Williams-Brown chief support on "Cha-Ching In The Ring"
PROVIDENCE (June 9, 2007) - A Special Cruiserweight Attraction bout
between nine-time US National amateur champion Aaron Williams and tough
Derrick "D-Train" Brown has been added as chief support for THE June
20th "Cha-Ching In The Ring," featuring "The Pride of Providence" Peter
Manfredo, Jr., on ESPN2 Wednesday Night Fights at Foxwoods Resort Casino
in Mashantucket, Connecticut.
Williams (12-0-1, 8 KOs), fighting out of Las Vegas, will be making his
CES debut against Brown (13-2-2, 11 KOs), who is from New York City, in
a six-round match. Interestingly enough, former world light heavyweight
champion Eddie Mustapha Muhammad trains Williams, while Christy Martin,
arguably the greatest fighter in women's boxing history, handles Brown.
Jimmy Burchfield's Classic Entertainment & Sports, Inc. (CES) is
promoting "Cha-Ching In The Ring" in association with Foxwoods Resort
Casino and ESPN2.
WBC rated No. 14 super middleweight Manfredo (27-4, 13 KOs), star of The
Contender I television reality show, headlines against upset specialist
WBC No. 35 rated David Banks, who is coming off back-to-back wins
against previously unbeaten Elvin Ayala. Manfredo, a true throwback
fighter, will be in action for the third time since April 7.
Three years ago almost to the exact date, present IWBF lightweight
champion Jaime "Hurricane" Clampitt and women's boxing pioneer Jane
"Fleetwood Assassin" Couch will finally have a rematch to their The
Ring's 2004 "Female Fight of the Year," which Couch won via a very close
unanimous decision (96-95, 96-94, 96-94) for the IWBF and NABA light
welterweight titles.
Clampitt-Couch is the 10-round co-feature for a vacant IWBF junior
welterweight title. Clampitt (17-4-1, 7 KOs), a three-time world
champion, is coming off of a dominating victory by unanimous 10-round
decision against Mia St. John on February 9. Couch (28-9, 9 KOs),
representing her native England, is a 5-time world champion.
"What a great fight this is going to be," promoter Jimmy Burchfield
said. "Aaron is only 21. He's a phenom but he'll be severely tested by
Brown, who hasn't lost as a cruiserweight. On top of that we have two
great trainers and fighters working their corners. Christy could very
well end up fighting the winner of Clampitt and Couch.
"It's going to be a night to remember. Peter Manfredo is back again,
fighting for an unprecedented, at in today's world, third time in 75
days against a guy who is making a living knocking off favored fighters.
Clampitt-Couch was the 2004 'Female Fight of the Year' and I don't
expect anything less this time around. We also get to showcase some of
our other undefeated prospects such as come-backing Jarrod Tillinghast,
talented Angel Camacho, Jr., exciting Hank Lundy and a new kid from a
boxing family, Gerry Grealish."
Scheduled to fight on the undercard against opponents to be determined
are unbeaten light heavyweight Jarrod Tillinghast (8-0, 2 KOs),
undefeated super middleweight Angel Camacho, Jr. (6-0, 4 KOs) and
perfect Philadelphia light welterweight "Hammerin'" Hank Lundy (6-0).
The newest member of CES, junior middleweight "Irish" Gerry Grealish
(6-0, 4 KOs), who fought on the U.S. Marines Boxing Team and is a Boston
firefighter, makes his CES debut on June 20. He is a native of Galway,
Ireland who is living in Quincy, Massachusetts. One other bout is
expected to be added to the card. All fighters and bouts are subject to
change. |
