Fresquez Productions and Santa Ana Star Casino today announced the next fight for New Mexico's No. 1 box-office draw, Holly Holm (18-1-2, 5 KOs) today at the casino. On Friday, Sept. 21, Holm will defend her IFBA welter belt in a rematch with highly-rated Angelica Martinez (6-3-1, 1 KO), of Dallas, Texas. In three previous bouts with Martinez, Holm holds two close wins and a draw. In the co-main, former contender Frankie Archuleta (24-5-1, 13 KOs), of Las Vegas, NM, will end a two-year layoff, attempting a comeback in an eight-rounder at 130 against Mexican veteran Sammy Ventura (25-18, 20 KOs). In an eight-round special, Albuquerque's David "Finito" Martinez (17-3-1, 3 KOs) bounces off his loss to former champ Bones Adams in a featherweight match against Carlos Diaz (9-10-4, 7 KOs), of Puerto Rico. On the undercard: Albuquerque super featherweight Willie Villanueva (6-0, 1 KO) in a sixer, former IFBA champ Jackie Chavez (9-3, 3 KOs), of Los Lunas, in a sixer; Albuquerque super bantam James "Got the Fire" Piar (1-0, 1 KO) in a four-rounder; and, in a super-welter four-rounder, Rio Rancho's Lucas Galle (0-1) vs. Cornelius Shuler (1-0), of El Paso.
