DOUBLEHEADER IN PUERTO RICO: JUAN MANUEL LOPEZ VS. GERRY PENALOSA, LAMONT PETERSON VS. WILLY BLAIN

The main event pits undefeated sensation and junior featherweight titleholder Juan Manuel Lopez (24-0, 22 KOs) of Caguas, Puerto Rico against battle-tested veteran and former two-division champ Gerry Penalosa (54-6-2, 36 KOs) of Manila, Philippines in a scheduled 12-round title match.

After a stunning first-round knockout of Daniel Ponce De Leon in his June 2008 HBO debut, local hero Lopez will need his unparalleled speed, power and accuracy to extend a perfect ring record and become the first fighter to knock out his foe. Nicknamed "Fearless" for unwavering boldness in the ring during a long, high-caliber career, the seasoned Penalosa plans on springing a surprise on his rival.

Kicking off the night, undefeated junior welterweights Lamont Peterson (26-0, 12 KOs) and Willy Blain (20-0, 3 KOs) fight for top-rated status in the division and the chance of a division title shot in a scheduled 12-round contest. Overcoming a poverty-ridden childhood in Memphis, Tenn., Peterson has become one of the junior welterweight division's hottest prospect; he now faces a towering challenge in former world amateur champion and Hamburg, Germany resident Willy Blain. Unbeaten in a combined 46 challenges, Peterson and Blain are both skilled, quick-handed fighters.
