Richard Schaefer: Good morning, good afternoon, everyone. We have only a little more than a week to go to truly an exciting lightweight showdown featuring some of the most recognized names in the lightweight division. We have with Jesus Chavez, Carlos Hernandez, and Julio Diaz three stars of the sport fighting against opponents, who want to make names for themselves, who want to really move up in the rankings and stake a claim eventually for a world title fight. And then, of course, in the main event with Edwin Valero and Antonio Pitalua. We have a great showdown with a very, very tough Mexican fighter, Antonio Pitalua, and Edwin Valero, sort of like a cult fighter who has a tremendous following within the boxing community. And I think it's going to be a great night of boxing with these four lightweight battles. It's going to be April 4 at the Frank Erwin Center in at the University of Texas in Austin, a great campus, a great town for those people who are going to go there, to see the fights live. It's going to be the first time for me, but I hear it's a tremendous atmosphere there, a great, great - a beautiful town, Austin. The fight is going to be shown live on pay-per-view beginning at 9:00 pm ET and 6:00 pm PT. It is going to be distributed by HBO. Tickets to the event are still available. Ticket demand has been brisk. We are expecting a great and large turnout in Austin. The Texas fans loves boxing, embrace boxing, and create a great atmosphere, live atmosphere in the venue.
