Bobby Harris going into CES Ring of Honor “February Frenzy,” Feb. 6 at Twin River Event Center, RI

PROVIDENCE- Former 4-time U.S. national amateur champion Bobby Harris will be inducted into the prestigious CES Ring of Honor, Classic Entertainment and Sports, Inc. president Jimmy Burchfield announced, during a special “February Frenzy” card ceremony February 6 at Twin River Event Center in Lincoln, Rhode Island.

The 8-round main event features Providence’s former USNBC and IBF Intercontinental champion light heavyweight Joey “The KO Kid” Spina (23-1-1, 16 KOs), rated No. 14 by the WBO and No. 15 by the WBC.

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.

Harris reached the 1992 U.S. Olympic Box-Offs and captured a gold medal at the 1993 National Golden Gloves Tournament. The Worcester (MA) resident went on to a 20-2-1 (13) pro record as a heavyweight and last fought in 1999.

We excited about signing his brother, Adam, who will be making his CES debut on February 7. There’s no better setting to honor Bobby than on the same night as his brother’s CES debut.”

Worcester’s unbeaten cruiserweight Adam “The Hitman” Harris (10-0, 7 KOs), will have his brother, Bobby, in his corner for the first time as a second in a 6-round fight against Philadelphia boxer David Williams (5-2-1, 2 KOs).

ROCKY MARCIANO EXHIBIT HITS THE OLYMPICS

ROCKY MARCIANO EXHIBIT HITS THE OLYMPICS

After having achieved great success in Italy, the exhibit “From Rocco Marchegiano to Rocky Marciano” made it to the Olympic Games. It was hosted by “Casa Italia”, the village where all the Italian national teams spend most of their time. Panels with photos of the most important Rocky Marciano’s fights were put in front of the Business Lounge, so that all the athletes, officers, journalists and guests will be able to see them. Every panel is made of a giant photo with a few lines in Italian and English to explain who Rocky was fighting, when and where.

Being at the Olympics, the Rocky Marciano exhibit also hosted photos of 10 Italian fighters who won medals in the previous editions of the Games (since 1948): Ernesto Formenti, Aureliano Bolognesi, Nino Benvenuti, Franco Musso, Franco De Piccoli, Fernando Atzori, Cosimo Pinto, Patrizio Oliva, Maurizio Stecca e Giovanni Parisi.

The Chinese exhibit has been promoted by Francesca Mancini, with the support of the Province of Chieti, the Italian Boxing Commission (FPI) and the Italian Olympic Commission (CONI). Rocky Marciano’s father was from Ripa Teatina, close to Chieti, and that’s why the Province was willing to finance both the Italian and Chinese exhibitions.

The exhibit will move to New York and Baltimore, next September. That’s what Miss Mancini has to say about it:


“In New York we choose a location which should be perfect, but we don’t have a written agreement yet. Everything else has already been decided. The exhibit will be made of 4 sections about Rocky Marciano, the Italian-American immigration, the most important fights of the past 60 years and major boxing articles on the press.

Every section will have panels made of forex, with giant photos and the explaination in Italian and English. We’ll also have some memorabilia and tapes to be shown on video. We’ll have at least two press conferences: one at Gleason’s Gym, the second one at the location. My press agent, Luca De Franco, has the right connections in New York and will provide a lot of publicity. In Baltimore, the Italian Consul is working to bring the exhibit to his city. On August 14, I will leave China and go back to Italy. I hope to be in New York before the end of the month, to sign the contracts with the location, the insurance company and the people who will help me.”

NEW YORK WELCOMES ITALIAN EXHIBIT ABOUT ROCKY MARCIANO

Having already achieved great success in Italy, the exhibition “From Rocco Marchegiano to Rocky Marciano” will come to the United States beginning September 21, 2008. Promoted by Francesca Mancini, with the support of the Province of Chieti, the exhibit focuses on the life of the late undefeated heavyweight champion Rocky Marciano, who hailed from Brockton, Massachusetts. Although he was born in the United States, Marciano’s father was from Ripa Teatina, a small town close to Chieti in Central Italy.



From April 20-27, Ms. Mancini was in New York scouting locations for the exhibit. She was joined by Umberto Aimola, the vice president of the Province of Chieti; Riccardo De Girolami, the general secretary of the Italian Boxing Commission; Claudio Certosini, the executive of the Italian Olympic Commission; businesswoman Valeria De Cecco; and renowned international journalist Luca De Franco whose connections with the New York boxing community were instrumental in making things happen.



Ms. Francesca signed a contract to rent the fabled Gleason’s Gym in Brooklyn, New York, beginning on September 21, which was the day of Marciano’s final fight. On September 23, a major press conference will be held at Gleason’s with a very special surprise guest.

“I cannot divulge his name now, but he is so famous that his presence will bring journalists from major newspapers, radios and TV networks,” said Ms. Francesca, who added that from September 24 to October 13 the full show will be hosted by a major art gallery. In addition, in August, the exhibit will join the Italian boxing team during the Olympic Games in Bejing, China.

Between April 2007 and March 2008, the exhibit has been promoted with great success in four Italian cities: Ripa Teatina (Abruzzi), Siena (Tuscany), Pescara (Abruzzi), and Roseto(Abruzzi).



Ms. Francesca expects the exhibit to be as successful in the United States as it was in Italy. “I’ve been in New York, Baltimore and Brockton, and I met some great people who will guarantee the success of the exhibit,” she said. “The Italian Consul in Baltimore was really enthusiastic and will welcome the show there. In Brockton, I met Marciano’s family lawyer, who was more than willing to cooperate. In New York, Luca De Franco introduced me to Mr. Steven Acunto who has an impressive amount of memorabilia about Rocky Marciano. I was also glad to meet promoter Joe De Guardia, who came up with many great ideas about how to promote the exhibit. Rocky is a very popular figure in the United States. I have no doubt that the exhibit will be well received, not only by boxing fans but also by those interested in their Italian heritage. Everywhere we went, the support was tremendous.”
