Promoted by Gary Shaw Productions, LLC, the 10-round main event, lightweight contender Antonio DeMarco (19-1-1, 14 KOs), of Los Mochis, Mexico, will attempt to score his third victory in one year when he takes on World Boxing Organization Latin American (WBO/LA) Lightweight Champion Jose Reyes (23-4, eight KOs), of Aguas Buenas, Puerto Rico.
The 10-round bantamweight co-feature will pit North American Boxing Federation (NABF) Bantamweight Champion/World Boxing Council (WBC) No. 6 contender Yonnhy Perez (17-0, 12 KOs), of Santa Fe Springs, Calif., against former Mexican 115-pound champion Tomas Rojas (27-10, 18 KOs), of Veracruz, Mexico.
All boxing events take place in the Star of the Desert arena inside Buffalo Bill's Resort & Casino.
Tickets for "The New Generation" are available online at www.primmvalleyresorts.com or by calling 702.382.1212. Ticket prices range from $10 to $35 and doors open at 5:30 p.m. As part of the complimentary ticket offer from PRIMM Valley Casino Resorts, 500 free tickets will be available for the event. The fight will be available on SHOWTIME at 11 p.m PDT.
In his last outing, DeMarco recorded his eighth consecutive victory by scoring three knockdowns en route to a fifth-round TKO over previously undefeated Juan Castaneda May 2, 2008. DeMarco floored Castaneda for the first time and sent his opponent to his knees near the neutral corner with a brutal knockdown in the second round.
A winner of five straight bouts, the five-foot-seven-inch Reyes captured the WBO/LA lightweight title with a 12-round unanimous decision over Humberto Tapia on March 23, 2007 and has made three successful defenses.
Perez, a four-time Colombian national champion, is big for a bantamweight. His size, strength and punching power proved too much for Alexander Federov on Oct. 5, 2007. Despite suffering a cut over his left eye in the third round, Reyes won all three rounds on the scorecards before the referee stopped the bout 44 seconds into the fourth.
A 13-year professional, Rojas captured the Mexican 115-pound title with a 12-round unanimous decision over Javier Torres on April 8, 2001, in Veracruz. In addition to three successful title defenses, Rojas also won the International Boxing Association (IBA) flyweight crown by securing a third-round TKO over Alejandro Montiel on May 17, 2002.
