The main event & co-main event will be televised live on ESPN’S Friday Night Fights on ESPN 2, ESPN Deportes and ESPN 3 at 9 p.m. ET.

In the ten round main event, former world title challenger Juan Carlos Burgos, 29-1 with 19 knockouts of Tijuana, Mexico will look to make it five straight wins when he takes on Cesar Vazquez, 25-0 with 16 knockouts of Mexicali, Mexico in a ten round Super Featherweight bout for the WBO Latino Junior Lightweight Championship.

Burgos, 24 years old is ranked No. 2 by the WBO and No. 4 by the IBF and is one of the hottest fighters in the 130 pound division. Since he came up just short in his title opportunity to the distinguished Hozumi Hasegawa, Burgos has had four signature victories which include wins over previously undefeated Luis Cruz and former world champion Cristobal Cruz. In the fight with Cristobal Cruz, which took place on February 24th, Burgos claimed the WBC Silver Super Featherweight belt.

Vazquez, 26 Years old, has been perfect and is looking to impress the nationwide audience as he makes his American debut. He is coming off a 3rd round knockout over Carlos Medlin on January 21st.

Promoter Art Pelullo said “This is an important fight with a lot on the line. The winner will be on a short list to receive a title shot. Everybody knows that when two Mexican fighters square off there is also a lot of pride on the line as well so I expect this to be an explosive fight”

“Burgos is on a serious quest to get a world title shot again and Cesar Vazquez will put it all on the line to derail those dreams,” said co promoter Ken Thompson, “It will another thrilling night of boxing as two Mexican warriors try to make a name for themselves and place their careers on the limelight.”

President of JEG Boxing Daren Libonati said “I am thrilled to partner with Edgewater Casino in bringing this action packed card to Laughlin. “

Floyd Mayweather vs Miguel Cotto Generated Massive Spikes in Google

According to the revenue generated for the jr middleweight title bout between Floyd Mayweather and Miguel Cotto last month and analytics data from Google for the same event, the answer is a resounding 'No.'

Google Insights, which provides a representation of regional and international interests based on user searches for the world's largest search engine, released data that would be reassuring for any boxer, boxing promoter and hardcore fan.


For the month of May 2012, the queries 'mayweather vs cotto' and 'mayweather' represented the third and fourth highest trending sports searches in Google worldwide.


And in the United States, interest in the bout was even stronger. In the same time period, three of nation's top ten trending sports-related queries were related to last month's Floyd Mayweather - Miguel Cotto superfight. Moreover, each of three queries trended higher than search terms for any NBA player or team during the basketball playoffs in May.

The Mayweather vs Cotto fight card, which generated 1.5 million pay-per-view (PPV) buys and a whopping $94 Million USD, was seemingly an all-around success. In the end, Floyd Mayweather lifted the WBA Jr Middleweight title from a very determined Miguel Cotto in an action-packed bout.


In 2011, Mayweather took part in Google's most searched sports event for the entire year in the United States, 'mayweather vs ortiz.' And Floyd's nemesis, Manny Pacquiao, was Google's most queried athlete in the United States during the same period.

Terms Surpassing Mayweather vs Cotto Searches
May's highest trending query internationally and in the United States, 'Junior Seau,' was generated by users seeking details about the shocking apparent suicide of the former NFL football superstar on May 2nd. And internationally, the term 'roland garros' finished second.

Known to many as The French Open, the Roland Garros tennis event is the premier clay court tennis tournament in the world, one of the sport's four annual Grand Slam tournaments and one of the most watched events worldwide. Its participants included Rafael Nadal, currently the world's top male tennis player, and the always-intriguing Maria Sharapova.

The query 'hatfields and mccoys,' cited as the No. 2 sports query in the United States, is believed to be an error. The TV series Hatfields & McCoys, which aired on a US cable station last month, was a highly-promoted drama about famous feuding families of the same name in the United States from 1863-1891.
