Thursday night guests Jermain Taylor & Wayne McCullough
WOBURN, Mass. (July 5, 2005) - The thrice-weekly New England Ringside
Radio Show, effective this week, expands into Connecticut on WXTC 990AM
in Hartford, New England Ringside president Rick Brutti announced today.
"Our expansion continues throughout New England with bases in Boston,
Providence and now Connecticut," Brutti said. "Our Thursday, Friday and
Saturday night show will be simulcast on WXTC starting this week. We're
excited about moving into a hot bed for boxing like Connecticut, home of
legendary Willie Pep, former world champion Marlon Starling and so many
other great fighters."
Thursday night's two-hour New England Ringside Boxing Radio Show -
hosted by Ted Bodenrader, Anthony Pepe, Rick Brutti and Joe Bills - airs
between 6-8 PM/ET on Boston's Boxing Station, The Zone (1510 AM). This
week's special guests are unbeaten middleweight title contender Jermain
"Bad Intentions" Taylor (23-0, 17 KOs) and former WBC bantamweight
champion Wayne "Pocket Rocket" McCullough (27-5, 18 KOs).
Taylor challenges undisputed middleweight champion Bernard "The
Executioner" Hopkins (46-2-1, 32 KOs) in the July 16 PPV main event from
The MGM Grand in Las Vegas. In the co-feature, McCullough faces WBC
super bantamweight title-holder Oscar Larios (55-3-1, 35 KOs) in their
much-anticipated rematch.
Friday evening's show is broadcast from 7-9 PM on The Drive (1320) in
Providence. Saturday night's show, broadcast weekly between 7-9 PM/ET,
