UNCASVILLE, Conn. (jUNE 25, 2018) –With June 30th rapidly approaching, the hype for STAR BOXING’S “SLUGFEST at the SUN” continues to build as two of the premier fighters on the card will be making their New England homecoming. En la pelea co-estelar, KALI “KO MEQUINONOAG” REIS (13-7-1 4Nocáuts) de la Providencia, Rhode Island hará su tercera aparición en Mohegan Sun contra QUINTO “LA ELEGANTE” RAMIREZ (11-5 5Nocáuts). Añadiendo emoción, Connecticut propio “ACCIÓN” ANTHONY LAUREANO (7-0 3Nocáuts) de East Hartford está listo para regresar a casa en Mohegan Sun en su pelea contra JUAN de la CRUZ RODRIGUEZ (8-9-1 6Nocáuts).
Guerrero nativo de Rhode Island, Kali Reis, no es ajeno a las luces brillantes y la presión. Después de una actuación impresionante en HBO contra el campeón indiscutible y #1 libra por libra luchadora en el mundo, Cecilia Braekhus, Reis busca volver a casa, volver a Nueva Inglaterra y exhibir todo su espíritu guerrero en el Mohegan Sun.
Al comentar sobre su próxima pelea, Reis tenía esto que decir, “Los fanáticos pueden esperar ver un aún más decidido, experto, hambriento, GUERRERO evolucionando allí! The fight on HBO with Braekhus was such a learning experience and I am grateful for making history in not only women’s boxing but my own personal journey as well.”
The last time Reis fought at Mohegan Sun was in November of last year. She is thrilled to be making this homecoming.
“I am excited to be back ‘home’ at Mohegan Sun June 30th,” said the Rhode Island native. “Star Boxing always has action packed fights lighting up this beautiful area. My fans love coming to Mohegan Sun. There isn’t a bad seat in the house and their hospitality is fantastic. Joe DeGuardia is keeping me very productive since we signed with him back in November. I am so pleased with the decision myself and manager Brian made to sign with them.”
Another local warrior on the card to watch is Anthony Laureano. Laureano earned the nickname “Acción” for his relentless, coming-forward fight style. If the East Hartford native is in the ring, fans can always expect an exciting show from start to finish. Star Boxing’s “Pelea en el Sun” always brings fireworks to Connecticut, and Laureano looks to continue the tradition with his homecoming at Mohegan Sun.
Laureano was asked what he will provide the fans at Mohegan Sun, and his response was simply, “The same thing they always see, acción. Acción, Eso es. The people are coming to pay money and they are going to get what they paid for. Even in my last fight, people got what they paid for. They came to see action and to see somebody come forward. They don’t want to see nobody dancing around. I’m not saying that style is bad, puedo hacerlo tambien, pero a la gente le gustan dos tipos que se adelantan y quieren pelear. Yo soy ese luchador. Soy ese peleador que siempre quiere pelear.”
Esta pelea contra Rodríguez marcará la tercera vez en su carrera que Laureano pelea en Mohegan Sun.
Cuando se le preguntó sobre el lugar, esto es lo que tenia que decir Laureano, “Me encanta mohegan…Mohegan es mi hogar. No hay lugar como este. Me encanta el anillo, todo es tan hermoso. La atmósfera, la multitud, la gente de mi ciudad natal está ahí, y cuando están ahí es fuerte…Mohegan es mi hogar, no hay duda. El casino me trata bien, y cuando voy allí siento que aquí es donde pertenezco. Nunca he sentido eso en ningún otro lugar.
En el evento principal de “SLUGFEST at the SUN” el 30 de junio, Joe Smith JR. hará su tan esperado regreso al ring contra el duro Kentuckian, MELVIN RUSSELL.
