馬山, CT (六月 4, 2017) – The amazing comeback of 馬特 “Sharp Shooter” Remillard continued last night as the popular Connecticut lightweight stopped Fatiou Fassinou 在 百老匯拳擊 headliner held in Fox Theater, at Foxwoods Resort Casino, in Mashantucket, CT.
該 百老匯拳擊 series is promoted by DiBella Entertainment and presented by Nissan of Queens, Azad Watches, OPTYX, and Christos Steak House.
Remillard, 30, was the No. 2-ranked featherweight in the world in 2011, when he lost to future world champion 米奇·加西亞 (LRTD11). Fighting out of Manchester, CT, tonight’s fight was Remillard’s first in his home state in six-and-a-half years, due to him serving a five-year prison sentence. He returned to the ring this past April, taking an eight-round decision from Agustine Mauras, 在伍斯特, 嘛.
在首輪比賽中, Remillard (25-1, 14 科斯) and the slick Benin-native, former WBC International Silver champion Fassinou (27-6-3, 14 科斯) got to know each other as both fighters were cautious. Remillard opened up in the second round, using his left to the body, dropping Fassinou in his corner during the final seconds. Remillard pressed the action in the third, peppering Fassinou around the ring in his familiar punishing style, putting Fassinou in his “Sharp Shooter” sights for target practice in the fourth. Fassinou failed to answer the bell for the fifth round.
“Against a southpaw, the left hook to the liver is there, a punch I’m known for,” Remillard commented after the fight. “He was a little sloppier than I expected. 我感覺很好; 我 24/7 在健身房裡. Maybe I’ll have one more fight this year to get in some rounds, and then get ready for a big 2018. I want a rematch with Garcia, 在 135 或 140 英鎊, 100-百分. He owes me a rematch. The guy he beat wasn’t me.”
 Ruslan Shamalov (L) & George Arias turned in the Fight of the Night
在共同特徵, two New York City-based heavyweights, 6’5″ 俄語 Ruslan Shamalov (4-1, 3 科斯) and Dominican “Gentleman” George Arias (7-0, 3 科斯), fighting out of Brooklyn and the Bronx, 分別, put their undefeated records on the line. Shamalov’s power punches rocked the much shorter 5’11” Arias in the first round, but Arias stayed off the ropes and boxed much better in the second. The two fighters exchanged bombs throughout a terrific third round and, somehow, the fourth was even better with back-and-forth, non-stop action. The pace subsided slightly in the fifth round, setting the stage for a bombs-away sixth and final frame that didn’t disappoint.
Shamalov and Arias fought a furious pace, especially for heavyweights, in a legitimate six-round “年度撲滅” 候選人. Arias, the leader of Team Wash Em’ Up in the Bronx, won a six-round unanimous decision by scores of 60-54, 59-55, 和 58-56.
“This win was humungous for me,” said an overjoyed Arias, after his first six-round fight. “I had a game plan, but once he hurt me in the first round, my heart took over and I just fought. I like to fight for the people, so I held on in the first instead of taking a knee.”
 Mykquan威廉姆斯 (ř) celebrated his high school graduation a little early
Crowd favorite “奇妙” Mykquan威廉姆斯 (7-0, 4 科斯) gave himself an early high school graduation present as the East Hartford fighter defeated Nicaraguan welterweight Ariel “La Guerra” 瓦斯奎茲 (13-18-2, 9 科斯) in the former’s first six-round bout.

 Radzhab Butaev left Abraham Alvarez on the mat in serious pain
Unbeaten Russian middleweight prospect Radzhab “The Python” Butaev (6-0, 4 科斯) was too much for Mexican 亞伯拉罕 “The Swift” 阿爾瓦雷斯 (20-11-1, 11 科斯). Butaev dropped Alvarez early with a vicious left hook, from which Alvarez never fully recovered. A brutal right to the liver put the Mexican on mat once again, in obvious pain, as referee Joey Lupino immediately waved off the fight at 1:05 圓一個.
Cuban cruiserweight 路易斯 “El Leon” 加西亞 (15-0, 12 科斯) kept his perfect pro record intact with a first-round knockout of his outclassed Mexican opponent 費利佩·羅梅羅 (19-14-1, 13 科斯), 從聖地亞哥戰鬥.
