biggest year of his career.  That quest begins with his matchup against Quevedo. A veteran of nearly nine years in the professional game, Los Algodones, Baja California, Mexico'sEnrique Quevedo (15-6-1, 9 KO's) paid his dues while waiting for the big fight he needed to take him to the next level in his career.  In October 2013, that fight arrived against hot prospect  Christopher Martin and the 30-year-old delivered a career-best performance, nearly shutting out the highly-regarded Martin.  On Feb. 17, he gets another shot to make a statement in the tough featherweight division. Salinas' Paul "El Gallo Negro" Mendez (14-2-2, 6 KO's) is a prime example of the power of persistence in the fight game.  After starting his career with a 6-2 record, the popular 24-year-old hit a hot streak that hasn't cooled down yet, as he's run off an 8-0-2 slate since, which includes a victory over Lester Gonzalez in December of 2012 where he won the IBA Continental Middleweight Title and 2013 wins over Alfredo Contreras, Dashon Johnson and Rahman Yusubov.  Now, he returns to the Storm House where he won the IBA title, in hopes of not just beating Casarez, but setting the stage for a big 2014. Raul Casarez (20-4, 9 KO's) is an aggressive and crowd-pleasing middleweight prospect from Edinburg, Texas, who always delivers when the bell rings.  Casarez is also a former WBO Youth champion and holds a 2012 win over veteran contender JC Candelo.  The 27-year-old Casarez is coming off of a tough win over Quinton Whitaker last October and he's ready for battle when he takes on Mendez next month. A full undercard will be announced shortly.  For more information, visitwww.goldenboypromotions.com or www.FOXSports.com/FOXSports1, follow on Twitter atwww.twitter.com/GoldenBoyBoxing, @Tino92, @mendezpaul45, and follow the conversation using #GoldenBoyLive, become a fan on Facebook at Golden Boy Facebook Page and visit us on Instagram @GoldenBoyBoxing.
