FBA Messin' In Texas: Sat. Jan 30
Hopkins headlines card
The Federal Boxing Alliance's feature card this week comes from the Don Haskins Center in El Paso, Texas.
In the main event, the IBF's #1 seeded middleweight, Bernard Hopkins, starts his quest for the title against #16 Gilbert Baptiste. "The Executioner" is heavily favored and rightly so, with many feeling he will blaze through the IBF tournament.
In the co-feature, Terry Norris (WBA Jr. Middleweight #3 seed) takes on #14 Anthony Jones. After watching #4 seed John Mugabi get taken out last week, you can be sure Norris will not be taking Jones lightly.
Also on the card:
IBF Featherweight: #4 Johnny Famechon vs #13 Antonio Rivera
IBF Jr. Lightweight: #5 Tony Lopez vs #12 Yodsanan Nanthachai
IBF Welterweight: #4 Simon Brown vs #13 Dave Green
WBA Bantamweight: #3 Lupe Pintor vs #14 Roberto Rubaldino
