(FEB 7) Fresquez Productions and Isleta
Casino & Resort officially announced the March 22 "Destiny" card--a
triple-headlining, triple-female-world-title fight card to be
televised on FOX Sports on the "The Best Damn Sports Show". In the
main event, Albuquerque's Holly Holm (16-1-2, 5 KOs) and Ann
Marie Saccurato (12-1-2, 5 KOs) will make history by being the first
two females to fight for six titles in a welterweight unification
bout. The four major belts (IFBA, WBA, WBC, WIBA, IBA, GBU) are on
the line.
In the co-main event, Albuquerque's Jackie Chavez (9-2, 3 KOs) puts
her IFBA jr. featherweight title on the line in a rematch with
Canada's Lisa Brown (12-3-3, 4 KOs). In the third televised bout,
Kelsey Jeffries (36-9-1, 3 KOs) will defend her IFBA featherweight
belt against undefeated Rhonda Luna (11-0-1, 1 KO) of Irving, Cal.
Three local bouts will round off the card: Albuquerque's "Hurricane"
Hector Munoz (11-1, 11 KOs) will go eight vs. TBA; Bloomfield's Joe
Gomez (9-1-1, 3 KOs) will go eight at jr. middle in a rematch with
El Paso's Bobby Joe Valdez (9-3-2, 4 KOs) which was a draw this past
year; and Santa Fe bantamweight Anthony Vialpondo will make his
debut in a four-rounder. Holm was also named IFBA 2006 Fighter of
the Year at yesterday's press conference.
WBAN will be having J & P Photography covering this event.
