Title Hopefuls Romero and Mosley Featured at Olympic

Flyweight Danny Romero and lightweight Shane Mosley, two undefeated young fighters jockeying for world title shots, top the card in separate bouts tonight at the Grand Olympic Auditorium, six months after its reopening last March.

The 20-year-old Romero (18-0, 16 knockouts), who says he is hoping to land a fight against one of the three major flyweight champions, defends his North American Boxing Federation title against Hugo Torres (12-2-1, six knockouts.)

This will be the Olympic’s 10th card since its reopening, and even the Top Rank, Inc., executives closest to the operation acknowledge that attendance has been less than booming.

“I believe if we keep fighting here, we’ll draw the people,” Romero said. “Especially with my punching power.”

Mosley (14-0, 13 knockouts) is scheduled to fight Luis Ramirez (14-3-2, six knockouts).

Mosley, who recently turned 23, hopes to get a fight sometime in 1995 against World Boxing Council lightweight champion Miguel Angel Gonzalez.

Mosley also has a spot on a card in Las Vegas featuring Roy Jones vs. James Toney on Nov. 18.

Fights begin at 5:30 p.m.
