Bronx, NY - Joe DeGuardia's
Star Boxing presents an all- star card featuring two of Star Boxing's more
popular fighters in Co-Main Events. "Mighty" Mike Arnaoutis (17-2, 9 KO's)
the Pride of Greece, collides with Dominican power puncher Harrison Cuello
(15-5, 11 KO's) in a 140-pound contest for the vacant USBA Junior
Welterweight Title. As an added attraction, fan favorite Vinny Maddalone
(28-4, 20KO's) once again steps through the ropes squaring off against tough
Ohio veteran Jeff Yeoman (21-8, 8 KO's) in an 8 round Heavyweight battle.
All the action takes place on Thursday, March 6th at the Grand Ballroom of
The Manhattan Center in New York City, NY.
"I'm thrilled to be able to
have two of our fan favorite fighters on the same show" stated Joe DeGuardia,
CEO of Star Boxing. "This card will be a signature Star Boxing event, as
both fighters have large and passionate fan bases. Ethnic pride always makes
for exciting fights. Since Arnaoutis wants another World Title fight and
Maddalone leaves everything in the ring each time he fights, we expect a
FANtastic night of boxing on March 6th" DeGuardia added.
"Mighty" Mike looks to
bounce back into the win column after two straight tough defeats one of
which was a highly controversial split decision loss to Ricardo Torres for
the then vacant WBO Jr. Welterweight crown on November 18, 2006. Arnaoutis
dropped Torres in the seventh round of that fight and to almost all ringside
viewers looked to capture the WBO title, but was denied due to very
questionable scoring.
In his last bout on April
20,2007, "Mighty Mike" took on the challenge of highly regarded Kendall
Holt, a bout for the number 1 ranking in the WBO and the right to fight a
rematch with Ricardo Torres. Arnaoutis trained and fought without long time
trainer Bill Johnson in his corner and the results were evident as Mike was
unable to figure out the elusive style of Holt, losing a unanimous 12 round
decision. Now reunited with Johnson, "Mighty Mike" looks to add the USBA
belt as he takes on the hungry Dominican puncher, Harrison Cuello.
Harrison Cuello is a very
dangerous opponent because he brings 1 punch knockout power into the ring
with him. On June 20th, 2007, Cuello stepped into the ring with top prospect
Edgar Santana, who was riding a 5 year, 16 fight win streak into the fight.
One devastating punch from Cuello in the 3rd round ended all that. Cuello is
a very exciting fighter who cannot be taken lightly.
The fight fans in
attendance at the Manhattan Center on the night of March 6th will also be
treated to a heavyweight battle with the exciting Vinny Maddalone in the
co-main event of the evening. Having been in the ring with the legendary
Evander Holyfield and cherished by fans and boxing experts for his wars with
Brian Minto, Maddalone is certain to give the fans what they have come to
expect, excitement, blood and guts. This will be one show you do not want to
miss!
