SAN JOSE, Calif. – On a thrilling night of action in which Herschel Walker and Roger Gracie remained undefeated and STRIKEFORCE Middleweight Champion Ronaldo “Jacare’’ Souza outlasted Robbie Lawler to retain his 185-pound title, Nick Diaz closed the show in sensational fashion, turning back a determined bid by Evangelista Cyborg to win by second-round submission to successfully defend his STRIKEFORCE Welterweight Championship before a pro-Diaz crowd of 9,048 at HP Pavilion live on SHOWTIME® .

The victory was the ninth in a row for Diaz (24-7, 1 NC), of Stockton, Calif. and the second defense of the 170-pound world title. Cyborg, of San Diego, Calif., by way of Brazil, dropped to 18-14.

Complete results on the televised portion of STRIKEFORCE: Diaz vs. Cyborg presented by Rockstar Energy Drink, Souza (14-2, 1 NC), of Rio de Janiero, Brazil, kept his 185-pound crown with a hard-fought third-round submission (rear-naked choke) over former two-time world champion Robbie Lawler (18-7, 1 NC) of Gilbert, Ariz., the remarkable Walker, a former college football and NFL standout who fights out San Jose, Calif., improved to 2-0 in Mixed Martial Arts with a 3:13, first-round TKO (punches) over Scott Carson (4-2) of Costa Mesa, Calif., and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu standout Gracie (4-0), of Rio de Janiero, submitted Trevor Prangley (23-7-1) of San Jose with a rear-naked choke at 4:10 of the first.

The main event was a slugfest, the southpaw Diaz landing solid punches with both hands while the gallant challenger did significant damage with an array of leg kicks and counter punches.

But shortly after Cyborg, the husband of STRIKEFORCE Women’s Middleweight (145 pounds) Champion Cris Cyborg, scored an ill-advised takedown late in the second, Diaz finished him with an armbar at 4:50.

Austin “No Doubt” Trout Training in the Mountains of New Mexico

Ruidoso, New Mexico – Undefeated light middleweight sensation, Austin “No Doubt” Trout (21-0, 13 KO’s), gears up for the biggest fight of his life when he travels to Mexico to challenge Rigoberto Alvarez (26-2, 19 KO’s) on February 5, 2011, for the vacant WBA World light middleweight title.  The fight was originally scheduled to place at the Sergio Leon Chávez Soccer Stadium in Irapuato, Guanajuato Mexico, but has been moved to Guadalajara according to Trout.

“I just got word that the fight has been moved to Guadalajara, Mexico.” said Trout. “This is my first world title shot and I’m going to leave everything in the ring come fight night.  My training camp has shifted to the high altitude mountains of Ruidoso, New Mexico, where the elevation approaches 7,000 feet.  Abraham “Abie” Han, Joaquin Zamora and Arturo Crespin are some of the guys that I’ve brought into camp, as well as some others.  My timing is on and I’m happy with the way this camp has been going.  I just want to get in the ring with Alvarez and show the world that I belong with the elite fighters in my division.”

Louie Burke, trainer for Austin Trout stated, “We are getting great sparring from the guys we’ve brought in.  Everyone is giving Austin great work.  His weight is good.  Training in this high elevation is going to prepare us for Mexico.  Austin has been preparing for this moment his whole life and I’m confident he’ll be ready to go when we step in the ring.”

Los Angeles, CA  – Twenty-Six knockouts in his 27 wins would qualify calling Joey Abell (27-4, 26 KOs) a “Knockout Artist.”  This Friday night, the “Knockout Artist” looks to make a big heavyweight statement when he takes on his toughest and most notable opponent of his career in world-rated contender Cristobal “The Nightmare” Arreola at the Pechanga Resort & Casino in Temecula, CA.  The scheduled 10-round co-main event will be televised on ESPN2 “Friday Night Fights.”

We go “Inside the Mind” of the hard-hitting southpaw known as “Minnesota Ice” with “Six Questions” concerning this showdown:

QUESTION #1:  Best training camp?

ABELL: “Definitely! It went really well.  With many of my other fights, I really didn’t get enough time in between to have a real heavyweight training camp. This camp no excuses.  I had much longer to prepare this time and got in lots of sparring and really worked on my endurance and got everything I needed to win.”

CONGRATULATIONS TO GOLDEN BOY PROMOTIONS BOXING WRITERS ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA 2010 AWARDS WINNERS

CONGRATULATIONS TO GOLDEN BOY PROMOTIONS  BOXING WRITERS ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA 2010 AWARDS WINNERS

Amir Khan, Marcos Maidana, Robert Guerrero & Bill Caplan All To Receive Prestigious BWAA Awards

LOS ANGELES, January 25 – Golden Boy Promotions (GBP) is pleased to congratulate Amir Khan and Marcos Maidana, Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero and Bill Caplan on their being named 2010 Boxing Writers Association of America award recipients for the Ali-Frazier Fight of the Year Award, the Bill Crawford Award for “Courage in Overcoming Adversity” and the Marvin Kohn “Good Guy” Award respectively.

The December 11, 2010 battle between WBA Super Lightweight World Champion Amir “King” Khan and then WBA Super Lightweight Interim World Champion Marcos “Chino” Maidana had fans on the edges of their seats for 12 stirring rounds.  The fight saw Maidana battle through a first round knockdown and a dominant early-rounds performance by Khan when the Argentine closed the gap in the late rounds.  Khan displayed some fortitude of his own in surviving a vicious tenth round onslaught by Maidana in which the British star looked to be on the brink of being knocked out.  Khan survived and came out swinging in the eleventh and twelfth round sealing the unanimous decision victory in an instant classic.

The moving story of former Two-Division World Champion Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero, who returned to the ring in April after taking time off to care for his wife Casey as she battled and overcame cancer, was inspiring to all and earned him the Bill Crawford Award for “Courage in Overcoming Adversity.”
