This Fri., Majestic Star Hosts One In A Million Weigh Ins- Fans Welcome

In the main event, NABC light welterweight champion and the Steel City’s only female boxing champion, “Merciless” Mary McGee (13-0, 7 KOs) faces her most experienced opponent to date in Renee Richardt- Douglas (11-5-1, 4 KOs) of Fenton, Missouri.

Majestic Star’s beautifully appointed entertainment pavilion provides the perfect, intimate setting for Vegas style boxing action making every fan feel like they’re sitting VIP ringside in Sin City. Limited tickets, priced at $100 VIP, $50 ringside and $30 general admission, remain available from any Ticket Master outlet. The casino is located at One Buffington Harbor in Gary, Indiana, less than 30 minutes from the Chicago Loop.

In the evening’s co-main event, One In A Million’s resident heavyweight prospect Mike Parker returns to action when he faces 21-year-old Rayvon Wilson of Wisconsin.

Hobart native Ed Ochoa (3-0 3 KOs) looks to keep his winning record perfect when he faces Patrick Walker of Cincinnatti in a four-round welterweight bout.

Light heavyweight Jimmy Perez Jr. (2-1, 1 KO) of Hammond returns to the scene of the crime in a confidence builder. Just four months ago, Perez suffered a shocking loss blamed on simple inexperience. Perhaps Perez learned the phrase “Protect yourself at all times” the hard way. Perez faces Harold Gaddy who is making his pro debut.

One In A Million’s exciting new welterweight prospect, Marcus Thompkins (1-0) of Michigan City, returns after winning his professional debut in November by unanimous, wide margin. Thompkins, who had an amateur record of about 44-6, showed real skill and potential in his debut and looks to build on that experience with another win against Channel Buckanan who is making his pro debut.

Rounding out the card, Oswaldo Lopez of Michiocan, Mexico will make his professional debut at super featherweight against Bobby Conners, also making his pro debut.

Doors to this event open at 7 p.m. First bout at 8 p.m.

Using “steel crunching hooks” and “pile driving jabs,” McGee says that when she faces her opponent in the main event of the “Majestic Rumble” on Saturday, April 19th, she will “Knock Her Block Off!”

McGee, the NABC light welterweight champion and the Steel City’s only female boxing champion, faces her most experienced opponent to date in Renee Richardt- Douglas (11-5-1, 4 KOs) of Fenton, Missouri. Presented by Octavius James’ One In A Million Inc., the ladies are featured in the main event of this five-bout card at the Majestic Star Hotel and Casino in Gary, Indiana.

Majestic Star’s beautifully appointed entertainment pavilion provides the perfect, intimate setting for Vegas style boxing action making every fan feel like they’re sitting VIP ringside in Sin City. Less than 300 tickets went on sale to the public and limited tickets, priced at $100 VIP, $50 ringside and $30 general admission, remain available from any Ticket Master location at (312/559-1212), (219/791-1234) or www.TicketMaster.com.

If the ladies don’t knock each other’s block off, One In A Million’s resident heavyweight Michael Parker is certainly capable of taking his opponent out with one, big crowd pleasing punch. In the evening’s co-main event, Parker faces 21-year-old Rayvon Wilson of Wisconsin.

Since turning professional just six months ago, Hobart native Ed Ochoa (3-0 3 KOs) has stepped in to the squared circle three times and won each bout by definitive, crowd pleasing knock out. As his KO streak multiplies, so does his fan base. On April 19, Ochoa looks to give his fans what they want by delivering another exciting win over four rounds or less in a welterweight bout against an opponent to be named.

Light heavyweight Jimmy Perez Jr. (2-1, 1 KO) returns to the scene of the crime in a confidence builder. Just four months ago, Perez suffered a shocking loss blamed on simple inexperience. Perhaps Perez learned the phrase “Protect yourself at all times” the hard way. A Hammond native, Jimmy faces Harold Gaddy who is making his pro debut.

One In A Million’s exciting new welterweight prospect, Marcus Thompson (1-0) of Michigan City, returns after winning his professional debut in November on One In A Million’s “Showdown” card. Thompson, who had an amateur record of about 44-6, showed real skill and potential in his debut and looks to build on that experience with another win against Channel Buckanan in Buckanan’s pro debut.

Rounding out the card, Oswaldo Lopez of Michiocan, Mexico will make his professional debut at super featherweight against Bobby Conners, also making his pro debut.

Since turning professional just six months ago, Hobart native Ed Ochoa (3-0 3 KOs) has stepped into the squared circle three times and won each bout by knock out. On April 19, Ochoa looks to keep his perfect record in order by winning a four round welterweight bout. Ochoa has proven tremendously popular with area fans and, with each bout, his fan base continues to grow.

Light heavyweight Jimmy Perez Jr. (2-1, 1 KO), one of the region’s most popular fighters, returns to the scene of the crime to rebound from the shocking loss he suffered in December at Majestic Star. Perez, a Hammond native, will face an opponent tba.

Heavyweight Mike Parker (5-0, 4 KOs) is anxious to return to the ring after having been sidelined with an injury. Of his five professional bouts, Parker has won four by knock out. Fight fans love the big punching heavyweights and on April 19, Parker plans to put on a show in a four round bout against an opponent tba.

One In A Million’s exciting new welterweight prospect, Marcus Thompson (1-0), returns after winning his professional debut in November on One In A Million’s “Showdown” card. Thompson, who had an amateur record of about 44-6, showed real skill and potential in his debut and looks to build on that experience with another win against an opponent tba.

Chicago’s #1 Prospect Michael Walker (18-0) Steps in on 24 Hours Notice To
Face Antwun Echols in Tomorrow Tonight’s Main Event on ESPN2’s “Friday Night Fights”

“Michael and I both understand that even with incredibly short notice, this is an important opportunity to make a statement,” said Walker’s promoter, Octavius James, CEO Of One In A Million Inc. “Stepping up to face a fighter like Echols with no notice shows some serious heart and confidence on Walker’s part.”

“For the past year, none of the rising middleweights have wanted to take a chance fighting me,” Walker said. “Beating a puncher like Echols, a ‘name’ fighter who’s been in with the best, is the opportunity that I’ve been waiting for.”

Highly touted prospect Allan Green was scheduled to headline the card against lightly regarded Samuel Miller (18-2, 1 KOs) of Columbia. Somewhere around the date of February 20, Miller pulled out and was replaced by Echols. Perhaps daunted by the fact that he would now be facing a much more formidable opponent, Green didn’t get on his flight yesterday and seems to be AWOL.

“I’m glad Green bailed and I don’t care why,” Walker said. “I’m going to take care of business. Everything happens for a reason. This is going to be my coming out party.”

Echols, a native of Davenport, Iowa, twice fought Bernard Hopkins for the IBF middleweight title and is the former NABF, USBA and NABA champion. His extensive resume includes some memorable bouts against the divisions toughest opponents including living legend Hopkins, wins over Charles Brewer and Richard “The Alien” Grant and a highly controversial 12-round loss to Australian superstar Anthony Mundine in Australia.

One can assume that Echols is on top form since he was, until recently, in the North Carolina training camp of red-hot prospect “Irish” John Duddy who was preparing for his February 23rd bout at The Garden. If Echols wants to stay in the mix, this fight is a “must win.”

Walker, younger, fresher and hungrier than Echols, will draw on the experience and knowledge gained last year while training in the camps of two of the sport’s top pound-for-pound champions, WBA welterweight champ Miguel Cotto and WBC and WBO middleweight champ Kelly Pavlik.

“For the last year, Walker has been in that ‘prospect limbo’ place where he’s tough to match,” James said. “Being undefeated and hungry, he brings a real risk to the table. He is, correctly perhaps, perceived as more risk than reward. In the mean time, while we’ve been waiting for the break-through opportunity, we’ve sent him to the Cotto and Pavlik camps and have kept him in the ring with ‘stay busy’ bouts.”

On August 4th, Walker scored a second-round, highlight reel knock out over former Olympian Dante Craig on the undercard of an HBO PPV card broadcast from suburban Chicago. He earned rave reviews from on-hand industry experts including:

“…a promising middleweight…” Roman Modrowski, Sun Times
“…Walker remained unbeaten in impressive fashion…” Michael Hirsley, Chicago Tribune
“…never shining brighter and rapidly becoming a fighter to watch in an already red-hot middleweight division.” Jake Donovan, BoxingScene.com and FoxSports.com

Walker discovered boxing as a 19-year-old and made up for his late start with a dedicated and enthusiastic daily training program at the park district’s Fuller Park. With new found goals and aspirations, Walker committed himself to the sport and went on to earn an impressive amateur record of 90-12 including two prestigious Chicago Golden Gloves titles.

Since turning pro in April of 2004, Walker has become a Chicagoland fight fan favorite. A slick boxer known to be drawn into crowd-pleasing brawls, Walker has never been in a boring fight. A number of Walker’s most sensational wins were broadcast by international Spanish language network Telefutura on their regular Friday night program, “Solo Boxeo.”

Tired of being the bridesmaid, Walker and his promoter Octavius James, have recently been calling out Ronald Hearns (18-0, 14). Son of the legendary Tommy “Hitman” Hearns, both fighters are undefeated at 18-0. Both are 29-years-old. Both began boxing at a late age.

"I respect Tommy Hearns, of course,” Walker said. "But his son calls himself 'The Chosen One.' More like 'Chosen Not to Fight Anyone.' "

Hearns fought on PPV this month and is expected to fight on another PPV event shortly. James rightfully believes that a fight between these two undefeated prospects is just the right bout to open a pay-per-view event.

Walker and James are wondering when, and if, Hearns' people will stop protecting him.

“At the moment, Michael is fully focused on Echols,” James said. “But after this win, we’ll be calling for Hearns again.”

Already the training site of the region's best professional boxers, One In A Million’s USA Boxing certified coaches include Jack Callahan, Henry Sims and Marty Jakubowski. Whether you're looking for a fitness class specifically designed for women, just looking to get in shape or want to train for a Golden Gloves type competition, our knowledgeable, personable and patient instructors are on hand to safely guide you.

Most importantly, the One In A Million facility is now available to area youth who may be at-risk and/or overweight.

"First and foremost, a gym should be a safe haven for kids," said James. "Any young person with too much time on their hands can find themselves at-risk and getting in trouble. Our theory is simple. 'Stay in the gym. Stay off the street.' It's an idea that works."

"Secondly, childhood obesity is a real and growing problem in this country," James continued. "According to the American Heart Association, 92% of elementary schools don't have daily gym class. And, when typical American kids aren't in school, they spend more than 40 hours a week playing on the computer, playing video games and watching TV."

"Kids won't change their bad habits by themselves, so we want this to be a family program. Parents, who have probably been talking about getting in shape anyway, can set an example for their kids by making it a family activity one hour per night, three times per week.”

One In A Million Boxing is open from 10 am until 8 pm Monday through Friday and 10 am until 2 pm on Saturday. More information about instruction and memberships is posted at OneInAMillionBoxing.com Training Facility Page.

“We’re looking forward to another great year with Octavius James’ One In A Million and Miller,” said Rodney Langel, owner of Langel’s Pizza. “Boxing and Miller is the perfect one-two combination.”

In Friday night’s main event, One In A Million’s franchise player, Michael “The Midnight Stalker Walker” (17-0-1, 11 KOs) looks to keep his unbeaten streak alive by making quick work of Jerome Elder of Indy. Highly touted by boxing insiders, Walker is a top middleweight prospect in a division deep in talent.

When asked who he wants next, Walker responded, “Ronald Hearns. He says he’s the ‘Chosen One.’ Let’s see him choose to step in the ring with me. We’ll see if he’s made of the same stuff that his daddy (Thomas Hearns) was. I doubt it.”

At 5’1”, featherweight Evette Colazzo may be the smallest fighter on the card, but she may be the biggest in action. A two-time Chicago Golden Gloves Champ, “KO Queen” Colazzo (2-0, 2 KOs) faces a very brave Kim Colbert on Friday.

“Evette might steal the show,” said Octavius James, CEO of One In A Million. “Her size is deceiving. When this little Latina enters the ring and starts throwing great, big bombs, the crowd goes wild.”

Fight fans love the hard punching heavyweights and on Friday night, the big boys return to action at the Radisson when One In A Million’s undefeated heavyweight Michael Parker (5-0, 4 KOs) steps into the ring with Leo Sylvest (5-3, 3 KOs) of Indy. With Parker winning 4 of his 5 bouts by KO and Sylvest winning 3 of his 5 bouts by KO, this one should be exciting…while it lasts.

One In A Million stablemates, featured in separate bouts, include super middleweight Jimmy “The Fighting School Teacher” Holmes (16-1-2, 9) of DeMotte, super middleweight Derrick “Superman” Findley (9-2, 5) of Gary and welterweight Ed Ochoa (2-0, 2) of Hobart.

Because of her exciting style, Colazzo, a two-time Chicago Golden Gloves Champion, has a growing fan-base in the region. “She’s fearless,” said promoter Octavius James. “She’s a petite young lady who isn’t a big talker, until she gets in the ring and then her fists start talking.”

In a classic “Boxer vs. Brawler” fight-fans match-up, Gary’s undefeated “Dangerous” Don Moore faces Francisco “Panchito” Zepeda in the evening’s main event. “Panchito has never been in a boring fight,” said James. “Ever since Don saw Zepeda fight that warrior style in Indy, he’s been asking to face him. Don wants to test his boxing skills against a brawler with a huge heart. Win or lose, Panchito will bring it all night long.”

One In A Million’s “franchise player,” undefeated Michael Walker (17-0-1, 11) of Chicago’s southside, returns to the ring for a middleweight bout against an opponent to be named. Walker has his sites set on Ronald Hearns Jr. (17-0, 13 KOs), son of the legend, for a showdown of undefeated prospects.

“I respect his father,” Walker said of Hearns Jr. “But me vs. Junior is the perfect match-up. We’re both undefeated at 17-0. I want to be the one to hand Junior his first loss.”

Also in action, light heavyweight Jimmy Perez Jr. (2-1, 1) of Hammond fights an immediate re-match with Matt Short (4-9, 3). Super middleweight Jimmy “The Fighting School Teacher” Holmes (16-1-2, 9) of DeMotte, super middleweight Derrick “Superman” Findley (9-2, 5) of Gary and welterweight Ed Ochoa (2-0, 2) of Hobart, all take on opponents to be announced.

One In A Million Inc. Presents Moore vs. Zepeda - Classic Boxer vs. Brawler Fight
Plus, Local Favorite Perez Fight Rematch for Redemption

January 7 (Merrillville, IN) - On Friday, February 1, Octavius James’ One In A Million Inc. kicks-off 2008 with a sensational five-bout card from the Radisson at Star Plaza Theatre in Merrillville, Indiana. In the main event, Gary’s undefeated Lightweight “Dangerous” Don Moore (14-0-1, 10) faces warrior Francisco “Panchito” Zepeda (16-6, 9) of Indianapolis /Cocula, JA, Mexico in an outstanding “Boxer vs. Brawler” match up.

“We’re very excited to feature this bout in the main event,” said Octavius James.” “This is a fight fans fight. Moore is a slick, stylistic boxer and Zepeda is a blood-and-guts Mexican brawler who just won’t go away.”

In the co-main event, One In A Million’s “franchise player,” undefeated Michael Walker (17-0-1, 11) of Chicago’s southside, returns to the ring for a middleweight bout against an opponent to be named.

“Walker gave nothing but great performances last year and the boxing experts took note,” said James. “We’re negotiating for him to have a championship opportunity as soon as possible. Now may be the local fans last chance to see Walker fight in an intimate venue like the Radisson.”

On December 14, light heavyweight Matt Short (4-9, 3) of Garrett Indiana scored a shocking first round knocked out of local favorite Jimmy Perez Jr. (2-1, 1). Perez, a Hammond native who was highly touted in the region, seemingly simply got caught with a perfect shot. They will re-match on February 1.

“I guess I can say that Jimmy’s unexpected knock out loss shows that we’re putting on competitive fights,” said James. “I still have a lot of faith in Jimmy. He learned something with that loss and I respect him for demanding an immediate rematch instead of asking for a tune-up first.”

Rounding out the card, super middleweight Jimmy “The Fighting School Teacher” Holmes of DeMotte, super middleweight Derrick “Superman” Findley (9-2, 5) of Gary and welterweight Ed Ochoa (2-0, 2) of Hobart, all take on opponents to be announced.

Tickets, priced at $100 VIP, $75 VIP ringside, $50 ringside and $30 general admission, are available from Star Plaza Theatre box office at (219-791-1234) or from any Ticket Master location at (312-559-1212) or www.TicketMaster.com.

In the main event, Gary native and NABC light welterweight champion "Merciless" Mary McGee (13-0, 7 KOs) won a run-away unanimous six-round decision (60-54 three times) in her rematch with Leora Jackson. From the opening bell, McGee was clearly a more skilled boxer, stronger puncher and smarter fighter, but Jackson proved to have a chin of granite, taking power shot after power shot during every round and refusing to go away.

After the bout, McGee said, "She's (Jackson) a tough girl. Tonight I beat her more convincingly than I did in 2006. Now I'm moving on and will be looking to win another title next year."

In the evening's co-main event, Gary's Jermaine "Too Sweet" White (16-3, 8 KOs) beat Hammond's Ruben Galvan (27-12-3, 10) by seventh round TKO in another brutal battle. Fighting like the Mexican warrior that he is, or, perhaps was, Galvan absorbed power shot after power shot from White who looked to be in the best form of his career.

"I've been training in Las Vegas for the past four months," White said. "Vegas has given me the opportunity to train and spar with top ten fighters. I'm more skilled, even faster and stronger than ever."

"Dangerous" Don Moore (14-0-1, 10), also of Gary, faced a tougher than advertised opponent in Reggie Sanders. Moore won a hard-fought unanimous decision and likely learned something in facing the crafty southpaw over eight rounds.

In an upset, light heavyweight Jimmy Perez Jr. (2-1, 1) of Hammond was knocked out in the first round by unheralded Matt Short.

In the event's opener, Gary's Frantoine "Tiger" Greenwood (1-0) won his professional debut by unanimous decision over game Tyrone Dowdy. Throughout the bout, Greenwood seemed unfazed by the cut he suffered over his right eye in round one.

The results are as follows:
Mary McGee 140                   Leora Jackson 144 3/4
Jermaine White 144 1/4       Ruben Galvan 145 1/2
Done Moore 134                   Reggie Sanders 133
Tiger Greenwood 171           Tyrone Dowdy 165
Jimmy Perez Jr. 175 1/2        Matt Short (weigh-in Friday)

Limited tickets remain and are priced at $100 VIP, $$50 ringside and $30 general admission. Fans are encouraged to arrive early to purchase any remaining tickets at the door.

Doors open at 7 p.m. First bout at 8 p.m.

The Majestic Star Casino is located at One Buffington Harbor in Gary, IN.

Photos Below: Earlier this week, Mary McGee had the pleasure of helping Santa Claus pass out gifts to children from the northwest Indiana Boys and Girls Clubs. Majestic Star Casino sponsored the event.

A limited number of tickets, priced at $100 VIP, $50 ringside and $30 general admission, remain on sale to the public for Friday night’s Bash. Fans are encouraged to purchase tickets, while they last, from the casino’s gift shop or any Ticket Master outlet.

In Friday night’s main event, Gary’s own “Merciless” Mary McGee (12-0, 7 KOs) fights a rematch with Leora Jackson who Mary beat by majority decision in May of ‘ 06. Having been disappointed with that outcome ever since, this time, McGee intends to score nothing less than a spectacular knock out to correct what Mary considers to be the only blemish on her record.

In October, McGee won the NABC junior welterweight title by stopping veteran Tawnyah Freeman. McGee is the first and only women’s boxing champ from Gary, a city rich in boxing history.

“Mary is looking forward to showing off her new hardware,” said Octavius James, CEO of One In A Million Inc. “If you’ve never seen a championship belt up-close, and they’re pretty cool to see, you’ll have the opportunity to see Mary’s championship belt this Thursday at the Majestic Star weigh-ins.”

Also on tap, Jermaine White (15-3, 7 KOs) of Gary and Ruben Galvan (27-11-3, 10 KOs) of Hammond, deliver eight more stanzas of Jingle Hell when they face off in their highly anticipated re-match. Ten months ago, both fighters threw “friendly rivalry” and “mutual respect” out of the window for eight rounds of non-stop action.

In the end, White walked away with the IN.B.A. welterweight title and bragging rights as the best welterweight in the One In A Million stable of fighters. This Friday, Galvan looks for redemption against his cross-town rival.

Rounding out the card, Gary’s undefeated “Dangerous” Don Moore (13-0-1, 10 KOs), Hammond’s light heavyweight Jimmy Perez Jr. (2-0, 1 KO) and, making his professional debut, super middleweight Frantoine “Tiger” Greenwood, also of Gary.

During December, One In A Million Inc. hosted an essay contest for local charities who have provided exceptional service to their community. “We’ll be announcing the winner of the $2000 prize during Friday nights event,” said James.
