GSFS was informed that New Brunswick super bantamweight Jorge "Kid" Diaz will take on Denver, CO's Tommy Atencio in a six rounder Saturday night at Madison Square Garden's WaMu Theater.
Diaz, 11-0 (7 KO's), is fighting at the Garden for the fourth time in his last five bouts, and for the first time in 2010. The all-action Diaz scored a jaw dropping knockout over 2004 Olympic Gold Medalist Yan Barthelemy in his last fight at The Mecca of Boxing on October 10.
Atencio sports a 4-3 record with two knockouts. Atencio's defeats came against unbeaten prospects Adrien Broner, Jerry Belmontes and Luis Del Valle.
"This is just another fight to me" said Diaz, who is quickly becoming a crowd favorite at The Garden. "When the bell rings, I'll let the leather fly like always".
Diaz meets Atencio on the off-TV portion of the Juan Manuel Lopez-Steven Lueveno headlined HBO card.
