(OCT 12) First off---Do not miss today's press conference featuring Holm & Saccurato  that will take place at 2 p.m. today (Tuesday, October 12) in the Legends Theater at  the Route 66 Casino Hotel, in New Mexico.

Route 66 Casino Hotel in conjunction with Fresquez Productions announces Albuquerque’s own IBA World Champion Holly Holm and Challenger Ann Marie Saccurato. The two will battle for the IBA Jr. Welterweight World Title on Friday December 3rd in Legends Theater at Route 66 Casino Hotel.

The formidable pair will go face-to-face for the second time in December’s fight. Thirty-two year old Ann Marie Saccurato (15-3-2, 6 KO’s) will try to avenge a ten-round unanimous decision loss against Holm (28-1-3, 8 KO’s) in 2007. The match up will take place just one month prior to the eighth anniversary since Holly’s first professional fight on January 25, 2002.

While this is the second meeting for Holm and Saccurato, the December 3rd fight will be held for the first time at Route 66 Casino Hotel. The fight will go down inside the 2,800-seat Legends Theater sanctioned by the New Mexico Athletic Commission and all ages will be allowed into the fight.

Also on the card in the co-main event is local favorite Victoria “La Reina del la Guerra” Cisneros (5-10-2, I KO) vs. Florida’s Chevelle “Fists of Steel” Hallback (27-6-2, 11 KO’s). Hallback has enjoyed a twelve year pro career, 11-career knock-outs and plays on a professional female football team.

The undercard will include three bouts on the men’s side featuring locals Antonio Martinez, Robert Trujillo, Charles Alderete and Joshua Chavez.   Source/PR (edited)
