(FEB 28) Bronx, NY - Joe DeGuardia's Star
Boxing presents yet another exciting night of boxing, March 6th at The Grand
Ballroom at The Manhattan Center, and once again GoFightLive's "World Fight
Night" will be there to cover all the action! The all-star card will present
fight-fans with a rare opportunity to watch two of Star Boxing's more
popular fighters, when "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, 20 KO'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.
Co-Main Event - Mike Aranoutis (17-2, 9 KO's) vs. Harrison Cuello (15-5, 11
KO's) 12-Rds. USBA Jr-Welter. Title
"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.
Co-Main Event - Vinny Maddalone (28-4, 20 KO's) vs. Jeff Yeoman (21-8, 8
KO's) - 8-Rds. Heavyweights
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 "The
Heavyweight Highlight Film" 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!
On the Undercard
8 - Round Middleweight Attraction - Curtis Stevens (17-2-1, 12 KO's) vs
Thomas Reid (35-21-1, 13 KO's)
Curtis Stevens is a throwback to the old days of boxing with his killer left
hook and crippling body punching. Curtis presents a danger to anyone who
stands opposite him in the squared circle. On this occasion, it will be
journeyman, Thomas Reid of Jackson, TN, who in his own right is not to be
taken lightly. Stevens will have his hands full as he will be facing a
fighter who has gone up against some of the best in the business. Taking on
a who's who of the 175-pound realm, Reid has fought the likes of former WBC
light heavyweight champion and Roy Jones Jr. conqueror Montell Griffin, WBO
175-pound titlist Julio Gonzalez, and light heavyweight contenders Elvir
Muriqi, Yusaf Mack, and Prince Badi Ajamu.

Welterweights – 4 Rounds
