BRONX, NY (November 15, 2013) Long Island fan favorite, heavyweight Vinny Maddalone heads back to the ring against Houston’s Maurenzo Smith on Friday, NOVEMBER 22 headlining Star Boxing’s
“Rockin Fights 11” at The Paramount in Huntington, Long Island.

Maddalone, 37-8-0 (28KO’s), is coming off a pair of third round knockouts, over then undefeated Richard Carmack on MAY 11 at The Paramount and on DECEMBER 8, 2012 over Byron Polley in Queens.

“No sense in wasting any time, I’m always looking to get them out of there early” said the affable Maddalone. “But I’ve watched some tape on Smith, he’s a pretty big guy, in good shape, looks like he works off the jab very well.”

“Ideally, I beat this guy and get a shot at one of the top ten heavyweights next, that’s really what I’m looking towards.”

The hard-hitting Smith, 12-7-2 (9KO’s), is coming off his career best performance, a second round stoppage of Ty Cobb on OCTOBER 5 in Lawton, Oklahoma.

“Smith had a terrific outing against Cobb and is full of confidence coming into this fight. But Vinny is very focused, he’s ready to keep the train rolling” said Joe DeGuardia, President of Star Boxing®.

“Vinny always been extremely popular, particularly in New York, and his fans are very excited to see him back at The Paramount.”

The Paramount has become the hottest venue in the New York and perhaps the United States, with 10 sold-out shows in a row and an unequaled atmosphere to watch boxing.

Continued Maddalone, “The Paramount is truly a special place, my fans loved coming to see me there in May. Joe’s done an outstanding job resurrecting boxing on Long Island similar to its heyday when Gerry Cooney was fighting.”

Advance tickets for “ROCKIN FIGHTS 11” starting at $50, are available online through Ticketmaster (Ticketmaster.com), the Star Boxing website (StarBoxing.com) and The Paramount Box Office, phone (631) 673-7300.

Huntington, NY (May 12, 2013) Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing returned to professional boxing’s Long Island home, The Paramount in Huntington, New York on Saturday night with another installment of their sold-out Rockin Fights series.

“This was our eighth event at The Paramount and the fans who continually turn out in droves, each time packing the house, have really made this a special place for professional boxing” said DeGuardia.

In the main event, longtime heavyweight contender Vinny Maddalone had the Long Island faithful on their feet cheering on his third round knockout of previously undefeated Richard Carmack of Kansas City, Missouri.

With crunching hooks to the body and power shots to the head throughout the first two rounds, Maddalone, 37-8-0 (27KO’s), earned the stoppage, drilling the beefy Carmack, 12-1-0 (10KO’s), to the canvas in the third round as referee Tony Chiaranto called a halt to the proceedings at the 2:57 mark.

“This was a terrific performance for Vinny and we’re looking to a bigger fight in the division in the coming months” said DeGuardia.

In the eight round light heavyweight co-main event, Buffalo, New York’s Lionell Thompson scored an upset over the returning Yathomas Riley of Augusta, Georgia. A hotly contested battle over the course of the bout, although it appeared Riley may have had a shot of winning the close rounds, Thompson, 14-2-0 (9KO’s) was declared the winner by scores of 77-75 twice and 79-73.

Returning to the ring from a three-year absence following a wrongful incarceration on a murder charge, Riley, 8-1-0 (6KO’s) suffered his first defeat as he couldn’t shake the 3 year ring rust.

Headlining the undercard, touted Huntington prospect Alan Gotay improved to 5-0-0 (2KO’s) with a thrilling performance over Brooklyn’s Bryan Acaba, earning the stoppage at the 1:58 mark of the sixth round in their lightweight bout in a fantastic fight. The valiant but outgunned Acaba fell to 3-4-0 (2KO’s) in the fight which saw celebrity guest LL Cool J enthusiastically cheering the efforts of both boxers.

Hicksville’s junior welterweight newcomer Anthony Karperis got back on the winning track with a sharp looking four round decision over Carlos Nieves of the Bronx.

Dropping Nieves in the fourth from a hard overhand right,
Karperis, 4-1-0 (2KO”s) was declared the winner by scores of 40-35 on all three cards. It was another exciting fight on the great card.

Pro debuting Dave Meloni of Westbury, New York, had a rough start to his pro career as he was dropped and stopped in the first round by Brooklyn’s Soumana Abdoulaye. Giving Meloni a chance to recover from an early knockdown, referee Eddie Claudio stopped the featherweight bout at the 1:54 mark of the opening stanza. Abdoulaye’s record moved to 2-6-0 (1KO).

Opening the show in a four round middleweight bout, Uniondale’s Marcus Beckford and Carlos Lopez of the Bronx fought to a crowd pleasing, action filled majority draw. Scores were 39-37 for Beckford and 38-38 on the other two cards. Beckford now 0-0-2 and Lopez 0-1-1.

NEW YORK: (May 6, 2013) Long Island fan favorite and perrienal contender Vinny Maddalone is in final preparations for his scheduled ten round heavyweight clash on SATURDAY, May 11 against undefeated prospect Richard Carmack of Kansas City, Missouri in the main event of “ROCKIN FIGHTS 8” at The Paramount in Huntington, New York.

Presented by Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing, advance tickets for “ROCKIN FIGHTS 8”, priced at $50, $100, $150 and $200 are now on sale through Ticketmaster, (www.Ticketmaster.com, 800-745-3000) or through The Paramount Box Office, (631) 673-7300 in addition to the Star Boxing Office, (718) 823-2000 or on their website, www.StarBoxing.com.

“This is a terrific opportunity for me, while I haven’t fought at The Paramount yet, the Star Boxing events there are always sold out and it’s a great atmosphere to fight in” said Maddalone. “It’s only 25 minutes from my house and I’m expecting a great deal of support” said the Queens native.

Following an extensive workout days before the fight, Maddalone spoke about the Carmack showdown and the state of the heavyweight division.

“The heavyweight division has had a great deal of focus on it right night. There are numerous fighters making names for themselves, Tyson Fury, David Price and Tony Thompson among them. I look at Pianeta who is fighting Wladimir Klitschko and I think why can’t that be me.”

“I’ve seen some tapes of Carmack, he’s a big kid, but he also has pretty good hand speed and solid skills, he’s not going to stand right in front of me. It’s a big opportunity but I’m more than ready, I’ve trained nine weeks for this fight” continued Maddalone, who since 1999 has used the Theme From Rocky as his walk in music.

Said DeGuardia; “Vinny is always an exciting fighter to watch. With him fighting an undefeated heavyweight, and with this fight taking place at the Paramount, it should be even more exciting to watch. Be sure to join us for another great night at The Paramount in Huntington.”

“ROCKIN FIGHTS 8” is co-headlined by a sensational eight round light heavyweight bout between undefeated prospect Yathomas Riley and Buffalo based veteran Lionell Thompson.

Featured on the undercard are local prospects Alan Gotay and Anthony Karperis in separate bouts along with pro debuting Dave Meloni of Westbury, New York.

QUEENS, NY – The Resorts World Casino hosted another successful night of fights on Saturday night as they featured Vinny Maddalone (35-8, 26 KO’s, 231 1/2lbs) up against Byron Polley 25-13-1, 11KO’s, 268 1/2lbs). The event was promoted by Ole World, New Legend, and Won Promotions in association with Joe Deguardia’s Star Boxing.

Maddalone, as usual, came out swinging. Polley was horribly overweight, and Maddalone zeroed in on his soft midsection. Maddalone scored a knockdown in the first, maintained control of the second, and stormed out of his corner in the third, gunning for the KO. A knockdown came early in the round, and Maddalone pounced, landing a hook upstairs. After a delayed reaction, Polley hit the canvas, and the referee waved the fight off. Maddalone won the fight by way of technical knockout victory at the 1:11 point of the third round.

The co-feature showcased Juan Dominguez (11-0, 7 KO’s, 121lbs) against Jhon Alberto Molina (30-21-3, 19 KO’s, 120lbs). Dominguez started the fight imposing his considerable size advantage with long and straight punches from a safe distance. Molina made attempts at getting inside behind a looping overhand right, but Dominguez seemed prepared for that by only using his jab when absolutely necessary. After three rounds, Dominguez was in control, but still hadn’t established himself as completely dominant. Both fighters seemed fresh as they made it to their corners before the fourth round, but Molina began complaining about an injury to his left thigh. He was unable to continue and was forced to retire, giving Dominguez a technical knockout victory at the :00 mark of the fourth round officially. Dominguez and his fans were glad for the win, but appeared disappointed in the fact that he couldn’t win the old fashioned way.

Frank Galarza (7-0-1, 4 KO’s, 152lbs) made his return to Resorts World hoping for a big performance against Roberto Lopez (4-3-2, 1 KO, 152lbs). Both fighters quickly established stiff jabs and followed up with hard rights, but it was Galarza who landed the cleaner blows. Galarza utilized the ring much better, which was something he hasn’t shown in past fights. Lopez wanted a brawl, but Galarza’s movement kept him in check. As the bout progressed, Lopez was able to continue his pressure and pin a seemingly tired Galarza. The fifth round saw Lopez strafe Galarza along the ropes. Galarza responded in the sixth by fighting like a completely different fighter; ripping huge punches on Lopez. The bout ended to rising applause. The judges all saw it the same, scoring it 59-55 for Galarza for the unanimous decision victory.

Angel Garcia (3-1, 2 KO’s, 134 lbs) showcased his fancy footwork against Victor Galindo (1-0, 1 KO, 133lbs). The first two rounds saw Garcia utilize an excess of movement while pot shotting. Galindo was more traditional, hoping to work behind a 1-2 combination. Landing a clean jab against a left handed fighter is a difficult task, and Garcia began to take advantage in the final two rounds of the fight, throwing numerous from multiple angles. The bout ended and the scores read 39-37, 39-37, and 38-38 in favor of Garcia, giving him a majority decision victory.

In front of a throng of supporters, Bryant Cruz (129 1/2lbs) made his professional debut against Jonathan Caban (0-3, 130lbs). Caban, despite being the taller of the two, was unable to keep Cruz off of him. The first two rounds saw Cruz maul Caban from pillar to post. It was more of the same in the third until the referee had no choice but to step in and call a stop to the onslaught, giving Cruz a technical knockout victory at the 1:20 mark.

About tewnty-seven years ago, Robert Garris was a star amateur with sixty-seven wins and only three losses. After suffering an injury, his professional hopes came to an end. That was until Saturday night. He came in at 171lbs and faced Abdellah Smith (1-4, 1KO, 174lbs) in a bout scheduled for four rounds. Abdellah, at 38 years of age, was no spring chicken himself. The first round saw both fighters size each other up. Neither one of them were steady on their feet. At the 1:08 point in the second, with Garris backing into a corner, Smith unleashed a powerful right hand that landed flush on Garris’ chin. Garris was knocked out cold; face down on the canvas. The crowd, whom he had won over with his story, was in shock. Then word spread out that his entire purse was to be donated to disadvantaged and orphaned children. It was then that Garris sat up, and then stood up to the roar of the fans in attendance. He might have lost, but he won over the hearts of everyone in attendance. Smith was credited with a 2nd round technical knockout.

The very talented Heather Hardy (2-0, 122lbs) made easy work of Ivana Coleman (0-3, 123 1/2lbs) over the course of four one sided rounds. Hardy was just simply too good and landed nonstop combinations throughout the fight. Coleman was able to stay on her feet and attempt to slip in some counter punches, but Hardy barely flinched. The final scores were unanimous in Hardy’s favor, all reading 40-36.

The opening bout of the evening featured a very entertaining for round scrap between Neuky Santelises (1-0, 1KO, 131lbs) and Micah Branch (1-2, 132lbs). From start to finish, both fighters attempted to finish eachother off with hard counter punching. The difference between the two was that Branch focused entirely on blows to the head, while Santelises’ punch selection was much more well rounded. After four spirited rounds, the final scores read 39-37, 40-36, and 39-37 in favor of Santelises, giving him a unanimous decision victory

The charismatic 24-year-old giant has defeated four previously unbeaten opponents – Dereck Chisora (14-0), Neven Pajkic (16-0), Marcelo Luiz Nascimento (13-0) and Rich Power (12-0) – in his last seven fights.

Tyson Fury, ranked in the top 10 worldwide by The Ring Magazine and promoted by Hennessy Sports, is coming off an impressive win. In April, Fury scored a third-round technical knockout win over Martin Rogan to clinch the Irish title.

Tyson faces a tough fight as he takes on popular American brawler and proven veteran, Vinny Maddalone from Queens, New York. Maddalone played the role of gatekeeper in the heavyweight division having fought world champions Evander Holyfield, Tomasz Adamek, Jean Marc Mormeck and Al “Ice” Cole during his 13-year professional boxing career.

Maddalone is coming off multiple wins by technical knockout including against Chris Koval (TKO4) and Mike Sheppard (TKO1). Maddalone is promoted by Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing.

ATLANTIC CITY (October 22, 2011)-He has always been known as one of the most exciting Heavyweights in the world due to his never say die attitude but now Vinny Maddalone wants his shot.

Maddalone (33-7, 24 KO’s), who fights Mike Sheppard (20-12-1, 9 KO’s) tonight at the Tropicana Casino & Resort knows that he could be just a couple fights away from that goal.

The card is promoted by Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing and will be broadcasted on Azteca America.

In the main event, Raymond Serrano (16-0, 8 KO’s) will put his perfect record on the line when he takes on Angel Rios (9-7, 6 KO’s) in a ten round Jr. Welterweight bout.

“I have been right on the brink on a couple of occasions”, said the popular native of Queens, New York.

“Look at my last two losses. I lose to Tomasz Adamek he gets a shot at (WBC Champion) Vitali Klitschko and Jean Marc Mormeck and now he is getting (IBF/WBO/WBA) champion Wladimir in December”

Maddalone will be stepping into the ring for the first time since being stopped by Adamek last December.

“I have been down this road before. I know what I have to do to get that opportunity. I have to take care of Sheppard and then maybe go overseas again and get a big victory over there”

Maddalone almost pulled off that feat when he traveled to France and took on the former Cruiserweight champion on December 17th, 2009

Maddalone dropped a close decision and it was back to square-one.

“That’s the one that really eats away at me. I was right there with him and now he is getting his shot”

Maddalone knows that with a couple big wins that he brings more to the table then a lot of the recent title challengers

“I see what the Klitschko’s are doing. They are fighting guys from different countries who may bring a fan base. Well I am a popular Heavyweight from the biggest city in the world and I know what I need to do and that’s win and I believe this can become a reality”

Star Boxing’s Shamone Alvarez (21-4, 12 KO’s) will battle the grizzled veteran Doel Carrasquillo ( 15-18-1 13 KO’s) in an eight round Welterweight bout.

Super Middleweight prospect Jason Escalera (11-0, 10 KO’s) will look to stay perfect when he fights Mickey Scarborough (6-3, 6 KO’s) in a six round bout.

Local favorite, Chazz Witherspoon (28-2, 20 KO’s) will see action against Ty Cobb (14-2, 8 KO’s) in a eight round Heavyweight attraction

ATLANTIC CITY, NJ (October 13, 2011) -Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing presents the return of one of the most exciting Heavyweights in the world when New York’s Vinny Maddalone takes on Mike Shepperd in the ten round main event live from the Tropicana Casino & Resort in Atlantic City on Saturday night October 22nd.

The show will be broadcast nationwide on Azteca America beginning at 10pm (EST).

In the televised main event, undefeated Jr. Welterweight Raymond “Tito” Serrano will take on tough as nails, Angel Rios in a bout scheduled for ten rounds.

Maddalone (33-7-0, 24 KO’s) is known for his blood and guts fighting style. Many of his past battles have been Fight of the Year candidates and he always thrills the crowd with his sheer power and aggressiveness.

Maddalone is prepared to make one last run at Heavyweight glory in hopes of landing that elusive opportunity to challenge for the Heavyweight Championship of the World. He has bravely battled the division’s elite, including former World Champions Tomasz Adamek, Jean Marc Mormeck and legendary four-time Heavyweight Champion of the World Evander Holyfield. Despite coming up short in those bouts, the experience gained in those fights have prepared Maddalone in his quest to score a career revitalizing victory to get him back in a marquee fight at the top of the Heavyweight Division.

Maddalone will be returning to the ring for the first time since losing to Adamek ten months ago.

Shepperd of Palestine, West Virginia is riding a five bout winning streak highlighted by his first round stoppage over 12-1 prospect Justin Howes. The veteran has an overall record of 20-12-1 with nine knockouts.

Philadelphia’s hot Puerto Rican prospect Raymond Serrano will be putting his undefeated 16-0 (8 KO’s) on the line as he takes on the determined Angel Rios 9-7 (6), Bronx, NY.

The twenty-two year old Serrano has been moving up the ranks with nationally televised victories over Jay Krupp, Ronnie Warrior Jr. and most recently Daniel Sostre, a bout seen on ESPN2 “Friday Night Fights”. This will be Serrano’s first ten round bout and second in the Jr. Welterweight division.

Rios will prove to be a stern test for Serrano as Rios has never been stopped in his sixteen bout career while facing four undefeated fighters which included former world champions Nate Campbell and Mike Anchondo. Rios is coming off a hard fought eight round unanimous decision defeat at the hands of undefeated prospect Terrance Crawford on September 10th in Atlantic City.

An explosive undercard featuring Star Boxing’s Shamone Alvarez and Jason Escalera, as well as popular Heavyweight Chazz Witherspoon, will fill out the card.

Tickets for October 22nd are available by calling the Star Boxing office at (718) 823-2000 or visiting www.starboxing.com. Tickets are priced at $30, $50, $100 and $200.

Tickets may also be purchased at any Ticketmaster outlet, or by going directly online to Ticketmaster.com.

On Saturday, August 27th, Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing, returns to the beautiful Tropicana Showroom in the Tropicana Casino and Resort in Atlantic City, to present an action packed seven bout card, featuring heavyweight fan favorite, Vinny Maddalone (33-7, 24KO’s), Atlantic City’s own long-time welterweight contender, Shamone “The Truth” Alvarez (21-4, 12KO’s) in separate bouts. Maddalone is set to take on Mike Sheppard in a ten round heavyweight showdown, while Alvarez will meet Chris Fernandez in an eight round welterweight match-up.

Just recently added to the card is Philadelphia’s heavyweight contender, Chazz Witherspoon (28-2, 20KO’s) as he is set to square off against Tyson Cobb (14-2, 8KO’s). Witherspoon, the 2004 National Golden Gloves Champion, is looking to put himself back into the title contention picture. His two losses as a pro came at the hands of top-rated contenders and world title challengers, Chris Arreola and Tony Thompson. Since the loss to Thompson, Witherspoon has picked up two straight stoppage victories, and will be looking to make it three straight in front of a large contingent of hometown fans who are expected to make the short trip over from Philadelphia. Witherspoon-Cobb is scheduled for eight rounds in the heavyweight division.

Also featured on the card is Star Boxing’s, super middleweight knockout artist, Jason “Monstruo” Escalera (11-0, 10KO’s) as he takes on Mickey Scarborough (6-3, 6KO’s) in a six round super middleweight showdown. Escalera, who hails from Union City, NJ, is an exciting prospect, with concussive power in either hand. Of the eleven opponents he has faced, only one was able to make it past the third round. Escalera, who signed with Star Boxing earlier this spring, is coming off a second round annihilation over Mustafah Johnson in his Star debut back in May of this year.

Returning to the ring, fresh off his first round knockout on July 15th, will be Kevin “Kid” Rooney (2-0, 1KO) as he looks to keep his undefeated record in-tact when he takes on New Jersey’s, pro-debuting, Carlos Perez in a four round jr. middleweight match-up. Rooney, the son of world renowned trainer, Kevin Rooney, made his pro-debut on ESPN’s Friday Night Fights in April. In his last bout, Rooney scored a devastating one-punch knockout over Queen’s Elmer Vera, on the undercard of Delvin Rodriguez and Pawel Wolak’s epic battle that is considered the leading candidate for fight of the year candidate.

In a battle of undefeated New Jersey prospects, Vineland’s Ismael Garcia (3-0) squares off against Camden’s, Luis Cream (2-0) in a four round jr. middleweight showdown where someone’s O must go. For Garcia, who hails from nearby Vineland, it will be his fourth consecutive fight under the bright lights of Atlantic City since turning pro.

Rounding out the card will be Atlantic City’s own, Althea Saunders (2-0-1) in a four round female welterweight match-up.

Tickets can be purchased by calling the Star Boxing office at (718) 823-2000 or visiting www.starboxing.com. Tickets are priced at $30, $50, $100 and $200. Tickets may also be purchased at any Ticketmaster outlet, or by going directly online to Ticketmaster.com.

Promoter Kathy Duva talks about Tomasz Adamek’s fifth round stoppage over Vinny Maddalone and his future plans

Top heavyweight contender Tomasz Adamek talks about his fifth round stoppage over Vinny Maddalone

Heavyweight contender Vinny Maddalone talks about his fifth round loss to Tomasz Adamek

Top Heavyweight contender Tomasz Adamek stopped veteran Vinny Maddalone in round five of a scheduled twelve round Heavyweight bout at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.

It was evident early that Adamek’s handspeed would be a problem for Maddalobe as he pushed him back more with speed then with force. Maddalone got into the fight in round two as he connected on a couple flush shots. In round four, Adamek rocked Maddalone with a hard combination that seemingly had the Queens native in trouble but Maddalone contibued to fight back as he winged in some right hands.

Adamek dropped Maddalone in round five from a blistering three punch combination that was cleaned up by a pinpoint left hook to the head. Maddalone was hurt but showed tremendous courage as he fought his heart out as he was throwing wild hayemakers while Adamek was throwing a rapid fire onslaught in an effort to finish Maddalone off. He got that seconds later as with Maddalone eating hard punch after hard punch, Maddalone’s corner saved their fighter from any further damage as the fight was stopped at 2:17 of round five.

Adamek, 216 1/2 lbs of Gilowice, Poland is now 43-1 with twenty-eight knockouts. Maddalone. 230 lbs of Queens, NY is now 33-7.

Patrick Majewski vs. Eddie Caminero — 8 Rounds, Middleweights

In an absolute war, the Polish-born, New Jersey-based Patrick Majewski scored a thrilling 8th round KO over Lawrence, Massachusett’s Eddie Caminero.

From start to finish, both fighters were willing to stand in trade punches with one another, willing to get hit to land one of their own.

In the opening round, both fighter’s dug in and stood their ground, throwing ill-intentioned punches, with Majewski getting the better of Caminero — who started to bleed from a cut over his left eye.

In the second round, it was more of the same, except Caminero got the better of Majewski, opening up a cut of the fan-favorite’s right eye.

Round three echoed that of the first two, with the Polish fans increasingly getting louder in their support for Majewski, chanting “Polska! Polska!” and “Majewski! Majewski!”

By the time the bell sounded to end round three, Caminero was starting to bleed above his right eye.

Both fighters continue to trade bombs to the crowds delight until the 1:20 seconds into the 8th round when Majewski landed a huge right hand that sent Caminero to the canvass, where referee Sparkle Lee immediately called a halt to the bout.

With the win, Majewski stays undefeated and improves to 15-0, 10 KOs, while Caminero drops to 7-4, 7 KOs.–Kyle Kinder

Former U.S. Olympian got what amounted to a sparring session with tough Manuel Guzman as Ali pounded out an eight round unanimous decision in a Welterweight bout.

Ali peppered Guzman with an assortment of right hands and jabs and mixed in some nice body shots.

Ali, 147 lbs of Brooklyn, won on all cards by an 80-72 tally to raise his record to 11-0. Guzman, 145 lbs of San Juan, PR is now 7-10-2.

Gabriel Rosado vs. Jose Medina

Philadelphia’s “King” Gabriel Rosado earned a well-deserved unanimous decision over Guadalajara, Mexico’s Jose Medina. Rosado was awarded the decision by scores of 80-72, 79-72, and 78-73.

Rosado worked well behind an effective jab, which help set up devastating right hands.

Midway through the round, Rosado was able to tag Medina, who now resides in New Hampshire, with a right cross that sent him off-balance, ultimately forcing his glove to touch the canvass in order to keep his body off it. Rosado was awarded the knockdown, as Medina was able get up and survive the round.

The bout’s most exciting action came in the opening minute of round four which saw Rosado aggressively attack Medina, landing an overhand right that momentarily hurt Medina. Rosado followed up quickly, throwing heavy punches, landing two left hooks to the right side of Medina’s face.

To his credit, Medina was unwilling to back down as he stood in the pocket and fired right back at Rosado, ultimately warded off the North Philadelphia native’s attack.

In the end, Medina was unable to muster up anything significant, and Rosado rolled to a unanimous decision victory.

With the win, Rosado improves to 15-5, 8 KOs, while Medina drops to 12-9, 5 KOs.–Kyle Kinder

Tarvis Simms returned after a year layoff to score a six round unanimous decision

Simms rocked Lockett in round one with a hard counter right and a left-right to the head sent Lockett down. He beat referee Benji Esteves count and got out of round one. In round two, Simms landed a big left that rocked Lockett once more and buckled him in round three with yet another hard left as Simms switched between orthodox and southpaw. Simms jabbed well and landed some nice combination’s as he cruised to the decision.

Simms, 167 lbs of Norwalk, CT won by scores of 6054; 60-53 and 60-53 to 26-1-1. Lockett, 167 lbs of Takoma Park, MD is now 12-11-5.

Angel Concepcion vs. Lekan Byfield

Newark, New Jersey’s Angel Concepcion easily outpointed Yonkers, New York’s Lekan Byfield to improve his already perfect record to 4-0. All three judges scored the bout in favor of Concepcion, 40-36.

Concepcion hurt Byfield multiple times throughout the bout, the most notable coming midway through round 3 when Concepcion connected flush with a straight right hand. While Byfield was hurt, the Newark native did little to follow up, however, letting precious time pass in between throwing punches.

Byfield fought with his hands down for the most of the fight, invited Concepcion to land punches on to his ill-defended face.

In the end, it was an easy win for Concepcion, while Byfield dropped his pro debut. —Kyle Kinder

Bryant Jennings scored scored a second round stoppage over Randy Smith in a four round Heavyweight bout.

Jennings dropped Smith with a hard right and when he got up he was wobbly and referee Sparkle Lee stopped the bout at 2:18 of round two.

Jennings 223 lbs of Philadelphia is now 5-0 with three knockouts. Smith, 256 1/2 lbs of Cortland, NY loses his pro debut.

Tomasz Adamek is set to make another appearance Thursday night at Newark’s Prudential Center. The Poland native, now fighting out of Jersey City, has made a second home at “The Rock”, and The Ring Magazine number four rated Heavyweight will bring his usual raucous crowd to pack the arena when he faces off against tough brawler Vinny Maddalone (33-6 24KO).

The Queens native will certainly have his hands full as he is the next target on Adamek’s path to possible future bouts with one of the Klitschko brothers. Already some murmuring around the boxing community about Vitali Klitschko’s camp talking with the Adamek camp about a potential 2011 date, Adamek is not one to take any opponent lightly and look towards the next one.

The task for Maddalone will include the 11,000 red and white clad fans, and a fast heavyweight who seems to never be in the same spot. Maddalone acknowledges this and will try to use a high pressure offense to force Adamek to do just that. Adamek’s boxing style is one where he moves in at the right time to let off combination’s and then back out, the heavy handed Maddalone figures his best shot at winning this bout is to land something big and force the champion to slow down and allow him to use a high pressure style to knock him out.

Is Maddalone excited for this bout? You bet he is, agreeing with most experts that Adamek is the more skilled and heralded fighter, this is his chance to really leave his mark on the sport. And he’ll be damned if he doesn’t go out in a brawl.

Adamek (42-1 27KO) will head into this fight doing what he does best, adapt to the style of the fighter brought against him and use his abilities to get the victory. Trainer Roger Bloodworth says it best about this contest “This fight is heart vs. heart. Two guys who are going to leave everything they have in the ring. Everyone watching this fight is in for a real treat.”

And with a win come Thursday night, Adamek is almost all but assured a shot at one of the Klitschkos.
Promoter Main Events also has lined up an undercard featuring highly touted prospect Sadam “World Kid” Ali, Patrick “The Machine” Majewski and “Marvelous” Tarvis Simms.

Ali (10-0 6KO) will try to continue to impress as he squares off against iron chinned journeyman Manuel Guzman (7-9 3KO) in an eight round welterweight contest. Guzman’s record is not impressive, but in his last bout knocked out Adrick Butler in the second round. Ali is riding a three fight knockout streak, alongside his perfect record, and will aim to maintain that.

Majewski (14-0 9KO), an undefeated Atlantic City based Pole, will also use the crowd to his favor as he faces off against knockout artist Eddie Caminero (7-3 7KO). Majewski got a late start to his pro career at the age of 26, but remains unbeaten and hopes to grab more high profile fights in the future. All of Caminero’s victories have come by way of knockout, the latest being in the fourth round, so he provides a tough challenge to Majewski, in a similar way that Maddalone will to Adamek in the main event.

Tarvis Simms (25-1 11KO) returns to action after a fourteen month layoff when he heads into the Prudential Center to fight Willis Lockett (12-10 5KO) in a six round super middleweight fight. Simms’ journey in boxing has been a roller coaster ride thus far. The 39 year old fighter also got a late start to his pro career at 26 following an excellent amateur career which saw him win the 1993 National Golden Gloves Championship, as well as earn a victory over future world champion Jermaine Taylor along the way.

Boxing politics interfered with Simms path to a world championship, which led to a lack of fights. But Simms remained undefeated until October 2009, when he dropped his first fight to title contender Allan Green by decision. However, a determined Simms returns after signing a multi-fight deal with Main Events, and even at his age, is concentrating on obtaining the goal of becoming world champion.
Other match ups on the card include Newark’s own Angel Concepcion (3-0) against Lekan Byfield, who will be making his professional debut at Light Heavyweight.

Tomorrow night, Newark New Jersey’s Prudential Center will once again transform into “Little Poland” as thousands of Polish fight fans will flock to 165 Mulberry Street to watch Tomasz Adamek square off against New York’s Vinny Maddalone.

But before the legions of Polish fans witness Adamek do battle with Maddalone, they’ll have the opportunity to cheer on another Polish-born, New Jersey-based boxer.

Welterweight prospect Patrick Majewski will look to add another win to his already perfect record when he faces off against Lawrence, Massachusetts’ Eddie “Thunder” Caminero in a bout scheduled for eight rounds.

Majewski (14-0, 9 KO) was born in Radom, Poland, but now resides in Atlantic City, New Jersey, where six of his fourteen professional bouts have taken place.

In his last bout in October, the Polish-transplant defeated New Mexico’s Joseph Gomez (17-3-1, 8 KO) by seventh round stoppage in Kissimmee, Florida.

Majewski first hurt Gomez with a devastating left hook in the fourth round. Three rounds later, Majewski hurt his counterpart again and didn’t let him off the hook. Referee Frank Gentile stepped in and saved Gomez from absorbing further punishment, stopping the bout at the 1:50 mark of round seven.

But even after an impressive performance against tough opposition, Majewski and his team knew there was plenty of room for improvement.

“I made many mistakes my last fight,” Majewski said. “So my trainers — we tried to work on the leg movement, more head movement, and of course, more speed.”

Majewski will have a chance to showcase his sharpened skills against Caminero in front of an expected crowd of over ten thousand fans.

Caminero (7-3, 7 KO), who practices his trade under the watchful eye of “Irish” Micky Ward, has proven he is a rugged competitor who can out-will and out-punch his opponents.

In his last two bouts, Caminero scored upset victories over two seperate opponents, who prior to the bouts, sported a combined record of 14-1.

Caminero’s most recent fight took place in August in Brooklyn, New York against crowd favorite, and previously unbeaten fighter, Joe Smith, Jr.

The Massachussets native served as nothing more than a moving heavy bag for Smith in the opening round, as Caminero found himself with his back against the ropes, standing on unsteady legs.

Caminero was able to gather himself and survive the round, however, and by the third round, he began a relentless campaign against Smith’s body, which visibly took its toll on the taller Smith.

With blood dribbling out his mouth and the fourth round about to come to a close, Smith signaled to his corner he could no longer continue. Earlier in the round, Smith suffered a broken jaw courtesy of the heavy-handed Caminero, who notched his second straight victory.

Majewski is well aware of Caminero’s stubbornness inside the ropes, but is confident that his preparation leading up to this fight will result in a victory tomorrow night.

“I know that he’s tough, but I’m tough too,” said Majewski. “I’ve been training hard for this fight and I’m going to bring my work into the ring.”

Tomorrow night will mark the third time Majewski will fight at the Prudential Center and the second time he will fight on the undercard of an Adamek-headlined event. He knows there will be thousands of fans decked out in Poland’s colors of red and white who will be cheering his name. He also knows he cannot let the crowd become a distraction against a heavy-handed opponent like Caminero.

“It is a big feeling [to fight in front of the Polish fans], I’m really excited to fight over there,” Majewski said. “But during the fight you really have to focus on your opponent — don’t really worry about the crowd or the fans.”

Majewski, who turns 31 later this month, knows that one loss may result in a significant setback to his career and doesn’t plan on letting Caminero play spoiler.

With regards to his approach towards his fight tomorrow night, Majewski said, “Focus on your opponent then worry about the fans. Then after the fight we can celebrate together.”

Thoughts on select fights from last week

Javier Fortuna vs. Victor Valenzuela

Last Wednesday at BB King’s in New York City, two unbeaten prospects crossed paths in a bout that was scheduled for eight rounds.

Passaic, New Jersey’s Victor “Viper” Valenzuela squared off against the Dominican Republic’s Javier Fortuna, who was making his American debut.

Before the fight, Valenzuela sported an 8-0 record, with only one of those wins coming by knockout, while Fortuna entered the bout 12-0 with 9 knockouts.

For that reason, I was confused as to why Valenzuela was willing to fight fire with fire from the opening bell. Fortuna and Valenzuela forewent any use of a jab and began trading wild power punches — an exchange that would clearly favor the heavier-handed Fortuna.

Ultimately, a minute into the first round, Fortuna KO’d Valenzuela in a Sergio Martinez-esque fashion. Valenzuela scarily collapsed and just like that Valenzuela’s “O” had to go. His record and confidence both took a hit as he fell to 8-1, 1 KO, while Fortuna shined in his American debut, improving to 13-0, 10 KOs.

Crazy part about the KO is the fact that Martinez’s trainer, Gabriel Sarmiento, is also Fortuna’s trainer. Further, like Martinez, he was discovered and brought to the United States by advisor Sampson Lewkowicz and is also signed to DiBella Entertainment.

Alex Perez vs. Doel Carrasquillo

That same night, I was also impressed by Newark, New Jersey’s Alex Perez, who
successfully navigated past tough journeyman Doel Carrasquillo in an eight round welterweight bout.

The fight marked the unbeaten Perez’s first bout since inking a deal with DiBella Entertainment.

Unlike Fortuna, Perez (13-0, 7 KO) didn’t blow his opponent out of the water. Rather, Perez was forced to outbox a veteran brawler for eight rounds — and did so with relative ease.

“I was pleased with everything that he did,” said Perez’s trainer and manager, Jose Rosario. “He finally showed me the things I wanted to see — and that was being smart and outboxing guys like the guy we fought today.”

Working behind a stiff right jab, Perez successfully kept the always-moving-forward Carasquillo at range, setting him up for combinations and devastating left hands.

By the second round, Carrasquillo’s face was already puffy, turning red in the process. Each time Perez hurt his Carrasquillo, the determined journeyman would talk taunt Perez and shrug it off as if he was unharmed (which was a lie, of course).

Perez’s only slip-up in this bout came in the fifth round when he tripped over Carrasquillo’s feet and got caught with a right hand that ultimately put him on the canvass.

“I slipped over his leg and they ruled it a knockdown,” said Perez. “It is what it is.”

Following a brief and unsuccessful appeal to referee Arthur Mercante Jr., Perez got right back up and immediately picked up where he left off, snapping his jab and throwing meaningful combinations.

Credit Carrasquillo (14-17-1, 12 KO) for his persistence as he brought non-stop pressure for twenty-four minutes. He was stubborn in his aggressiveness, constantly walking forward, getting peppered by stiff jabs and straight lefts along the way.

“I want to stiffen my jab up even more,” Perez said. “It will be key when I fight more guys like him who keep coming and keep coming.”

Carrasquillo’s pressure would make most boxer’s uncomfortable, but Perez seemed to embrace this type of fight early on — a credit to his trainer and his preparation.

“I saw Carrasquillo fight a couple times and I knew he was tough and was better than his record shows,” Rosario said. “He always fought tough fights and we knew he was dangerous so we prepared mentally and physically for him.”

Except for the flash knockdown, Perez controlled this fight from start to finish, a tribute to the 28 year-old’s maturity and versatility. Now that Perez has found a home under the DiBella Entertainment banner, there should be more regularity in his fight schedule, which is a plus for tri-state area fight fans.

Unbeaten middleweight Patrick Majewski of Atlantic City informed 15rounds that he will be take on Eddie Caminero as the co-feature to the heavyweight match up between former two division world champion Tomasz Adamek and Vinny Maddalone December 9 at the Prudential Center in Newark.

One of the most exciting up and coming fighters in New Jersey, Majewski, 14-0 (9 KO’s), is fresh off a 7th round stoppage of Joseph Gomez as part of an October 16 pay per view card in Florida. Majewski, who is of Polish descent, will be fighting at the Pru Center for the third time.

Caminero, 7-3 (3 KO’s), has won two straights against opponents with a combined 14-1 record. The Lowell, MA native most recently stopped unbeaten Joe Smith Jr. in August.

Star Boxing’s Heavyweight fan-favorite, Vinny Maddalone (33-6, 24KO’s), known for his warrior-like performances inside the ring, has began parlaying his popularity into a career outside the ring. Though still active; Maddalone scored a 5th round TKO over Dominique Alexander in his last bout back in March at the Tropicana Casino and Resort in Atlantic City, NJ; it was announced this week that he has been elected to serve on the Board of Directors to Ring 8, the Veteran Boxers Association of New York, Inc.

In addition, while he won’t be on the card at Star Boxing’s upcoming show at the Tropicana Casino and Resort in Atlantic City, Maddalone will play a major part in night’s events, serving as the host for what is shaping up to be an exciting night, featuring pre and post parties, at the ever popular Atlantic City Casino. Lastly, Maddalone recently opened a Restaurant and Bar (Ringside Bar and Grill) in his hometown of Queens, NY.

MADDALONE W/ PROMOTER JOE DEGUARDIA

“We are very proud of Vinny’s accomplishments both inside, and now outside of the ring,” stated Joe DeGuardia, CEO of Star Boxing and long-time promoter of Maddalone. “Wherever he goes, Vinny is just so well-respected, and being elected to serve on the board is a true testament to that.”

Following Maddalone’s recent win in Atlantic City, long-time promoter Joe DeGuardia came up with the idea to have Maddalone host the next event.

“Vinny’s such a draw and has so many fans out there, I knew that if I wasn’t going to have him on the card, I still wanted him to be part of the event,” explained DeGuardia. “We are working on something big for Vinny in the early fall, so we wanted to hold off on putting him on this show, but he will be there, greeting fans, and hosting both our pre and post fight parties, for what is expected to be a huge turn out.”

“It’s a real honor to be elected to the Board,” stated Maddalone. “I have been involved with Ring 8 for sometime now, but to officially be named one of their own, and to have a voice in the organization, really is something special to me. ”

Regarding his restaurant, Maddalone is optimistic about the future. “The restaurant is coming along well, I just brought in a new chef, and his food is unbelievable. I don’t want to just be the guy behind the scenes, I enjoy being there at night and greeting the customers and sitting down and talking with them one on one. It keeps me busy when I’m not in training, and it is something I can focus on when my boxing career one day comes to an end.”

The show at the Tropicana will take place on Saturday, July 17th and will feature top-rated heavyweight contender David Tua (51-3-1, 43KO’s), (WBO #2) taking on perennial contender Monte Barrett (34-9, 20KO’s).

On Saturday February 6th, heavyweight fan favorite, Vinny Maddalone (32-6, 23) will get the weekend fireworks started early when he takes on Dominique Alexander (19-7-1, 9KO) in an eight round heavyweight match-up at the Tropicana Casino and Resort in Atlantic City, NJ. The show, promoted by Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing, and broadcast live on GoFightLive.tv, is headlined by welterweight prospect, Atlantic City’s own, Shamone ‘The Truth” Alvarez (20-2, 11KO) taking on knockout artist Alexis Camacho (17-2, 16KO).
VINNY MADDALONE

The Queens native Maddalone is no stranger to the bright lights of Atlantic City, having fought there four times before, one of which was named ESPN’s 2004 Fight of the Year.

“I’m excited to be returning to A.C.,” says Maddalone. “There is a lot of fight history in this city, so it’s extra special for me anytime I have the opportunity to fight there.”

Maddalone is coming off a hard fought decision loss back in December to former two-time cruiserweight champion, Jean Marc Mormeck. The fight which took place in Mormeck’s native France, saw Maddalone press the action and take the fight head on to Mormeck from the opening bell. Mormeck as well as Maddalone , is known for being a banger, but it was evident from the first time Mormeck felt Maddalone’s power he wanted no part in the brutal exchanges and began circling and boxing from the outside.

“I was surprised when he started moving like he did,” stated Maddalone. “From the tapes I have seen of him he usually stood right there in front of you, but then again that was at cruiserweight. I could tell right away in the first round when I hit him that I could hurt him.”

In what was an exciting fight, that brought the sold out crowd to their feet multiple times throughout the contest, Maddalone went on to lose by decision. Although Maddalone lost, as was the case when he fought in Europe in 2008; he dropped another hard fought decision loss to undefeated top five rated heavyweight Denis Boytsov; he further added onto his fan base, a base that has now begun to stretch worldwide.

“I’m a throwback fighter. Anytime I am in that ring you know you are going to see an exciting fight, and the people in Europe, as do my fans here in the U.S, appreciate that. Fighting is my life, it’s what I love to do, and come February 6th you can expect nothing less out of me. As I do every time I step into that ring, I am going to leave it all on the line and give the fans something to be excited about.”

A win in Atlantic City, could set up another trip for Maddalone back to Europe. There have been talks of Maddalone fighting on the undercard of Mormeck’s next fight, and if both win, Maddalone- Mormeck II could be on the horizon.

“I would love another opportunity to face Mormeck. It was an exciting fight that the fans loved, and want to see again, but first things first, I must take care of business this Saturday.
