If you have not noticed by now I am a big boxing fan and Amir Khan is my favorite boxer. So when I heard he is going to make his comeback fight at the LA Sports Arena I made sure I bought tickets. The fight is being promoted by Golden Boy Promotions, which always throws great events leading up to the fight. Oscar De La Hoya makes most of the events open to the public and also makes the fights free to watch on television. Oscar is always doing great things for the community. Fellow Boxing champion Ponce De Leon just opened a new boxing gym in the city of Montebello. Golden Boy held an event today to not only promote the gym, but also to showcase the fighters for this Saturday's Amir Khan vs. Carlos Molina. Another surprise Golden Boy provided was a special toy drive. Anybody who donated a toy would receive 2 free tickets to the fight. I made the trip to Montebello to check out Amir Khan and the other fighters. It was a great event. All the fighters were great to the fans. Champion Abner Mares made a special appearance, I found out later he is good friends with Carlos Molina. Boxing reporter Elie Seckbach was also in attendance. He is one of the most hardest working reporters in the game. I want to give a special thank you to Oscar, Golden Boy and Ponce De Leon for this great event.
