“February Frenzy” features old-time boxing Feb. 6 at Twin River Event Center, RI

PROVIDENCE– Old-time boxing returns Friday might, February 6 as Jimmy Burchfield’s Classic Entertainment and Sports, Inc. (CES) presents “February Frenzy,” featuring many of New England’s most promising prospects, at Twin River Event Center in Lincoln, Rhode Island.

The 8-round main event pits Providence light heavyweight Joey “KO Kid” Spina, rated No. 14 by the WBO, against veteran Steve “The Spoiler” Walker. Spina (23-1-1, 16 KOs) is the former USNBC and IBF Intercontinental champion, while Missouri invader Walker (22-19, 16 KOs) once held the MWBA title.

In the 8-round co-feature, Providence favorite Bobo “The Bull” Starnino (9-4-2, 2 KOs) meets “Irish” Joey McCreedy (9-2-1, 5 KOs), of Lowell (MA), in a rematch of a draw they fought to last year, for the vacant Eastern Boxing Association (EBA) super middleweight title.

In a 6-round bout for the vacant EBA New England lightweight crown, unbeaten Pawtucket fighter Eddie “The Puerto Rican Sensation” Soto (10-0, 4 KOs) meets another Lowell native, Sean Eklund (6-2, 1 KO), who will have his uncle and head trainer, “Irish” Micky Ward, in his corner.

“We have 10 big fights on February 6th,” promoter Jimmy Burchfield (CES president) said. “It’s headlined by one of the most exciting fighters around, Joey ‘KO Kid’ Spina. Our co-feature is like it’s from the old days of boxing, when nobody walked away from anybody. Joey McCreedy is an Irish fighter from Lowell. He’s fighting a rematch against Bobo Starnino, an Italian fighter from Providence. They fought to an exciting draw in a non-stop bout last year. They’re going to let it all hang out in the ring.

“CES is a grassroots promotional company. The entertainment dollar will be spent very wisely in 2009 because of today’s economy. CES shows are entertaining from the opening bell, through intermission, right to the final second of the last fight. We’re offer the whole package and fans are leaving as the ask when the next CES show is going to be.”

Undefeated cruiserweight Adam “The Hitman” Harris (10-0, 7 KOs), of Worcester (MA), makes his CES debut in a 6-round battle against Philadelphia boxer David Williams (5-2-1, 2 KOs).

Also on the undercard in 4-round bouts are U. of Connecticut graduate Brian Macy (5-0, 2 KOs) vs. Brockton (MA) super middleweight Steve Detar (8-9-1, 1 KO), former Mass. State champion; U.S. Coast Guard seaman Phillip “Killa” Miller (4-0, 2 KOs), fighting out of Providence, vs. Sam “Showtime” Brown (4-4-2, 1 KO); Providence junior welterweight Jesus Caro (3-0, 3 KOs) vs. Olade “One Shot” Thomas (1-3, 0 KOs); Warwick (RI) super middleweight Keith Kozlin (2-0, 1 KO) vs. TBA; Worcester heavyweight Rashad Minor (1-0, 1 KO) in his CES debut vs. TBA; Providence cruiserweight Jay Holland making his pro debut vs. TBA.

PRESS CONFERENCE QUOTES

Joey McCreedy: “We’re going to have a great fight February 6th. I’m in great shape, almost at weight. I’m ready to go to war. I respect Bobo. Once we step through the ropes, respect goes out the window. I guarantee that this will be the fight of 2009.”

Sean Eklund: “People know that Jimmy Burchfield promotes great fights from top to bottom. I could have fought more stiffs but all that would do is blow up my record. This is a great opportunity for me. Eddie must be doing something right, he’s 10-0. I’m coming into this fight in great shape. Micky’s working me like I’ve never been worked before. I want to thank CES for signing me.”

Rashad Minor: “Five months ago I didn’t think I’d be up here. I couldn’t have better people behind me – a great fan base, friends, family, my manager, coaches. I’ve been through trials and tribulations and I’m going to bring the heavyweight championship here to Worcester. I’m going 100-percent in the gym. No more problems out of me; all good and glory. I couldn’t ask for more love from Worcester and now I’m going to start giving it back.”

Adam Harris: “I haven’t fought since November of 2007 at the Blue Horizon (in Philadelphia). My ex-promoter sold me a lot of dreams and then he lost interest. Everything went downhill from there. I was training on The Cape (Cape Cod) with Kippy Diggs, who was good friends with Mr. Burchfield. We sat down and I’ve joined Team CES. I’ve comeback (from Philadelphia) to Worcester, where I started and never should have left. I’m here to make a statement February 6th. My brother (Bobby) is in my corner as my second for the first time. I’m going to fulfill the steps he once walked and bring the cruiserweight title to Worcester.”

See you at the Fights.
Thanks for your time.
