Promoter Gary Shaw has confirmed to BoxingScene.com that everything is ready to go for Showtime's doubleheader on March 6 at the Agua Caliente Casino in Rancho Mirage, California. In the televised opener, Vic Darchinyan will defend his WBA/WBC super flyweight titles against Raul Martinez. Both Darchinyan and Shaw are hoping that a rematch with Nonito Donaire will be the next move. Martinez has one loss on his record, which came at the hands of Donaire by way of a fourth round knockout.
The main event of the evening is a second round bout in the Super Six Tournament. The tournament leader Arthur Abraham will face Andre Dirrell. In the first stage of the tournament, Abraham knocked out Jermain Taylor to pick up three points, and Andre Dirrell dropped a close twelve round decision to Carl Froch.
