WORLD RATED FIGHTERS RICO RAMOS AND EFRAIN ESQUIVIAS BATTLE IT OUT FOR NABF CHAMPIONSHIP

"LIVE AT THE LODGE"

8 ROUND SUPER FLYWEIGHT BOUT

MATTHEW VILLANUEVA VS AUSTREBERTO JUAREZ 

SPECIAL ATTRACTION

WORLD RATED LIGHTWEIGHT JOHN MOLINA JR.

Studio City, CA (May 24) -- Just 30 days from today, the San Fernando Valley's legendary Sportsmen's Lodge in Studio City, Calif. will host its first boxing event in 17 years.  Goossen Tutor Promotions, the Valley's first family of boxing, will again look to create a series of boxing events held every two months throughout the year at the Lodge.  

The inaugural world-class event will be held on Saturday evening, June 23, when former WBA Super Bantamweight World Champion Rico Ramos challenges the undefeated NABF Champion Efrain Esquivias.

In addition, world rated John Molina Jr. of Covina, Calif. will return to the ring in a featured bout.  Two undefeated young super flyweight stars in Matthew Villanueva of Burbank, Calif. against Austreberto Juarez of Ventura, Calif.  will do their best to steal the show.

The event will be broadcast on TeleFutura's hit series "Solo Boxeo Tecate" and promoted byGoossen Tutor Promotions. The Ramos-Esquivias bout will be in association with Thompson Boxing.

Tickets priced at $103.50 VIP, $52.50 Ringside & $32.50 are on sale at www.GoossenTutor.com/schedule or by calling the Goossen Tutor office at (818) 817-8001.  Tickets will also be available the day of the event at the Lodge.

  

The recently renovated  Events Center at the Lodge, boasts room for 1,000 boxing fans. Goossen is looking to find the next home-grown World Champion within a celebrity and fun-filled setting.

When Jhonatan Romero was forced to withdraw from the bout with a broken hand, former amateur rivals Ramos and Esquivias jumped at the opportunity to fight each other. 

Making his first steps on the road to recovering his championship, WBA #7 world rated Ramos will need to beat the tough 28-year-old Esquivias (16-0, 9 KOs), who is currently rated #8 in the world by the IBF. 

Ramos said he was waiting for the day the two amateur foes would meet as professionals. "We both knew this would happen sooner or later.  We knew we would be in opposite corners one day when it counted."

Ramos trainer, Charles "Chilli" Wilson, the former USA California State Heavyweight title-holder, said, "Rico will be ready to show Efrain the difference between amateurs and a real fight." 

Esquivias knows the importance of this fight.

"I am going to come in tremendous shape and bring a lot of pressure.  He has some speed and power but I will rise to the occasion.  A good performance against Rico will get me closer to my dream of becoming a world champion."

Besides fighting each other in the amateurs, Ramos and Esquivias have sparred in the past. Esquivias claims to have fought Ramos three times in their amateur careers, dropping the first two meetings but winning the third fight.  Ramos remembers it a little differently, stating they had only fought twice, and winning both.  

June 23, they can settle their differences in the ring.  

In the co-main event, Burbank's Matthew Villanueva (7-0-1, 7 KOs) will look to remain unbeaten against Austreberto Juarez (10-1, 2 KOs).

Widely considered one of the hottest young lightweight prospects in boxing, John Molina Jr., who is a native of Covina, Calif. has posted 19 vicious knockouts among his first 23 wins, while only sustaining one loss.

LONNIE SMITH IS READY TO FIGHT VINCENTE ESCOBEDO IN WOODLAND, CA THIS SATURDAY

Februrary 28th, 2012, Las Vegas -- Super-featherweight prospect “El Negro Mexicano” Lonnie Smith (14-2-2, 10 KOs) will face off against former world title challenger Vicente Escobedo (24-3, 14 KOs) on March 3rd in Woodland, CA for the WBO NABO Jr. Lightweight Title.  The Smith vs. Escobedo bout is scheduled for ten rounds and will headline Telefutura’s Solo Boxeo Series (check local listings).

This is by far the most important fight in Lonnie Smith’s career.  Even after a string of bout fall-outs, nothing deterred him from continuing to work hard in the gym. The 24 year old is excited and prepared for this opportunity.

“I’m a gym rat that doesn’t stop working.” Says Smith. “I have been focused and working very hard. This fight means everything.”

Smith is known for his action-packed fighting style. Although he promises to always deliver excitement in the ring, he is looking forward to showing boxing fans the improvements he has made in the gym.

“I hope that the people who have seen me fight before see the growth and maturity in my fighting style. I believe I have come a long way from just being a puncher. I am dedicated to improving my craft each fight.”

Smith lives in Las Vegas and trains with Skipper Kelp. Kelp is a former world-ranked welterweight, but has developed a reputation as a great boxing trainer.

Vicente Escobedo is a big step up in competition for Lonnie Smith.  Along with facing Michael Kadsidis for the interim WBO world title in 2009, he went the distance against current interim WBO and interim WBA world titlist Robert Gurrero in 2010. In Escobedo’s last fight, he beat former world champion, Rocky Juarez.

To make Smith’s task even tougher, the upcoming fight is taking place at the Woodland Community Senior Center in Escobedo’s hometown.  Smith remains confident, nonetheless.

“I am only going to Woodland, CA for a win!”

On Saturday, a young, hungry prospect is pitted against an experienced, skillful world title challenger. Lonnie Smith vs. Vicente Escobedo is a can't-miss for boxing fans!
