Part of Golden Boy Live!, LA FIGHT CLUB made a spectacular premiere on March 6 before a sold-out crowd at The Belasco Theater. The April 2 installment is headlined by East Los Angeles native and boxing legacy Julian “El Camarón” Ramirez (13-0, 8 KOs) facing off against Casas Grandes, Mexico’s Raul “Bule” Hidalgo (23-12, 17 KOs) in a 10-round featherweight bout.

Opponents will be announced.

A 2012 Olympic Bronze medalist and one of the most promising boxers to come from the country of Brazil, Yamaguchi Falcao is now on his quest for professional gold in the middleweight division. Since his professional debut in January 2014, Falcao has put together three consecutive victories over Fernando Najera, Martin Fidel Rios, and Jesus Cruz. In his first fight of 2015, Falcao stopped undefeated newcomer “Sugar” Raymond Terry of Philadelphia in the first round of their scheduled six-round middleweight fight on March 12.

Fighting out of the Westside Boxing Club in Los Angeles, 18-year-old featherweight Nick Arce is a former amateur standout who entered the professional boxing world in style in November of 2014 with a fourth round knockout of Adalbert Valenzuela. Since then the Los Angeles favorite has fought Lyonell Kelly on Feb. 27 winning by second round knockout.
