LOS ANGELES, September 19 – Owner of the most deceptive record in boxing today, Guanajuato’s Robinson Castellanos will defend his WBC Silver Featherweight Championship against the United States’ Derrick Wilson in the 12-round main event of this Saturday’s Televisa/FOX Deportes event at the Oasis Arena in Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico.

In the co-main event, scheduled for 10-rounds in the lightweight division, longtime contender and 2004 United States Olympian Vicente Escobedo squares off against Ciudad Obregon’s Fernando Carcamo.

Doors open at 6:00 p.m. CT and the first fight begins at 6:30 p.m. CT.

A quick glance at the 18-9 (11 KO’s) record of Guanajuato featherweight Robinson Castellanos, and you may wonder how the 31-year-old has made it to the elite level of the 126-pound weight class. But consider that after an 8-9 start to his career from 2002 to 2010, a string that included four split decision defeats, Castellanos turned everything around, winning 10 straight bouts. Among his victories are eight wins in WBC Silver title fights and an April 2013 victory over former world champion Celestino Caballero.

Another fighter whose skills show more than his won-loss record is Fort Myers, Florida’s Derrick Wilson (10-4-2, 3 KO’s), a 24-year-old young man who has been battling it out with fellow prospects for much of his nearly six year pro career. In June, Wilson snapped a two fight losing streak with the biggest win yet, as he handed rising star Braulio Santos his first pro loss. Now it’s Wilson’s turn to get a big fight in Mexico against Castellanos and he’s ready to make the most of this opportunity.

Returning to fight in Mexico for the first time since his third round technical knockout of Carlos Urias in March of 2010, Woodland, California’s Vicente Escobedo (26-5, 15 KO’s) is looking forward to making a return to the win column after tough defeats against Adrien Broner and Edner Cherry. Still young in the sport at 31, the former U.S. Olympian is hungry for victory and he has the skill and determination to get the job done.

In search of a career-defining win that will extend his current three fight winning streak and put his name on the world boxing map, 22-year-old Fernando Carcamo (13-5, 10 KO’s) already made plenty of noise with his second round stoppage of then-unbeaten Fidel Maldonado Jr. in April of 2012. Now he wants to add another notable name to his record in the form of longtime contender Escobedo.

After a day of turmoil and threats of the fight not happening, Adrien Broner scored a fifth round stoppage over Vicente Escobedo in the fifth round of a scheduled twelve round bout in Cincinnati.

The bout was in jeopardy after Broner failed to make the 130-pound weight limit and subsequently giving up his WBO title and then missing the 140-pound next morning weigh in by missing both weights by 3 1/2 lbs.

Escobedo only agreed to the fight just a few hours before the fight after receiving around double his original $150,000 purse.

In the fight itself, Broner was dominant as he focused on the body of Escobedo that slowed down the challenger. Escobedo was tough as he tried to fight back only to be outgunned by the highly skilled native of Cincinnati.

After the fourth round, Escobedo came back to the corner with blood coming from his mouth and nose. Broner smelled blood and came out with full force in round five and began to pound the body of Escobedo and that in turn forced Escobedo back to the ropes and he tried to hold on but Broner was relentless until Escobedo’s corner held up the towel and fight was stopped at 2:37 of round five.

Broner, 133 1/2 lbs of Cincinnati is now 24-0 with twenty knockouts. Escobedo, 130 lbs of Woodland Hills, CA is now 26-4.

Keith Thurman remained perfect by stopping Orlando Lora in round six of a scheduled ten round Welterweight bout.

Thurman dominated the bout and barely last a second of the fight as he rained power shots throughout the contest. In round four, Thurman staggered Lora from a left and he continued to pound Lora. In round six, Thurman landed a huge right that sent Lora to the seat of his pants. Lora got to his feet and just walked to his corner and had enough and the bout was stopped at 1:37 of round six.

Thurman, 147 lbs of Clearwater, FL is now 18-0 with seventeen knockouts. Lora, 147 1/2 lbs of Culican, MX is now 28-3-2.

According to Dan Rafael of espn.com., former WBO Jr. Lightweight champion Adrien Broner missed weight for a second consecutive day but his fight with Vicente Escobedo will go on after the two sides reached a financial agreement.

“The fight is happening, and we’re on,” Golden Boy spokesperson Monica Sears said. “I don’t have any other information.”

Escobedo’s team demanded a Saturday morning weigh-in, and manager Rolando Arellano insisted that Broner come to the 9:30 a.m. ET weight check no more than 10 pounds above the contract weight, meaning 140 pounds.

However, Broner weighed 143.2 pounds, with his camp insisting he was within the 10-pound limit of the 133.5 pounds he weighed in at Friday.

WBO Jr. Lightweight champion Adrien Broner had to give up title after missing weight by more than three pounds for his Saturday night clash with Vicente Escobedo.

Escobedo can win the vacant title assuming the fight at the U.S. Bank Arena in Broner’s hometown of Cincinnati goes ahead as scheduled.

Rolando Arellano, Escobedo’s manager, said he was negotiating the terms of a Saturday weight check to make sure Broner does not balloon in weight overnight, which woud give himself a significant size advantage against Escobedo.

“We’re going to try set up a second weigh-in for Saturday,” Arellano told ESPN.com. “We want him limited to 10 pounds over the contract weight, so he could have a maximum of 140 pounds. But if he comes in over that, then we want to start imposing fines. We want $10,000 a pound, but so far (the Broner camp) has not agreed. The ball’s in their court. We’re not considering pulling out, but Broner didn’t live up to his agreement, so we are giving him the flexibility to modify the initial agreement.

“If he is unable to satisfy those terms and conditions we are asking for, that’s on him. We came to his house, to his arena, to his show. We did everything we were supposed to do.”

“I think he should have acted more professionally,” Arellano said. “That’s not cool. That’s a lack of professionalism. We know he made an effort to make the weight because we knew he was in the gym working (Friday) morning. We just wanted him to try it again, but by running off he didn’t respect the game, he didn’t respect us or the people who work hard to put the event together.”

“I’m young. I’m 22. I’m still growing. I just feel like it’s time for me to go up,” Broner said on Wednesday. “After this fight, there really wouldn’t be a reason for me to stay. I’m just going to go up and give the lightweights hell.”

Vicente Escobedo tuned for a potential world title opportunity with a ten round unanimous decision over Juan Ruiz in a Jr. Lightweight bout in Woodland, California.

Escobedo was very aggressive and was in control from the outset.

Escobedo, 129 lbs of Woodland, CA won by scores of 100-90, 99-91 and 99-91 and will now look for a Summer world title bout with WBO champion Adrien Broner with a record of 26-3. Ruiz, 129 lbs of Santa Clarita, CA is now 23-10.

Oscar Godoy scored a stoppage over Jamie Del Cid did not come out for the third round of their scheduled four round Middleweight bout.

Godoy, 152 lbs of Watsonville, CA is now 5-2 with three knockouts. Del Cid, 156 lbs of Sonoro, MX is now 5-7

Ulises Soriano and Gabriel Pineda fought to a four round majority draw in an entertaining Lightweight bout.

The two traded heavy shots during the fight with Soriano, 136 lbs winning a card at 39-37 while the two other cards read 38-38.

Soriano is now 2-0-1. Pineda, 136 lbs is now 1-0-1.

Fighting before his local fan base, Vicente Escobedo scored three first round knockdowns of Lonnie Smith en route to the impressive stoppage victory at the Woodland Community & Senior Center in Woodland, California on Saturday night. With the knockout, the WBO #10 ranked lightweight and IBF #10 ranked 130-pounder netted the WBO NABO Super Featherweight title. Escobedo (25-3, 15 KOs) of Woodland spoke to 15rounds.com moments after the big win.

Vicente Escobedo slammed the door on the career of Rocky Juarez as a top level fighter by scoring a ten round unanimous decision in a Jr. Lightweight bout of former U.S. Olympians at The Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio, CA.

Escobedo scored a knockdown in round three from a jab. Juarez best moment came in round six when he rocked Escobedo with a hard left hook that had Escobedo stumbling back to his corner.

Escobedo used his height and reach to be more active and land some solid combinations to outwork Escobedo by scores of 98-91; 97-92 and 96-93.

Escobedo, 130 lbs of Woodland, CA is now 24-3. Juarez, 130 1/4 lbs of Houston, TX is now 28-9-1.

Adam Carrera scored an exciting six round unanimous decision over veteran Adolfo Landeros in a Jr. Lightweight bout.

Carrera dropped Landeros in round two from a blistering right hook. Landeros came back later in the round to land a big left hook of his own that buckled the knees Carrera. The two waged a back and forth war for much of the remaining fight that saw Carrera take the advantage and land hard shots and won by scores of 58-53; 58-53 and 57-54.

Carrera, 129 1/2 lbs of Ciudad, MX is now 20-4. Landeros, 129 1/4 lbs of Ciudad, MX is now 20-22-2.

IBF #6 ranked lightweight contender Vicente Escobedo is in Las Vegas, Nevada this weekend, taking in the anticipated Erik Morales-Marcos Maidana HBO Pay-Per-View event at the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino tonight.
