FOX Deportes will air this potential Fight of the Year candidate in the United States along with a 10-round co-featured bout between lightweight standouts Jorge Romero and Rudy Lopez. Caracas, Venezuela's Johan "El Terrible" Perez (15-0-1, 12 KO's) has had highs and lows over the course of his career which began in 2005. In 2009 he returned from a two-year layoff and began making moves at 140 pounds. A WBA Fedebol and Fedecentro Champion, the 29-year-old power puncher made big statements in his last two fights, knocking out Kenny Galarza last October and then stopping Fernando Castaneda two months later for the WBA interim...

We got fights in the works. Quick Jabs, not so much. It was a light week for boxing news developments to comment upon in that regular column, so here's a mini-Quick Jabs before we get to what you came for: Ratings, gate for Antonio Tarver-Lateef Kayode. This thing goes to show how totally random, and sometimes seemingly unreelated, are vs. ticket sales vs. television ratings. The gate for Showtime's June 2 Carson, Calif. card featuring the Tarver-Kayode cruiserweight fight as the headliner was atrocious, which makes sense considering the biggest-name fighters on the card weren't from California but Florida, although there was surprisingly little griping from the usual suspects about that ill-advised location and embarrassingly low ticket sales. But then, for some reason -- maybe just because people had heard of Tarver and middleweight veteran Winky Wright? -- the card reportedly had a better peak rating than Victor Ortiz'...

"This is a big day for us and I'm proud to have these two boxers fighting for us now," said Oscar de la Hoya, President of Golden Boy Promotions. "Boxing will never grow if we don't keep cultivating new talent and in Johan and Julian, we've signed two fighters that you're going to be hearing a lot about in the months and years to come." A 28-year-old native of Caracas, Venezuela, Johan Perez (15-0-1, 12 KO's) turned professional in 2005 and rang up five consecutive knockout victories. Following a two-year layoff resulting from the lack of professional boxing events being promoted in Venezuela, he returned in 2009 and steam-rolled through all comers, with the only blemish on his ...
