RISING LIGHTWEIGHT STAR VICENTE ESCOBEDO
STEPS IN FOR INJURED JORGE BARRIOS ON
APRIL 4TH LIGHTWEIGHT LIGHTNING PAY-PER-VIEW EVENT

LOS ANGELES, March 16 - Golden Boy Promotions' prospect and 2004 U.S. Olympian Vicente Escobedo has agreed to step in and face Carlos Hernandez on the April 4th "Lightweight Lightning" pay-per-view event after  former World Champion Jorge Barrios was  forced to withdraw from the bout due to a right temporal bone fracture above the temple he suffered while training.  The fight is part of a quadruple header at the Frank Erwin Center in Austin, Texas and rounds out the highly anticipated pay-per-view event.            "When I was asked to step in for Barrios against Carlos Hernandez, I didn't hesitate to say yes," said Escobedo, who had to cancel his scheduled April 30 non-televised bout against former World Champion Kevin Kelley in order to fight Hernandez.  "This is an amazing opportunity for me and while I have a lot of respect for Carlos, I know that beating him will be a huge step in my career."            "Vicente Escobedo is a good young fighter with a lot of talent and potential, but he will not prevent me from achieving my goals," said Hernandez.  "On April 4th my experience and hunger will be the difference in this fight."          "Lightweight Lightning," an unprecedented four-bout pay-per-view card features Valero vs. Pitalua in a 12 round bout for the vacant WBC Interim World Lightweight Crown, Casamayor vs. Diaz in a 10 round lightweight bout, Katsidis vs. Chavez in a 10 round lightweight bout and Hernandez vs. Escobedo in a 10 round bout.  The four-bout lightweight extravaganza will take place on Saturday, April 4th at the Frank Erwin Center in Austin, TX.  The bouts are presented by Golden Boy Promotions and sponsored by Cerveza Tecate and Southwest Airlines and will air live on pay-per-view beginning at 9pm ET / 6pm PT with a suggested retail price of $39.95.            Tickets, priced at $200, $100, $75, $50, $35 and $25, are on sale now and may be purchased at the Frank Erwin Center box office, by phone at (512) 477-6060 or 1-800-982-2386 or online at TexasBoxOffice.com. Tickets are also available at Texas Box Office Outlets including select H-E-B stores located in Austin and surrounding areas.             The greatest fighter to ever come out of El Salvador, national hero Carlos "Famoso" Hernandez wants to give his countrymen something to cheer about again on April 4th.  Now living in the Lone Star State, "Famoso" has been working with Texas great Jesse James Leija to prepare for this upcoming challenge.  Hernandez made a triumphant return to the ring in August of 2008 after nearly two years away with a win over Hector Alatorre and it's clear that Hernandez still has plenty in the tank for a title run.             A proud member of the 2004 United States Olympic team, 27-year-old Vicente Escobedo (19-1, 12 KOs) is primed and ready for his run at the top of the lightweight division.  Winner of 10 bouts in a row, the Woodland, California native is coming off of the most impressive win of his professional career, a sixth round stoppage of unbeaten Dominic Salcido in last September 26..  Now he looks to add to his winning streak by putting a former world champion's name on his list of vanquished foes.          Please visit www.goldenboypromotions.com for more information.

North American Boxing Federation super bantamweight champion Bernabe Concepcion (27-1-1, 16 KO’s) had hardly any trouble as we predicted against Kenya’s durable Sande Otieno (16-1, 7 KO’s) and scored a fifth round TKO to win the vacant WBC Intercontinental featherweight title fight before a good crowd at the Araneta Coliseum late Sunday.

Concepcion staggered Otieno with a cracking right counter in round two and then caught him with two more solid right hands but the Filipino decided to showboat and as a result lost an opportunity to put the Kenyan away for good <<read more>>
