PRESS RELEASE: On Friday, December 14, 2007 Octavius James’ One In A Million Inc. promotes their final event of 2007, at Majestic Star Casino in Gary, Indiana.  Headlined by light welterweight “Merciless” Mary McGee (12-0, 7 KOs), the card also features a rematch between crosstown rivals Jermaine White of Gary and Ruben Galvan of Hammond, plus, in separate bouts, local standouts Don Moore and Jimmy Perez Jr.

Born and raised in Gary, Indiana, undefeated Mary McGee (12-0, 7 KOs) headlines her first event in her hometownsince winning a regional title-- that happened on October 19th with a fifth round TKO over Tawnyah Freeman. McGee enjoys tremendous support from the citizens of Gary, a city with a rich boxing history going back to Tony Zale.

“I’m proud to be from Gary and am looking forward to hearing the announcer say that I’m ‘ Gary’s champ’ when I make my entrance to the ring on December 14th,” McGee said.  “I’m the champ, fighting in my city, so that means I’ll have to deliver a special Christmas gift to my opponent…a knock out punch.”

The evening’s co-main event features a rematch between Ruben “The Modern Day Warrior” (27-11-3, 10 KOs) Galvan seeking redemption against crosstown rival Jermaine “Too Sweet” White (15-3, 7 KOs).  Last February, Galvan, of Hammond, and White, of Gary, entertained the partisan crowd with eight rounds of heart and pride.  In the end, White won a decision and the state welterweight belt.

Gary native “Dangerous” Don Moore (13-0-1, 10 KOs) looks to keep his super featherweight record perfect and Hammond’s Jimmy Perez Jr. (2-0, 1 KO) returns to the ring after scoring a second round TKO on November 16. Both of their opponents were not announced.
