Click to expand...


On a special edition of Friday Night Fights, this Thursday; May 2nd, expect to see an action packed war on ESPN2 when Mauricio Herrera faces Ji-Hoon Kim in a 10 round super welterweight attraction. The televised co-feature will also pit Venezuelan bomber Miguel “Aguacerito“Acosta versus Miguel “Silky Smooth” Gonzalez at 135lbs in what should be a battle between a hard puncher and a slick boxer. With these bouts being televised just days before this weekend’s Mayweather-Guerrero fight, fans should have a lot of leverage going into Saturday night.

Starting off with Mauricio Herrera (18-3 7KO’s), coming off two very close fights; most recently a decision loss to Karim Mayfield and before that a April 2012 loss to current champ Mike Alvarado, he’s looking to replicate success once again like he did with wins over Mike Dallas Jr. and Ruslan Provodnikov. Herrera from Lake Elsinore, California, will want to employ his greater ring knowledge against Kim who tends to turn all of his fights into barn burners as he looks to always score a decisive victory, if he can negate that a solid win will put him back on the road to title contention.

Labeled by some as “Korea’s Arturo Gatti”, Ji-Hoon Kim (24-8 18KO’s) who’s known as the “Volcano” will try to erupt and explode in the ring like he did in his last fight when he put Raymundo Beltran on the seat of his pants in the first round of a ESPN televised decision loss this past December. A Wildman who leaves it all in the ring, Kim has challenged before for a title against Miguel Vasquez but came up short, yet the well-traveled fighter (Has fought in Korea, Japan, Australia, All over the U.S. etc.) continues to impress fans with his whirlwind style and spirited efforts even when outgunned, setting up his tempo at the beginning of the fight can help him cruise to victory.

Another pair of fighters coming off of losses, former interim title holder Miguel Acosta (29-6-2 23KO’s) will have his hands full with the younger, fresher Miguel Gonzalez (20-3 15KO’s) from Cleveland ,OH. The veteran; Acosta, is now 35 years old and has fought some of the who’s-who at 135lbs including Brandon Rios, Richard Abril, Urbano Antillion, amongst others, but has usually come up short when his power couldn’t land. Gonzalez may be young in terms of age, but his pedigree has been proven as an amateur but that hasn’t completely crossed over in the pro ranks with his last fight ending in a decision loss to Mike Dallas Jr. among other losses on his record against Angelo Santana and stepping stone Eric Ricker. For “Silky Smooth” to be successful he will have to implicate a game plan worthy of his name and blend not only his power and speed, but timing to gain leverage over his experienced foe.

The lightweight and super lightweight divisions are packed full of entertaining and competitive fights and if this Thompson Boxing Promotions along with Banner Promotions card out of Corona, CA can properly display their fighter’s talents, we should have some new players emerging in the ranks.

By Chris Robinson

Never one to shy away from the spotlight, outspoken trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr. has received his share of attention in recent weeks due to his involvement in his son Floyd’s recent training camp ahead of his May 4th date with Robert Guerrero.

Putting in time at the Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas, Floyd Sr. has served as somewhat of a mentor for this particular clash, offering up insight and advice on select occasions as 'Lil Floyd' trains ardently for the 44th professional bout of his career.

Mayweather vs. Guerrero takes place on Saturday night from the MGM Grand and one of the big subplots heading into the event is that fact that Mayweather will be fighting on Showtime pay per view for the first time.

Mayweather has noted that he would like to fight five more times after Guerrero, and if successful this weekend in defending his WBC welterweight crown, the focus will surely turn to his next opponent.

Several fans and insiders have been clamoring for a potential face off with WBA/WBC junior middleweight champion Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez, who scored his biggest victory as a professional on April 20 with a unanimous decision over the very-dangerous Austin Trout in San Antonio, Texas.

It’s a lucrative fight for sure, yet the elder Mayweather seems more interested in seeing his son face off with Philadelphia’s Danny Garcia, proud holder of the WBA and WBC baubles at 140 pounds.

“I would love for him to fight Garcia,” Mayweather Sr. confirmed. “That would be a knockout for sure.”

Garcia is coming off of his own rousing victory this past weekend as he dropped and won a decision over former two-division title holder Zab Judah in a bloody brawl.

Garcia had great command of the fight through nine rounds yet saw the action shift late in the fight when a resilient Judah began to turn up the pressure while tagging him repeatedly.

Mayweather Sr. saw the melee and seems to feel that Zab may have let one slip away.

“I think Judah could have whooped him,” stated Mayweather Sr. “He didn’t whoop him because he started late. All he won was three rounds I think it was. He started fighting then, making the man miss and everything. All this stuff should have took place when the fight first got started. You don’t wait until the end of the fight.”

Mayweather Sr. believes that certain technical flaws from Garcia would lead to a disastrous night for him if he were to face Floyd.

“That’s a for sure [knockout] for Floyd,” Mayweather Sr. claimed. “You know why? All he throws is looping punches. Floyd will catch all of that. And he knows what he’s going to throw before he throws it. A fighter like that, you get punished. “

Before our conversation ended, Floyd Sr. threw out one last gem.

“I’m going to be honest with you; it’s hard for me to believe that Garcia could whoop me,” stated Mayweather Sr.

Danny is tailor made for FMJ. The reason why Zab started late is because he is gunshy anyway. Even after he hurt Danny he didnt go full blast and let his hands go. Zab too defensive and afraid to get hit. If Zab opened up, he couldve stopped Danny. The problem is...had he done that, he'd more likely be the one stopped.

Nevertheless, I think Danny deserves a shot at Money May more than Alvarez does. The victories over Khan and Zab are much better than struggling with the light punching Trout. In fact, I would rather see Danny in with Floyd than probably anyone else right now unless FMJ can coax Serge to come down to 152 and take him out if he feels he is really shot.
