Over 10,000 tickets have been sold for Top Rank’s “Latin Fury 4″ featuring Jorge Arce vs. Devid Lookmahanak at the Plaza Monumental de Aguascalientes — a huge bullring - for Saturday, May 17. “It’s a very hot fight,” said Bob Arum of Top Rank. “Arce is in one of his biggest fights. I’ll be right there at ringside too.” Arce faces a very strong puncher in an undefeated Devid Lookmahanak who is the Asian Boxing Council’s super flyweight champion with 12
successful defenses.
Arce is rated WBC #1, Lookmahanak WBC #2 going into this hot eliminator bout.
The weigh-in is set for 1 pm local time on Friday.
In Los Angeles yesterday, WBC lightweight champion David Diaz said he is “only thinking of winning” when he takes on mega-star
Manny Pacquiao on Top Rank’s “Lethal Combination” championship card at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino on June 28.
“Every fighter, no matter who he is, should want to fight the very best - and that’s what I’ll be doing against Pacquiao,” Diaz said. “I’m
not going to lose. I don’t even think of it. I will win and bring the green belt back to my hometown, Chicago.”
Pacquiao added “….it’s a tough fight because of his style (left-handed) and because he has a will to win. Those are things I have to
overcome in this fight. The one good thing is that Diaz likes to fight toe-to-toe, which is what I like too.”
Pacquiao vs. Diaz will be available on HBO Pay Per View.
