Ali "Hurricane" Oubaali sets his sights on Connecticut
Star Boxing's latest and greatest on undercard

Bronx, NY - Feb 07, 2008 After his sensational show stopping U.S debut in front of a SOLD OUT crowd at the Manhattan Center in New York City on October 18, 2007, French-Moroccan welterweight sensation Ali "Hurricane" Oubaali (20-3, 17KO's) is set to make his second appearance in his newly adopted homeland, when he goes up against Great Britain's Ashley "Treasure" Theopane (20- 2-1, 7KO's). Oubaali v. Theopane is the co- feature event at the Mohegan Sun Arena Friday, February 15, live on ESPN's Friday Night Fights. It took just four rounds for Oubaali to annihilate his last opponent Victorio Abadia and we can expect more of the same when Oubaali and Theopane meet up for ten scheduled rounds of action.

Bronx, NY - Feb 07, 2008 - When Devin Vargas splashed onto the pro boxing scene back in 2004 after coming home from the Summer Games in Greece, it was clear, after knocking out his first three opponents in the first round, that the boxing world would be feeling his "ripple effect" for years to come. This Saturday, February 9th at The Aquarius Casino Resort in Laughlin, Nevada, Devin Vargas (14-0, 6 KO's) will bring his undefeated record and power into the ring against the very rugged Charles Davis (17-14, 4 KO's). In what is sure to be a crowd- pleasing knock-down-drag-out heavyweight main event battle, Vargas will not only be facing a tough test, but with a victory on Saturday, he will be making another important stride towards a heavyweight title shot opportunity. As the 2004 US Olympic Team Captain, Vargas is used to stepping up to a challenge and taking the lead, which is exactly what he plans to do against Davis, who has defeated the likes of "King" Arthur Williams, Javier Mora, and Willie Chapman.

For years fringe welterweight contender Cosme Rivera has been one of my favorite fighters and Friday on Rivera will be in a 12-round main event in Cosme Rivera vs Raul Pinzon. The reason I like watching Rivera is that he is the consummate pro. Rivera, 30-11, 22 KO’s, doesn’t do anything flashy but he does everything well, box, slug or counterpunch. The 5’10” Mexican Cosme is coming off a tough decision loss to contender Andre Berto last July, but the tough vet planted Berto on the canvas with a left uppercut in the 6th. Rivera is a crafty tactician that moves well behind a well-schooled defense and can also fight equally as efficient inside with a good body attack.
