Kirino Garcia- Arturo Rivera set for Juarez

By Andy Rivera

Friday night just across the border from El Paso, Texas where Bantamweight sensation Daniel Ponce De Leon will battle Emmanuel Lucero, Promociones Del Pueblo, with promoter Oswaldo Kuchle will feature a fight card that will headline with Juarez favorite Kirino Garcia, in which Garcia will take on former stable-mate Arturo Rivera. This fight is a rematch in which the two fought to a draw in the fall off 2003. Garcia is the Mexican National Super-middleweight champion, while Rivera is the Light-heavyweight Mexican champion. The fight will be held at 168.

Also featured on the card is former NABF featherweight champion Juan Carlos Ramirez battling Juan Sarabia. Ramirez is looking to get back into world title contention. Adrian Valdez takes on former WBC featherweight champion Caesar Soto. In a crossroads bout Daivd Murillo the former WBC youth featherweight champion will face Miguel Roman, and Gerson Guerrero Isasis Zamindo.
 
The fight card starts at 8:00, which is plenty of time to drive across the border after the De Leon/Lucero fight and see what promises to be an action filled fight card.
