MAIDANA PULLS OUT OF FIGHT!
News Conference Canceled!
RANCHO MIRAGE, CALIF. (May 3, 2010) – World Boxing Association interim super lightweight champion MARCOS ElPolloMAIDANA pulled out of his fight against undefeated World Boxing Organization junior welterweight champion TIMOTHY “Desert Storm BRADLEY today. The public news conference scheduled forTuesday, May 4 at Agua Caliente Casino Resort Spa in Rancho Mirage, Calif.is canceled.
Gary Shaw, who co-promotes Bradley with Thompson Boxing Promotions, received a call from Eric Gomez, Vice President/Matchmaker of Golden Boy Promotions, Maidanas co-promoter,moments ago informing him that Maidana was pulling out of the fight.
Eric told me Maidana missed his flight to the U.S. and later in the same conversation told me Maidanas back was still injured and that he would not be fighting Timmy on July 17, said Shaw.Obviously Maidanas back was not getting any better and a call to us last week fromTeam Maidana would have been the professional thing to do. But HBO and Agua Caliente are standing behind Timmy and his July 17 date, and Iexpect to announce Timmys new opponent soon.
Phil Cooper, executive director of marketing for Agua Caliente Casino Resort Spa said the development is a disappointment: Certainly this is not what we expected, however were excited about what Gary has in the works.
