MAIN EVENT - 12 ROUNDS, MIDDLEWEIGHTS - WEST COAST TITLE
CLEVELAND CORDER, 27-1, 14 KOs, Boise, Idaho, vs
JESSE BRINKLEY, 19-1, 13 KOs, Yerington, Nevada

Corder is one of Idaho's top talents in the ring and biggest draws at the gate. Now 30 years old, he has won nine fights in a row dating back to August, 2000. A former national amateur champion, he said, "My biggest accomplishment as an amateur was beating Jermain Taylor in the National Golden Gloves finals in '97 and being picked the outstanding boxer of the tournament." He also had an amateur win against Rhoshii Wells.

26-year old Brinkley, a native of Yerington, Nev., who trains in Las Vegas, is a rising young prospect. He has a 15-fight winning streak dating back to November, 1998. He said, "I don't have one style, every time I get in the ring it's different. That night I might be a brawler, that night I might be boxer, I might be a jabber. I adjust to my opponents, or I'll dictate what's going to happen. Everybody knows what I have to do. I have to go in there, bite down and get after this guy."
