At the Quaker State sponsored, Oscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions’ “Fight Night Club” Round 4, after the blood and snot crusted dust settled after main fight of Ramos v. Favela, it was the sub-amateur fight of Hovanessian v. Cardenas that got the Club Nokia crowd riling in downtown L.A. Fresh and still raw, the two fighters went at it with the fervor of a street fight. After a severe thrashing, Cardenas stumbled multiple times giving the undefeated Hovanessian another notch to add to his undefeated belt.
Set in a nightclub-type environment complete with a bar and live DJ, Fight Night Club is novel approach at spreading the gospel of boxing to a different demo and to promote up and coming talent. Kudos to Quaker State for keeping it real, durable, and as always, oily.
