LaManna was born and raised in Nutley
This on-air meeting was set up due to some bold predictions that Crabtree had vowed just a week earlier on Facebook. Below are quotes from both fighters.
Thomas “Cornflake” LaManna (6-0, 4 KO’s)
“He is a tough guy. I saw him on tape and respect him and said let’s go”
“It means everything to me to be fighting at home. I will have lots of support”
“I have been training extra hard”
“I laughed when I saw that Facebook post”
“I see a win and that’s it”
Daniel Crabtree (3-3, 3 KO’s)
“We are going to be coming hard on the 17th”
“He has a nice record. A 6-0 guy in his hometown is perfect for me”
“I enjoy fighting in New Jersey”
“I have one job and that’s too take his head off and I will be damned if he will do anything about it”
“I see a knockout no question about it”
