Busy two weeks of boxing. Finally home. I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day..
Can't tell you how proud I am of the Espinoza Boxing Fighters. Friday, May 3 at the Cosmopolitan Hotel, Joet Gonzalez had a great unanimous decision and Antonio Orozco had a dominate performance with a 7th rd KO.
Saturday, May 4, Abner and Ponce had a great fight. I believe was the fight of the night. I congratulate both fighters. With that fight, Abner became three times World Champ. With big things to come. Also Thank you to OG ABEL for his support outfitting Abner, Oscar and Antonio making them look classy in the ring.

Vic Darchinyan scores 4th-round KO

Man in the Middle

It’s not unusual for two fighters from the same promotional entity to compete in the ring. In fact, with the state of the business nowadays, it’s the easiest way to make a fight. Most of the major firms, whether they be Golden Boy Promotions, Top Rank, Don King Productions or Main Events, have all made a multitude of in-house match-ups pitting their clients against each other. It’s happening this weekend when WBC featherweight titlist Daniel Ponce de Leon defends his belt versus Abner Mares this Saturday night as the featured support bout on the “May Day: Floyd Mayweather vs. Robert Guerrero” pay-per-view card. Both fight under the Golden Boy banner.

What makes this match-up unusual is they are also both managed by one Frank Espinoza.
