"Salita Promotion and Fight Factory Gym Start a New Brooklyn Based Boxing Series"

Salita Promotion and Fight Factory Gym are teaming up to start a new Brooklyn based boxing series dubbed "Brooklyn Brawl." Shows will be held at The Fight Factory, all the matches will be between top and upcoming boxers. Featured fighters will include Golden Gloves Champions, National Champions, and local talent all participating in fights that promise to be exciting.

The goal of this series is to help fighters build a fan base at the grass roots level, and for fans, community leaders, and sponsors to have an opportunity to connect with the stars of today and champions of tomorrow.

Like the beautiful borough of Brooklyn, boxing is a multi cultured sport that attracts boxers from different backgrounds. The diversity of the fighters is a reflection of their origin, background and lifestyle.

In addition all shows will have live performances by a popular artist and include ringside celebrities, radio/TV personalities and politicians to create an exciting one of a kind fight night experience.

The next show is scheduled to take place at the Fight Factory Gym, 24 Cobek Ct., Brooklyn, NY 11223, on Thursday, Aug 23rd. The show will feature twelve exciting matches along with a special performance by Brooklyn’s own Hip Hop artist Rice Maniac fresh off his new video; "The Misfits" which was filmed in Brooklyn. Rice Maniac will entertain the crowd with some of his hit songs.

Rodriguez & Hinkey ready to shine on “Diamonds in the Rough” pro boxing card

PAWTUCKET, Rhode Island – Pro boxing returns to Boston on May 17 when promoter Peter Manfredo, Sr., in association with Let’s Get It On Promotions, presents “Diamonds in the Rough” at Freeport (I.B.E.W.) Hall in Dorchester, Massachusetts.

Worcester (MA) middleweight prospect Edwin Rodriguez (4-0, 3 KOs) and super middleweight Derek Hinkey (4-1, 4 KOs) are in separate 6-round co-main events. The Dominican Republic-born Rodriguez, winner of the 2006 National Golden Gloves Championships and 2005 United States Championships, is a potential rising star. Hinkey, fighting out of McDermitt, Nevada, is a Native American fighter with a rich amateur career.

“We’re doing this to promote some young talent,” Manfredo said. “Rodriguez and Hinkey were top amateurs and they have good shots of going places in pro boxing. They’re a little rough around the edges – that’s why we named the show ‘Diamonds in the Rough” – and they’re learning as pros to get to the next level.”

Also scheduled to fight on the May 17 card are Whitman (MA) super middleweight Mark “The Italian Bazooka” DeLuca (3-0, 2 KOs), 2004 National Silver Gloves champion; Hinkey’s younger brother, heavyweight Tyler Hinkey (2-0-1, 2 KOs); Providence junior welterweight Jesus Caro, New England Golden Gloves champion; Brockton (MA) welterweight Alexandria Madgziak. Caro and Madgziak will be making their pro debuts. All bouts and fighters are subject to change.
