In the main event, undefeated knockout artist Edwin Valero (24-0, 24 KOs) returns to the ring to face hard-hitting Antonio Pitalua (46-3, 40 KOs) in a 12-round championship bout for the vacant WBC interim crown. The co-featured bouts will be former two-time world champion and Olympic gold medalist Joel Casamayor (36-4-1, 22 KOs) against former world champion Julio Diaz (36-4, 26 KOs); former lightweight champion Jesus Chavez (44-4, 30 KOs) against former WBO interim titleist Michael Katsidis (24-2, 20 KOs) and former jr lightweight champs Jorge Barrios (47-4-1, 34 KOs) against and Carlos Hernandez (43-7-1, 24 KOs). Tickets $25-$200 go on sale on Friday (2/27).

    Great card. Not to nitpick but it would have been more awesome if Valero fought Casamayor or Katsidis.

    That card is begging to be watched. I would be shocked if any self respecting fan of the sport did not buy that.
