The event is promoted by Gary Shaw Productions, LLC and will take place during the celebration of the bicentennial of Mexico’s Independence.
What the fighters and their respective promoters had to say at Wednesday’s final press conference.
EDWIN VALERO
“I’m looking forward to Saturday night with great anticipation. It’s going to be a great fight. I am very focused and have put in my work by training extremely hard as I do in all of my fights.”“I have sacrificed a lot by being out of my country and away from my family for so long. Because I have made the
sacrifice to be away from them I have nothing more to do than to dedicate myself to my training 100 percent. I give myself completely to my training because I want to make sure that my sacrifice was worth the while.”
“I am positive that I am in a key moment of my career. I want to be a solid champion and continue to rise. I know it won’t be easy and I have to be cautious because the opponents are tough.”
“There was one time that I was overly confident and felt that a fight against my opponent would be easy. I found out only when I was in the ring just how difficult he was. But, that won’t happen again in my career because I learned my lesson not to take anyone lightly.”
“I know that Antonio DeMarco is a fighter to be reckoned with and I’m prepared. I’m going to give it my all.”
ANTONIO DEMARCO
“I want to thank God, Gary Shaw, my team and family for their support. Specifically I would like to thank my trainer Romulo, who to me, I value more than gold.”
“I give a sincere thank you to the people of Monterrey, Mexico and to Mauricio Sulaiman. I want to assure them that I am going to work hard on Saturday. Everything will be OK in the end. I know what I need to be prepared for because I am facing a great champion.
“I feel privileged to be able to take on the best champion. I want to give Valero, his team and his promoter all the thanks in the world for accepting this challenge.”
“I put 100 percent of myself into my training.”
“All of my fights are different in their own right but one thing remains consistent with me, I like to hit and I don’t mind taking the punches. It’s part of the sport. It’s boxing.”
“My height should give me some advantage in winning the fight, but the true story about what happens in Saturday’s fight will be told in the ring.”
“I don’t like to think beyond Saturday. I am only focused on my fight against the great champion Edwin Valero.”
RICHARD GUTIERREZ
“Thank god to be here with everyone in Monterrey. I am very thankful for the hard workers of Monterrey especially the ones that did so much hard work here at the steel mill.”
“I thank SHOWTIME and Gary Shaw for the opportunity; I will put on a good show!”
LUIS CARLOS ABREGU
“It is really great to be here in Monterrey. I am in great condition for the fight; this fight will definitely help to carry me towards my goal of a world championship fight”.
SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING announcers Gus Johnson and Al Bernstein will call the action with Steve Farhood reporting from ringside. The executive producer of SHOWTIME Sports is David Dinkins Jr. with Ray Smaltz producing and Bob Dunphy directing.

Edwin Valero VS Antonio DeMarco
In an eagerly awaited showdown this Saturday, Feb. 6, on SHOWTIME®, Valero of the Dominican Republic will put his amazing record of 26-0 with 26 knockouts and his world title belt on the line against Tijuana's DeMarco (23-1-1, 17 KOs), who has won 12 and a row and is unbeaten in his last 16 (15-0-1), in the main event on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING (9 p.m. ET/PT, delayed on the West Coast). The last time a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING broadcast aired from Mexico was March 7, 1998, when Julio Cesar Chavez boxed a draw with Miguel Angel Gonzalez. It’s the first card on SHOWTIME from Monterrey in more than 15 years, or since Chavez stopped Tony Lopez on Dec. 10, 1994. In Saturday's co-feature at Arena Monterrey, unbeaten, world-ranked Luis Carlos Abregu (28-0, 23 KOs) meets Richard Gutierrez (24-3, 14 KOs) in a 10-round welterweight bout.

MAYWEATHER’S SIGNATURE SEALS THE DEAL
Feb 4th
FIGHT WITH MOSLEY FINALIZED AS BOXING SUPERSTARS AGREE
TO MEET IN ELECTRIFYING WELTERWEIGHT MEGA-FIGHT
ON SATURDAY, MAY 1 AT MGM GRAND IN LAS VEGAS
LIVE ON HBO PAY-PER-VIEW
FIGHTERS AGREE TO PARTICIPATE IN OLYMPIC-STYLE DRUG TESTING
LAS VEGAS (February 3, 2010) – It’s official. Boxing’s biggest superstar and six-time world champion Floyd “Money” Mayweather made his upcoming fight with welterweight mega-star and five-time world champion Sugar Shane Mosley, official today when he signed the contract that pits the two fighters against each other on Saturday, May 1 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas in a mega-bout which will be televised live on HBO Pay-Per-View®.
“This one is definitely for the fans as I wasn’t going to waste anyone’s time with a meaningless tune-up bout and asked to fight Shane immediately,” said Mayweather. “I have said ever since I came back to the sport that I only wanted to fight the best. I think Shane is one of the best, but come May 1, he still won’t be great enough to beat me.”
“I have always wanted to fight Floyd and now it is finally coming true,” said Mosley, who signed his side of the deal last Friday in Las Vegas. “I am already in great shape and ready to show everyone on May 1 that I am stronger, faster and better than he is. I will have no problem beating him.”
In addition to the fight being one of the most competitive and talked about contests in each of the fighters’ careers, Mayweather and Mosley have agreed to Olympic-style drug testing for the fight.
“Floyd has been trying to make this fight for the last 10 years, so he is extremely excited about the opportunity to face Shane,” said Leonard Ellerbe, CEO, Mayweather Promotions. “He can’t wait to extend his undefeated record and perform at the highest level. More importantly, he is also happy to set the precedent for random blood testing in order to ensure fair and safe contests for all fighters.”
“When two champions of this caliber meet in the ring, you can expect nothing but excellence and that is what we are going to see on May 1,” said Richard Schaefer, CEO, Golden Boy Promotions. “Shane Mosley is one of the greatest fighters of this era and I commend him for not only agreeing to the fight against Mayweather, but also agreeing to participate in a testing process that can only help the integrity of the sport.”
“Mayweather-Mosley is a showdown of superstars that fans have been talking about for years”, said Mark Taffet of HBO Pay-Per-View. “It has all the elements of a pay-per-view mega-fight.”
A 1996 Olympic Bronze medalist for the United States, Floyd Mayweather (40-0, 25 KO’s) has since gone on to strike Gold in the professional ranks, winning six world titles in five weight classes to firmly establish himself as one of the most elite fighters of his era. With dominating wins over the likes of world champions Diego Corrales, Jose Luis Castillo, Arturo Gatti, Zab Judah, Oscar de la Hoya and Ricky Hatton, Mayweather was on a meteoric rise to hall of fame greatness when he announced his retirement from the ring in 2008. But he left the door open for a return if the right challenge presented itself and after 18 months of a much needed physical and emotional break from the ring, he returned to boxing on September 19, 2009 with a dominating and spectacular victory over future Hall of Famer Juan Manuel Marquez.
A future Hall of Famer with five world titles to his name, Shane Mosley (46-5, 39 KO’s) has ruled the lightweight, welterweight and junior middleweight divisions over his storied 16-year career and at 38 years old, the Pomona, Calif. native seems to be getting better and better as the years pass. Winner of seven of his last eight fights dating back to 2005, Mosley has defeated the likes of Fernando Vargas (twice), Luis Collazo and Ricardo Mayorga, but his most recent victory also was one of his most spectacular — a ninth round stoppage of Antonio Margarito in January 2009 to win the welterweight world title for the third time.
The 12-round welterweight battle is a highly competitive match-up that already has sports fans across the world buzzing to see two of the sport’s biggest names meet in the squared circle in the premier boxing match-up of 2010.
More information on Mayweather vs. Mosley, including ticket prices, HBO Pay- Per- View information and press tour dates and cities, will be announced shortly.
ONCE-BEATEN FREDDY HERNANDEZ TO FACE FORMER CHAMP DEMARCUS CORLEY THIS FRIDAY, FEB. 5, ON SHOBOX
Feb 4th
Live at 11 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME® At Chumash Casino Resort, Santa Ynez, Calif.
NEW YORK (Feb. 3, 2010) – One night before two-time world champion Edwin Valero (26-0, 26 KOs) defends his World Boxing Council (WBC) lightweight crown against WBC 135-pound interim titleholder Antonio DeMarco (23-1-1, 17 KOs) in Monterrey, Mexico, on SHOWTIME® (9 p.m. ET/PT), once-beaten Freddy “El Riel’’ Hernandez (27-1, 18 KOs), of Lynwood, Calif., will take on former world champion, southpaw DeMarcus “Chop Chop’’ Corley (36-12-1, 21 KOs), of Washington, D.C., in the 10-round welterweight main event on ShoBox: The New Generation on SHOWTIME® (11 p.m. ET/PT, delayed on the West Coast).
In the co-feature this Friday, Feb. 5, at Chumash Casino Resort in Santa Ynez, Calif., hard-hitting, undefeated Dominican Francisco Contreras (12-0, 11 KOs), of Livingston, N.J., should get what definitely will be the toughest test of his career when he faces Juan Castaneda, Jr. (16-2, 12 KOs), of La Paz, Mexico, in an eight-round junior welterweight bout.
The doubleheader is promoted by Gary Shaw Productions, LLC.
A winner of four in a row, Hernandez, who was born in Mexico City, is 10-0 with one No Contest dating to February 2005. The No. 14-ranked contender in the World Boxing Council (WBC) is coming off a clear-cut eight-round unanimous decision over Octavio Narvaez on Dec. 12, 2009, in Rancho Mirage, Calif.
Two outings ago, Hernandez survived a 10th-round rally to register a convincing 10-round unanimous decision over then-once-beaten southpaw Damian Frias on Oct. 23, 2009 on ShoBox.
“I’ve fought three times since last July and I like that,’’ said the 5-foot-10-inch, 30-year-old Hernandez, who fought only one time in 2008 (in April). “I need to keep fighting on a regular basis and I thank my promoter, Gary Shaw, for getting me more fights now and for him and SHOWTIME believing in me. For the longest time, I had a lot of difficulty getting fights.
“I am slowly moving up the ladder and making a name for myself. Corley has a lot of experience and class and, on paper, could be my toughest fight. But I am familiar with left-handers and am confident of putting on a good show for the fans. I am in top shape and ready to go.’’
The 5-foot-7, 35-year-old Corley is a former World Boxing Organization (WBO) 140-pound champion who won the then-vacant belt with a first-round TKO over Felix Flores June 30, 2001, on SHOWTIME. Corley made two successful defenses against Ener Julio and Randall Bailey in January 2002 and January 2003, respectively. Both defenses came on unanimous decisions on SHOWTIME.
Corley lost the belt in July 2003 on a 12-round split decision to Zab Judah on SHOWTIME.
“I took this fight (against Hernandez) on short notice but I’m always in the gym training, so there will be no excuses,’’ said Corley, who has fought several past and current world champions, including Floyd Mayweather, Miguel Cotto, Devon Alexander, Junior Witter and Jose Alfaro. “People will see I have a lot left. This is a good matchup for me and I am going to make the best of the opportunity.’’
Corley, who seldom gets the benefit of the doubt in close affairs – one third of his defeats have come on split decisions – had a three-fight winning streak end in his last start when he lost a 10-round split nod to Fariz Kazimov on Nov. 28, 2009, in Russia. One judge scored it for Corley, 97-93, but the two others had it for the local favorite by an identical tally.
Contreras, who has been virtually untested since turning pro in February 2007, is stepping way up in class against the aggressive-minded Castaneda.
But, style-wise, the 5-foot-10-inch, 25-year-old Contreras relishes the matchup. “It’s easier for me to beat a brawler, somebody who comes to you, than somebody who boxes,” he said.
Contreras recently moved to New Jersey to focus fulltime on his career, yet still has a child and family in his native Dominican Republic. “I’m going to dedicate this fight to my mother and my son,” said Contreras, who took a unanimous six-round decision over Marteze Logan in his last start on Dec. 19, 2009, in Knoxville, Tenn.
Castaneda has fought his last six fights in Mexico. In the 5-foot-7, 26-year-old’s last outing in the United States he lost to Demarco on May 2, 2008, at Chumash, on ShoBox.
“I expect to (set the pace) and take the fight to him,” said Castaneda, who is coming off a unanimous 10-round decision over Alejandro Valladares on Dec. 19, 2009. “I’ll make him fight my fight. I’m going to be on him, throwing a lot of punches. I’m hoping for the best, and that I will get the win.”
Nick Charles will call the action from ringside with Steve Farhood and Antonio Tarver serving as expert analysts. The executive producer of ShoBox is Gordon Hall with Richard Gaughan producing and Rick Phillips directing.

ANTONIO DEMARCO WANTS THE WHOLE WORLD IN HIS HANDS
Feb 4th
Six Questions with Streaking WBC Interim Champion,
Who Challenges WBC Lightweight Titlist Edwin Valero
This Saturday, Feb. 6, Live on SHOWTIME® at 9 p.m. ET/PT
NEW YORK (Feb. 3, 2010) — A winner of 12 in a row and unbeaten in his last 16 (15-0-1) dating to May 2006, World Boxing Council (WB) interim champion Antonio DeMarco (23-1-1, 17 KOs) of Tijuana, Mexico, will challenge devastating Venezuelan and WBC lightweight belt-holder, Edwin Valero (26-0, 26 KOs), in the main event this Saturday, Feb. 6, on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING live on SHOWTIME® (9 p.m. ET/PT, delayed on the West Coast).
The event at Arena Monterrey will mark the first time a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING broadcast has aired from Mexico since March 7, 1998, when Julio Cesar Chavez boxed a draw with Miguel Angel Gonzalez. It’s the first card on SHOWTIME from Monterrey in more than 15 years, or since Chavez stopped Tony Lopez on Dec. 10, 1994.
SHOWTIME caught up with DeMarco for his thoughts on this Saturday’s 12-round bout.
SHOWTIME: Have you ever met Edwin Valero?
DeMarco: “I’ve never had the privilege of meeting Valero personally, but I have respect for him as a person and as a boxer. Respect aside, once I get in the ring, I will do my job and that is to challenge him like he has never been challenged before and, of course, to exit the ring as champion.”
SHOWTIME: Do you feel comfortable knowing that you will be fighting a southpaw?
DeMarco: “He’s a fighter, period. I’m aware he is a southpaw but that doesn’t faze me. I’ve been in the ring with four other southpaws and did really well against them. I feel that when I fight against a southpaw I react especially well since I‘m a southpaw, too. I know what to expect. That’s not to say that I only expect him to come in fighting southpaw. I know he may change his style so I will make my own adjustments.”
SHOWTIME: Do you think Valero is a tough fighter?
DeMarco: “I know Valero is a tough fighter and that he has taken on quality opponents. I give him much respect. There is a reason why he is the champion and he deserves all the accolades he has received. That said, Valero is no different than the opponents that I have faced. They were tough too and so we will see how this fight turns out and who wins. I’m certain it will be me.”
SHOWTIME: Would you say that Valero mirrors any of your past opponents?
DeMarco: “Every fighter is different and each has his own talent and technique. Like I said, there is a reason that he is a champion. He has that talent so I give him the respect he‘s earned. All fighters are talented in their own right so I can’t compare him to anyone I have fought in the past.”
SHOWTIME: Do you feel like the challenger is this fight?
DeMarco: “I do feel like the challenger is this fight and I am OK with feeling that way. The way I see it, he is the absolute champion of the world, and I am stepping into the ring challenging him for that so when I walk out I will be world champion.”
SHOWTIME: Are you approaching this fight with the steadfast mentality that you did your last fight?
DeMarco: “Absolutely. No question about it. I have the same mentality as I did my last. I am walking into the ring knowing that there is no other option than to win. No one is going to keep me from my destiny.”
SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING announcers Gus Johnson and Al Bernstein will call the action with Steve Farhood reporting from ringside. The executive producer of SHOWTIME Sports is David Dinkins Jr. with Ray Smaltz producing and Bob Dunphy directing.
