S.A. on radar for fight card: San Antonio has surfaced as a possible site for an April 4 pay-per-view card featuring world lightweight contender Edwin Valero against Antonio Pitalua of Mexico for an interim title.
The report on ESPN.com said Richard Schaefer, CEO of Oscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions, is looking at San Antonio and Houston as possible host sites.
Schaefer is attempting to put together a lightweight tournament to build a challenger for the winner of the Feb. 28 Juan Manuel Marquez-Juan Diaz championship fight in Houston, or perhaps a challenger for WBA, WBO and IBF titleholder Nate Campbell.
Valero made news a year ago after Texas granted him a license to box after many other states would not because of a non-boxing head injury suffered years ago.
But Fort Worth fight coordinator Lester Bedford said it now appears Austin is the favorite to land the card.
One of the co-main event fights being discussed is Michael Katsidis against Austin's Jesus Chavez.
“I don't think that would be a good fit for San Antonio,” Bedford said. “I'm not sure people there know who Edwin Valero is. Austin is a better fit.”
Another fight being discussed is Jorge Barrios against San Antonio resident Carlos Hernandez.
Bedford said he expects San Antonio to land a major card by spring or summer.Comment

I thought Julio Diaz was going to fight Katsidis.
Casamayor is clearly past his best but he was not doing that bad against Marquez. The fight was something between 5-5 and 7-3 for Marquez and Casa was winning the 11th before was knocked down.
Julio Diaz is nothing special but I don't know if Casa still has enough left to beat him.Comment
