GOFIGHTLIVE'S MARCH 5TH& 6TH REPLAYS AVAILABLE NOW! EXCITING TITLE FIGHTS, EXCITING KNOCKOUTS, AND 70 ROUNDS OF ACTION!

Boxing fans who didn't quite get their fill of the professional fight game this weekend need not worry, as GoFightLive.tv has announced that this past week's live webcasts of DiBella Entertainment's March 5th "The Rematch," and Star Boxing's March 6th all-star boxing event, are still available for viewing at www.GoFightLive.tv !

MARCH 6TH

Joe DeGuardia's March 6th all-star boxing event gives fight fans the opportunity to catch another six professional bouts, a USBA light welterweight headlining event, and 5 exciting bouts ending via knockout...all in one spectacular event!

In the evening's co-main event "Mighty" Mike Arnaoutis (18-2-2, 9 KO's) moved one step closer to a world title, capturing the USBA Light Welterweight Title, with a 12-round unanimous decision victory over the dangerous Harrison Cuello (15-6-2, 11 KO's).

In the evening's other co-main event, "The Heavyweight Highlight Film" Vinny Maddalone (29-4, 20 KO's) scored a second-round TKO victory over seasoned professional veteran, Jeff Yeoman (21-9, 8 KO's). For Maddalone, a major fan-favorite in the sport of boxing, it was his second consecutive win, since putting forth a valiant effort against the legendary, and future hall of famer, Evander Holyfield, on March 17, 2007.

If the combination of watching fan-favorites Mike Arnaoutis and Vinny Maddalone in action was not quite enough, fear not, as Joe DeGuardia's Star Boxing event represents boxing fans with the opportunity to see 5 of the 6 bouts end the old-fashion way...via knockout!

MARCH 5th

Lou DiBella's "The Rematch" features 8 action-packed bouts, to include Gary Stark Jr's10-round unanimous decision headlining victory win over Andres Ledesma. The win saw Stark (21-2, 8 KO's) avenge one of his only two professional defeats. In May, 2007, while ahead on all three judges scorecards, Stark suffered a devastating fifth-round TKO loss to Ledesma. Last Wednesday night, Stark came back with a vengeance, earning a close, hard-fought unanimous decision over his prior conqueror.
Also, in the evening's co-feature bout junior-welterweight Edgar Santana (23-3, 15 KO's) scored his second consecutive third-round TKO victory, defeating ageless veteran Grover Wiley (30-11-1, 14 KO's).
