Three of New England’s most promising pro prospects will be in action. New Hampshire cruiserweight Rich Gingras (7-0, 4 KOs), the 2006 Ringside World heavyweight champion, takes on 21-fight veteran William “The Storm” Bailey in a six-round bout. Whitman (MA) super middleweight Mark “The Italian Bazooka” DeLuca (3-0, 2 KOs) and Worcester (MA) middleweight Edwin Rodriguez will be in fighting in four-round bouts.
DeLuca (3-0, 2 KOs), the 2004 National Silver Gloves champion, faces Charles Kirby (1-2), while the Dominican Republic-born Rodriguez makes his much-anticipated pro debut versus Samuel Ortiz Gomez. Rodriguez won 89 of 93 amateur matches, highlighted by gold-medal performances in the 2006 National Golden Gloves Championships and 2005 United States Championship.
Reigning IWBF featherweight and NABF super featherweight champion Missy “The Fury” Fiorentino (16-1, 6 KOs), of Cranston (RI), headlines “The Ultimate Showdown II” in a 10-round fight for her third world title belt in three different weight classes. She battles Ela “Bam Bam” Nunez (5-2, 1 KO), a single mother of four from Albany (NY), in the 10-round main event for the vacant IWBF super featherweight title.
Six amateur matches are also scheduled, including three Master’s Division matches: Foxboro police officer David Fascaldo vs. Mass. Department of Corrections officer Eric Flaherty;. “Easy” Ed Nelson, of Brockton, vs. former New York City police officer Steve “The Steel” Gentile; Foxboro police officer Frank Azevedo vs. Louisiana firefighter J.R. “The Lion” Moore.
Other amateurs slated to box on the card are 29-year-old heavyweight James DeLuca, as well as Jesus Caro, of Providence, and Pawtucket’s Thomas Followo and Toka Kahn. All bouts and boxers are subject to change.
A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Wounded Warrior Project assisting U.S. armed forces men and women severely injured during conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other places around the world.
