Moscow Dynamo-L.A. Matadors ‘World Series of Boxing’ PPV Replaces Postponed Mexico vs. Beijing match Friday Night

Sneak preview of 2012 Olympics

Friday night’s scheduled broadcast of the World Series of Boxing (“WSB”) event featuring Mexico City vs. Beijing has been postponed due to visa problems for members of the Chinese team. A WSB “Group A” match between the Moscow Dynamo and Los Angeles Matadors and will now been shown in place of Mexico vs. Beijing.

The Moscow vs. Los Angeles, airing this Friday (Feb. 3) from Moscow, will be distributed in the United States by Integrated Sports Media for live viewing at 10:00 PM/ET – 7:00 PM/PT on satellite pay-per-view via DirecTV, DISH Network, iN DEMAND and Avail-TVN, for a suggested retail price of only $24.95. Both shows will also be available via on-line PPV on Ustream.tv at http://www.ustream.tv/integratedsportsppv. Another WSB match on Friday, Feb. 17, pitting the Mexico City Guerreros and Baku Fires, will also be available for viewing (Fri., Feb. 17) on the same PPV basis.

The WSB features amateur boxing competition, on a team basis, without boxers wearing headgear or vests. There is professional-style scoring, three judges, one referee and one supervisor. WSB matches consist of five bouts – bantamweight (120 lbs.), lightweight (135 lbs.), middleweight (160 lbs.), light heavyweight (185 lbs.) and heavyweight (200 and up lbs.) — with five, three-minute rounds. The team with the most wins from the five bouts wins the match.

The match between the Moscow Dynamo (5-2), presently in second place trailing group-leading Dolce & Gabhana Milano Thunder (6-1) by only two points, and Los Angeles Matadors (3-4) offers a sneak preview of possible 2012 Olympic boxing matches.

Russian lightweight Aleksandr Abdurashicov (5-2) and three-time Russian National medalist, light heavyweight Eduard Yakushev, lead the hometown team against a young but talented Matadors squad.
