Indiana to host Feb. 1st show

Press Release: On Friday, February 1, 2007, Octavius James’ One In A Million Inc. kicks off 2008 with a five-bout card from the Radisson at Star Plaza Theatre in Merrillville, Indiana. In the main event, lightweight “Dangerous” Don Moore (14-0-1) faces warrior Francisco “Panchito” Zepeda (16-6). “We’re very excited to feature this bout in the main event,” said Octavius James. “This is a fight fans fight.  Moore is a slick, stylistic boxer and Zepeda is a blood-and-guts Mexican brawler who just won’t go away.” In the co-feature, Michael Walker (17-0-1) of Chicago’s south side, returns to the ring for a middleweight bout against an opponent to be named. On December 14, light heavyweight Matt Short (4-9) scored a first-round knockout of local favorite Jimmy Perez Jr. (2-1, 1).  Perez, who was highly touted in the region, seemingly got caught with a perfect shot.  They will re-match on February 1st. Rounding out the card, super middleweight Jimmy “The Fighting School Teacher” Holmes (16-1-2), super middleweight Derrick “Superman” Findley (9-2) and welterweight Ed Ochoa (2-0) all take on opponents to be announced. Tickets are available from Star Plaza Theatre box office at (219-769-6600) or from TicketMaster.com.
