Buy Tickets to Richard Pierson’s Upcoming Fight and Win a Pair Of Signed Boxing Gloves

Team Pierson recently announced they will be giving away a pair of boxing gloves signed by super middleweight prospect Richard Pierson to a randomly drawn winner.

To be eligible to win the pair of gloves simply buy a boxing ticket to Pierson’s upcoming fight from Lou Esa at Winning Method Management—9 Hansen Place, Wayne, NJ 07470—973-885-7962.

The winner will be drawn and announced on April 1.

About Pierson, Esa says, “Richard is probably one of the most devastating punchers I’ve ever worked with. This kid can hit you with either hand that’ll put you on Queer Street. He is determined to win a championship, and I think he will. This kid is not going away silently; in fact he isn’t going away at all. He is someone to be reckoned with, and nobody wants to fight him now.”

Pierson has the talent, power and drive to work his way up the middleweight rankings and can find himself going to battle for a belt by the end of the year.

In his last outing February 17, Pierson finished off Anibal Acevedo at the conclusion of the first round with a devastating right hook to the body.

At the moment Pierson’s opponent is TBD, but the fighter is anxiously waiting stepping between the ropes again.

Throughout his career Pierson has faced much adversity; countless times he has trained and prepared for a fight only for it to fall through.

When asked about the ticket raffle for signed gloves Pierson said, “Honestly I wish I can take every pair of gloves off after I fight and hand them to a young kid, a supporting fan or even somebody who is out there and didn’t come to see me, they just came to support boxing; but the promoters won’t allow us to do that. But nobody can stop me from giving the fans something from my heart.”

Pierson has established himself as a top middleweight fighter with serious implications on making a title run by the end of 2012.

For tickets for Richard Pierson’s road to a middleweight title fight, call Lou Esa at Winning Method Management at 973-885-7962 or visit the gym at 9 Hansen Place, Wayne, NJ 07470.

Tickets are $50 for general admission; $100 for ringside; $200 for VIP ringside (front row seat and coupon for concession stand). The doors open at 5:30 and the first fight begins at 7 p.m.

The Robert Treat Hotel is located at 50 Park Place, Newark, NJ.
