McLaughlin & Hutchinson Victorious At Irish Cultural Center

BOXING EVENT UNDER THE TENT
Oct. 26, 2013 ● Irish Cultural Centre, Canton, MA


RESULTS FROM CANTON, MASS.
CANTON, Mass. (October 26, 2013) -- Irish southpaw Michael "Donegal Dynamite" McLaughlin (6-1-1, 3 KO) and middleweight  Sergio Cabrera engaged in a wild, back-and-forth main event on today's "Boxing Event Under The Tent" card, at the Irish Cultural Centre in Canton, Massachusetts.

"Boxing Event Under The Tent" was presented by Big Six Entertainment, in association with Danny Kelly Promotions.  

Ireland-native McLaughlin, who lives and fights out of Dorchester (MA), won his fourth straight fight bit it was farm from easy.  McLaughlin decked the Cabrera in the third, but McLaughlin was dropped twice in the fourth, barely avoiding the referee's stoppage.  McLaughlin finished strong to win, however, to win on all three judges' scorecards by identical scores of 57-54.  

Irish junior middleweight John "Buncrana Banger" Hutchinson remained unbeaten (5-0-2, 1 KO), winning a unanimous four-round decision over Robert "Flying Hawk" Brando-Hunt in rematch from this past July that ended in a 'no contest' when Brando-Hunt was cut over the eye from an unintentional head-butt.

Local favorite Gerald "The Artist" Schifone (2-0, 1 KOs), fighting out of nearby Stoughton, stole the show, unleashing a barrage of unanswered bombs on pro-debuting Wayne Harnoise,  until referee Paul Casey halted the bout late in the opening round. Harnoise, who had been dropped but beat the count, was in no condition to resume fighting.

Heavyweight Donnie "The Big Nasty" Palmer (2-0-1, 2 KOs) remained undefeated, winning the battle of Dorchester (district of Boston) when Boston police officer Tyrone "Lock 'Em Up" Smith was unable to continue fighting after two rounds.

Providence super middleweight K.J. "Canine" Harrison-Lombardi (3-0-1, 1 KO) pitched a shutout, winning all four rounds against Brockton's pro-debuting Lionel "Boogz" Young.

In his pro debut, Lamour squares-off against Issa Coulibaly (0-3), of Washington D.C., in a four-round fight on Saturday night/

Unbeaten Pawtucket (RI) light welterweight Diego Periera (7-0-1, 2 KOs) meets a much more experienced Bryan "The Brick" Abraham (6-14-2, 6 KOs) in the six-round co-feature.

Cape Cod heavyweight Jesse Barboza (4-1-1, 3 KOs) returns to the ring for the first time in two years, facing Kevin Franklin (4-5, 1 KO) in a six-round match. All eyes will be focused on a six-rounder between a pair of unbeaten junior welterweights, Gabriel Deluc (6-0, 1 KO), of Boston, and Waterbury's (CT) Jair Ramos (3-0-1, 2 KOs).

Solid 'Big Things' Undercard


2004 U.S. Olympian Jason Estrada Headlines Nov. 10 in Providence
PROVIDENCE (November 2, 2012) - Big Six Entertainment has announced a solid undercard for the "Big Things" card, headlined by 2004 U.S. Olympian Jason "Big Six" Estrada (19-4, 5 KOs), on Saturday night, November 10 at the Rhode Island Convention Center in Providence.

Estrada faces veteran heavyweight Galen "Bad Boy" Brown (38-20-1, 23 KOs) in the eight-round main event, which will be supported by nine scheduled fights showcasing many of New England's favorite boxers.

"Big Six Entertainment is committed to bringing the most competitive and entertaining fights to fans," Big Six Entertainments president Artie DePinho said. "Jason Estrada is keeping busy and positioning himself for a big fight in the heavyweight division. We've put together a good undercard, supporting his main event fight, featuring solid bouts and fan-favorite fighters."

Unbeaten Pawtucket (RI) light welterweight Diego Periera (7-0-1, 2 KOs) faces his stiffest test to date in the six-round co-feature against battle-tested Bryan "The Brick" Abraham (6-14-2, 6 KOs), whose deceptive record includes wins over prospects such as highly-decorated U.S. amateur boxer Darnell Jiles (8-2) and previously unbeatens Dominic DeSanto (5-0), Johnathan Vasquez (4-0) and Scott Burell (3-0). Pereira is stepping up to fight a more experienced opponent in a risky fight that is more dangerous than it may appear on paper.

The Fight of the Night could very well turn out to be a six-rounder between unbeaten junior welterweights, Gabriel Deluc (6-0, 1 KO), of Boston, and Waterbury's (CT) Jair Ramos (3-0-1, 2 KOs).

Also fighting on the undercard in four-round fights are Hyannis (MA) light heavyweight Paul Gonsalves (4-2, 3 KOs), who squares-off against Ahmad Mickens (1-2-1); rededicated Providence junior welterweight Josh "Bam Bam" Beeman (4-11-3, 2 KOs) shoots for his first win in four years in a potential brawl with Carlos Hernandez(3-2, 2 KOs), winner of his last three in a row; 2009 New England Golden Gloves champion Russell Lamour, fighting out of Portland (ME), makes his professional debut against middleweight Issa Coulibaly (0-3); former Irish National amateur champion Michael McLaughlin (2-1-1), fighting out of Boston, plans to rebound from his first loss in a welterweight match versus Robert Hunt (0-2), of Hyannis; Providence middleweights Kevin Harrison and Pubilo Pena make their pro debuts fighting each other; Springfield super middleweight Reinaldo Graceski (2-0) goes for his first knockout in a throw-down with Michael Mitchell (0-1).

PROVIDENCE (June 29, 2012) - In his continuing effort to get back to the top of the American heavyweight scene, 2008 U.S. Olympian Jason "Big Six" Estrada won a workmanlike eight-round decision over Puerto Rican-invader Alex Gonzales in the main event on tonight's "Takeover" card, presented by Big Six Entertainment, at the Rhode Island Convention Center in Providence.

In a toe-to-toe battle between quick-handed Estrada (19-4, 5 KOs) and cagey southpaw Gonzales (20-7, 10 KOs), Providence heavyweight Estrada consistently beat Gonzales, a former world title challenger and 1992 Puerto Rican Olympian, to the punch.

Estrada won all eight rounds on each of the three judges' scorecards by scores of 80-72.

"I thought it was a good performance," Estrada said after the fight. "The dude can take a shot. Once I realized that he wouldn't go, I boxed his head off. I hurt my thumb a little in the second round, so I boxed and used my jab.

"Next? If (Tony) Grano wants to fight, let's go. I've been trying to get him in the ring for a long time."

The comeback of former USBA and NABO middleweight champion Brian "The Bull" Barbosa (31-6, 23 KOs), now fighting out of Providence, continued on a high note in the co-feature. Barbosa decked light heavyweight John "Rusty" Johnson (13-3, 11 KOs) twice en route his fifth-round TKO victory.

Pawtucket (RI) junior welterweight Diego Pereira (7-0-1, 3 KOs) kept his unbeaten record intact, destroying dangerous William "Chino" Correa (9-6, KOs) by way of a second-round technical knockout.

The long awaited pro debut of junior lightweight Toka Khan-Clary was a monumental success. Liberian-native Kahn-Clary, fighting out of Pawtucket (RI), dropped a game Jonathan Caban with a body shot in the opening round. The young southpaw dropped Caban again in the second and pounded the New Yorker until the referee halted the action later in the same round.

Unbeaten junior welterweight Jair Ramos (3-0, 2 KOs) stopped an overmatched Joel Alarcon in the third round.

Providence junior middleweight Kali Reiss improved her record to 5-1-1, taking a four-round decision from Lyneisha Jefferson in an action-packed fight.

Jesus Cintron (1-1-1) recorded his first win as a professional with a four-round decision over Rameil Shelton.

Injury-free Jason 'Big Six' Estrada Climbing back to top of heavyweight division

Big Six logo



Headlining 'Takeover' card Friday night in Providence
Jason Estrada
  
Jason "Big Six" Estrada
  
PROVIDENCE (June 26, 2012) --  Healthy for the first time in his professional career, 2004 U.S. Olympian Jason "Big Six" Estrada continues his march back to the top of the heavyweight division, headlining Friday night's Big Six Entertainment-presented "Takeover" card, at the Rhode Island Convention Center in Providence.

The 31-year-old Estrada (18-4, 5 KOs), fighting out of Providence, faces 1992 Puerto Rican Olympian Alex Gonzales (20-6, 10 KOs) in the eight-round main event.  One of the most decorated amateur boxers in United States history, Estrada is coming off of arguably his most impressive performance last March, a stunning second-round knockout of veteran Dominque Alexander. 

At the height of his career, to date, Estrada went the distance on the road in highly competitive fights with present World Boxing Association ("WBA") World Heavyweight Champion Alexander Povetkin, as well as two-time, two-division world champion  Tomasz Adamek.  

Estrada's most notable victims have included Lance Whitaker, Derek Bryant, Charles Shufford and Zuri Lawrence.  Throughout his career, however, Jason was hampered by aggravating injuries to his elbow and ankle, which have been repaired through surgeries, allowing him to fight pain-free and putting him back in the heavyweight picture.

"This is the first time I've been healthy since before the 2004 Olympic Games (he suffered from plantar fasciitis)," Estrada explained.  "It's made a huge difference for me, training and in fights.  I'm not worried anymore about hurting something.  Now, I'm throwing without recourse.

"This is another one of our shows (Big Six Entertainment), so I don't have to worry about all of the nonsense working for other promoters.  I want to keep active.  I enjoy fighting at home in Providence.  I've never felt added pressure fighting here but, fighting in front of family and friends, I always want to look good, not just win."

Gonzales is an experienced southpaw who is a past United States Boxing Association heavyweight champion.  He has been in the ring with former world champion Vassiliy Jirov and world title challenger Calvin Brock.

"I don't have problems fighting southpaws," Estrada said.  "I've beaten four or five as a pro and fought so many as an amateur.  In the early nineties, southpaw was the style of many International boxers.

"I'm getting back to where I was.  I'm not there, yet, but I believe a big fight is on the horizon for me.  I just want to keep fighting and beat some big names.  I'm hoping to win a few titles and make some money before it's all over for me."

In the six-round co-feature, former USBA/NABO middleweight champion Brian "The Bull" Barbosa (30-6, 22 KOs), also fighting out of Providence, meets dangerous Mississippi light heavyweight John Johnson (13-2, 10 KOs).

Pawtucket (RI) welterweight Diego Periera (6-0-1, 2 KOs) puts his unbeaten on the line versus William "Chino" Correa (9-5, 8 KOs), of Framingham (MA), in a six-round contest.

Also fighting on the undercard in four-round bouts are Providence welterweight Kali Reiss (4-1-1, 2 KOs) vs. Lyneisha Jefferson (0-1), of Newark (NJ), Providence junior welterweight Josh "Bam Bam" Beeman (4-11-3, 2 KOs) vs. Robert Hunt (0-2), of Hyannis (MA), Waterbury (CT) light welterweight Jair Ramos (2-0, 1 KO) vs. New Bedford's Joel Alarcon (0-2), Providence's Rameil Shelton (0-4) vs. Puerto Rican junior middleweight Jesus Cintron (0-1-1), and Cape Cod heavyweight Jesse Barboza (4-1-1, 3 KOs), of Hyannis (MA), vs. Salmon "Manos de Piedra" Beccera (2-5, 2 KOs).

Pawtucket lightweight prospect Toka Kahn-Clary, a 2010 National Golden Gloves champion who has signed a promotional deal with Top Rank, makes his much anticipated pro debut against Jonathan Caban (0-2) in a four-round match.  All fights and fighters are subject to change.

Tickets, reasonably priced at $35.00, $45.00 and $75.00, are available to purchase by calling 1.401.241.3490 (RI) or 1.617.312.5059 (MA), going on line atwww.bigsixentertainment, com or www.ticketmaster.com, and at the Rhode Island Convention Center box office.

Doors open at 6 PM/ET with the first bout scheduled for 7 PM/ET.
