One of the potential show-stoppers on this card is the 6-round middleweight bout between rising prospect Thomas Falowo of Pawtucket, RI, and hard-hitting Hartford, Connecticut, native Tylon Burris
Since suffering his first and only loss in May of 2012, Falowo has become even more focused on his goal of capturing a world title, winning each of his last three fights by knockout. He's on the cusp of becoming a legitimate contender in the middleweight division, but Burris is no pusher. After ending a five-year layoff in May of 2012, Burris has won his last four fights to run his unbeaten record to 5-0, which includes an impressive knockout win over previously-unbeaten light heavyweight prospect Kevin Cobbs. Expect fireworks in this middleweight showdown
Gingras set to face Amparo, Falowo battles Burris as regional showdowns heat up May 17th card
With Vladine Biosse andShelito Vincent already grabbing headlines as the co-main event on Classic Entertainment & Sports' Friday, May 17th, 2013 professional boxing event at Twin River Casino, the stacked undercard is threatening to steal the spotlight.
Two more regional showdowns are on tap for "The New Era," starting with Pawtucket, R.I., middleweight Thomas Falowo (9-1, 7 KOs) stepping up to face undefeated power-puncher Tylon Burris (5-0, 3 KOs) of Hartford, Conn., in a six-round bout. Super middleweight Rich Gingras (12-3, 8 KOs) of Attleboro, Mass., a former contestant on The Contender reality television series, will battle the red-hot Joey Gardner (11-5-1, 1 KO) of Woonsocket, R.I., in a six-round bout.
The always-busy Falowo, who's known for throwing a high volume of punches from start to finish, will have his hands full with Burris, who has raised eyebrows in New England following an impressive knockout win over previously-unbeaten light heavyweight prospect Kevin Cobbs in November. Falowo has won his last three bouts, all by knockout, since suffering his first loss in May of 2012.
The Gingras-Gardner showdown came to fruition after Providence's Alex Amparo was forced to withdraw from his scheduled rematch with Gardner due to a rib injury. Gardner, who has won his last three fights, will instead face Gingras, a former cruiserweight now looking to make his mark in the super middleweight division.
