(DEC 9) Today at noon The Agua
Caliente Casino Resort Spa in Rancho Mirage, Ca held the press
conference for the upcoming fight between Timothy Bradley and Lamont
Peterson for the WBO Jr. Welterweight Championship. The fight, a
Gary Shaw Production along with Thompson Boxing Promotions, is
scheduled for Saturday night on Showtime.
This will be the second time that
GSP and TBP have collaborated on a show at the Ague Caliente
venue. Bradley said he was willing to die in the ring to retain
his title, and apologized to his mother after, but he wanted to
let everyone know the level of seriousness he would carry into
the ring.
Darchinyan, Rojas, Bradley, Peterson
Kaliesha West, who Shaw believes has the kind of skills you
should expect in a fighter, has included her for a second time
on his card. Shaw said "We don't put on a sideshow here, this
girl can fight." West will face Kasha Chamblin, who was not
present at the press conference. West promised another action
packed fight. "Ask anyone who has seen me fight, I put on a good
show. Come out and see what I can do....I will show you that the
women can fight just as good as the men can!"
The undercard will also include
Vic Darchinyan vs Tomas Rojas for the WBC and WBA 115 pound
Championship. Weigh-ins will be held at the Agua Caliente Casino
Resort Spa on Friday, December 11th and the fighters will step
on the scale at 1pm.
