Richardson Faces Rabanales at Forum

Bantamweight champion Greg Richardson defends his title for the first time tonight at the Forum against Mexico City challenger Victor Rabanales.

Richardson (29-3), from Youngstown, Ohio, won the World Boxing Council’s version of the title last Feb. 25 with an upset decision victory over Raul Perez of Tijuana.

Rabanales (27-9-2), has won 14 in a row and won the Forum’s bantamweight tournament in March.
