TICKETS FOR RENO XTREME FIGHTS II FEATURING BOXING CONTENDERS JESSE BRINKLEY AND CURTIS “SHOWTIME” STEVENS ON JAN. 29 AT GRAND SIERRA RESORT AND CASINO ARE ON SALE NOW

Reno, Nev. – Tickets for the super-middleweight match-up between Curtis “Showtime” Stevens and Jesse Brinkley 6:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 29 in the Grand Theatre at Grand Sierra Resort and Casino are on sale now. Tickets for the event, presented by Grand Sierra Resort, Star Boxing and Let’s Get It On Promotions, are $40, $75, $100 and $1000 for a King’s Row Booth for four people.
RXF is a boxing and mixed martial arts series of events between Grand Sierra Resort and Casino and Let’s Get it on Promotions. RXF II will be a boxing only event.
Stevens and Brinkley will fight for the number two mandatory spot in the International Boxing Federation (I.B.F) World rankings. The current I.B.F Super Middleweight Championship is held by Canadian Lucian Bute, who recently defended his title by knocking out Librado Andrade in the fourth round in front of a packed house in Quebec City, Canada.
Stevens hails from Brooklyn with a successful professional record of 21-2 including a four fight winning streak. He grew up in the Brownsville neighborhood in Brooklyn – the same neighborhood former heavyweight champions Mike Tyson and Riddick Bowe were raised. Stevens is known for his big punch and knockout power with 15 of his 21 wins coming by way of KO – with 13 of those being executed within four rounds. He will head into a hostile environment as he steps into Brinkley’s hometown.
Brinkley, from Yerington, Nev., is steadily on the rise and has been victorious in his past eight fights. Within that time, he earned the UNSBC super-middleweight championship on the NBC series, “The Contender” and became highly ranked in multiple sanctioning bodies. His recent success has made him wildly popular in northern Nevada and has also elevated his profile in the global boxing community.
The complete fight card is yet to be determined and will be announced at a later date.
Participating athletes include:
Lightweight: Jorge Luis Teron, Bronx, NY (23-1, 15 Kos) vs. TBD.
Middleweight: Brandon Gonzales, Sacramento (9-0, 8 Kos) vs. TBD
Heavyweight: Tyler Hinkey, McDermitt, Nev. (5-1-2, 4 Kos) vs. TBD
Light-heavyweights: Carlos Gaytan, Reno, Nev. (professional debut) vs. Jack Montgomery, Winnemucca, Nev. (professional boxing debut, 8-7 in MMA)
Heavyweights: Chad Forrester, Reno, Nev. (0-1) vs. Michael Goins, Las Vegas (1-3, 1 KO)
Doors will open at 6 p.m. for the fight on Friday, Jan. 29 with the first bout at 6:30 p.m. in the Grand Theatre. Tickets are $100, $75 and $40. Tickets for a King’s Row Booth for four are $1000 which includes an exciting spot to get close to the action with light appetizers and one bottle of alcohol included.

MAYWEATHER VS PACQUIAO IN JEOPARDY AS PACQUIAO REFUSES TO COMPLY WITH UNITED STATES ANTI DOPING DRUG TESTING PROCEDURES
Posted on | December 23, 2009 | No Comments
LOS ANGELES, CA (December 22, 2009). . . The mega-fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao is now in jeopardy after Golden Boy Promotions, on behalf of Mayweather Promotions, learned today that Manny Pacquiao is refusing to comply with Olympic style drug testing as outlined and mandated by the United States Anti Doping Agency (USADA) and as requested by Mayweather’s management to ensure fair play and sportsmanship by both fighters.
Early today Richard Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions, was contacted by Top Rank President Todd duBoef, who informed Schaefer that Pacquiao would not agree to have his blood taken within 30-days of the bout based on the fighter’s superstition of testing so close to a fight.
Schaefer commented, “Todd told me that Pacquiao has difficulty with taking blood and doesn’t want to do it so close to the fight. He, Pacquiao, would only agree to have blood drawn before the kick-off press conference and after the fight.”
Olympic style drug testing involves random sampling of the athlete’s blood and urine prior to and after the fight. The USADA procedure includes both blood and urine sampling so that all banned substances, some of which do not show up in urine alone, are tested for thoroughly.
“It is unfortunate to hear this from Manny Pacquiao’s representatives, particularly since, as of today, both parties had worked out all other issues related to this fight,” said Schaefer. “Team Mayweather is certainly surprised that an elite athlete like Manny Pacquiao would refuse drug testing procedures which Floyd has already agreed to and have been agreed to by many other top athletes such as Lance Armstrong, and Olympians Michael Phelps, LeBron James and Kobe Bryant.”
Mayweather, who was informed of Pacquiao’s reluctance shortly after Schaefer received word of the impasse, feels Pacquiao has to explain himself immediately or be faced with accusations from the media and the public regarding his own status as a clean and drug free athlete.
“I understand Pacquiao not liking having his blood taken, because frankly I don’t know anyone who really does,” said Mayweather. “But in a fight of this magnitude, I think it is our responsibility to subject ourselves to sportsmanship at the highest level. I have already agreed to the testing and it is a shame that he is not willing to do the same. It leaves me with great doubt as to the level of fairness I would be facing in the ring that night. I hope that this is either some miscommunication or that Manny will change his mind and step up and allow these tests, which were good enough for all these other great athletes, to be performed by USADA.”
Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions said,”We hope that Manny will do the right thing and agree to the testing as it is an egregious act to deny the testing and hence, deny the millions of fans the right to see this amazing fight. We just want to make sure there is a level playing field in a sport that is a man-to-man contest that relies on strength and ability. I still hope this decision is coming from someone in Pacquiao’s camp and not Manny himself as it would be a shame that an athlete of his stature and who represents his whole country would not be able to show the public or his fellow athletes that he agrees to the highest standards in sports competition.”
