Amy Hayes stepped in to the ring to annouce the
fights on January 21st at the
The Emerald Queen Casino.
In boxing, there is a
Red
corner and a
Blue
corner, but on Saturday fight fans saw there is
only one Amy Hayes.
Hayes continues to enjoy
success as a preeminent ring announcer. She hopes
to return to the Northwest to work future boxing
events.

RUSLAN
PROVODNIKOV VS DAVID TORRES
HEADLINES FIGHT
CARD ON JANUARY 27
AT
NORTHERN QUEST
CASINO
IN AIRWAY
HEIGHTS, WASH.
TELEVISED LIVE ON
ESPN
Art Pelullo/Banner Promotions will present a
sensational fight card on Friday, January 27, in
the Pend O'reille Pavillion at Northern Quest
Casino, located at North 100 Hayford Road in Airway
Heights, Washington. The main event and co-featured
bouts will be televised live ESPN's "Friday Night
Fights."
In the 10-round main event, junior welterweight
contender Ruslan Provodnikov, 19-1 with 13
knockouts, of Berezovo, Russia, will fight David
Torres, 21-2-2 with 13 knockouts, of Othello,
Washington for the WBO Intercontinental Junior
Welterweight title.
Art Pelullo said, "There's a good reason that
Ruslan has become a regular on ESPN - he always
gives it everything he's got in the ring, and
always makes exciting fights. We're very pleased
that he's headlining our first fight card of 2012
and will start off the New Year with a bang!"
Provodnikov, who will be 28 years old on
January 20, has an aggressive style and grinds down
his opponents with constant pressure. Currently
ranked No. 10 by the WBO, he has won two fights in
a row since his only loss, and is coming off an
eighth-round knockout win against previously
undefeated Ivan "Rey" Popoca in his last fight on
April 15.
Torres, 33 years old, is an eight-year
professional veteran. He gave strong efforts in his
last two fights, but was held to 10-round draws
both times - against local favorite Mike Stewart in
Dover, Delaware, in his last fight on February 25,
and against Santos Pakau in Tacoma, Washington, in
November, 2010.
All bouts are subject to change without
notice.
Doors open at 5:00 P.M.
First fight is live on ESPN at 6:00 P.M. (All
times Pacific Time)
