UNCASVILLE, Conn. (Lulju 1, 2018) – Returning to the ring after an 11-month layoff due to a broken jaw, Joe “Il-kruha” Smith, Jr. provided early fireworks last night (IS-SIBT, Ġunju 30) in the latest installment in the popular “Slugfest at The Sun” serje, presented by Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing, fi Mohegan Sun Arena fil UNCASVILLE, Connecticut.

Rated No. 3 u Nru. 7 fid-dinja, rispettivament, mill-Kunsill Boxing Dinja (WBC) and World Boxing Association (WBA), Smith (24-2, 20 Kos) hurt Melvin “The Romantic Redneck” Russell (11-5-2, 7 Kos) with the first punch he landed and finished the show, two devastating knockdowns later, fir-rawnd ftuħ.
“I hit him with a decent shot when I was walking him down and saw that I hurt him,” Joe Smith Jr. explained. “Allura, I looked to end it. I would have liked to have gotten some rust off, but I’m happy with my performance. My jaw feels great.”
“We’re looking to go to the top,” Smith’s promoter Joe DeGuardia iddikjarat. “Joe’s plan and goal has always been to be world champion. We wanted (Sergey) Kovalev before this fight, but it didn’t work out. We’re hoping to get him in the fall.”
“Kovalev looks great, he motivates me,” Smith noted. “I think I can take advantage of his conditioning.”
Coming off her historic fight this past May against the undefeated Queen of Boxing Cecelia Breakhus, who won a 10-round decision in the first female fight to air on HBO, three-time world champion Kali “KO Mequinonoag” Reis (14-7-1, 4 Kos) cruised past Mexican welterweight Patty “Las Elegante” Ramírez (11-6, 5 Kos), ex isfidant titolu dinja, winning all eight rounds.
“She was a survivor,” Reis commented. “There was a lot we wanted to work on, shots tal-ġisem, jabs and more … getting more comfortable. I executed the plan my corner gave me and got the job done.
A Native American from Rhode Island, Reis wants a rematch with Breakhus, “I know I need to stay busy, active and remain fighting at welterweight to get the rematch,” Reis added. “I’m going to stay on her tail. I’ll be ready when it happens, I really want it to happen.”
In the television opener, undefeated junior welterweight “Azzjoni” Anthony Laureano (8-0 3Tal-KO) lived up to his nickname, never taking a backwards step, as he pounded Juan Rodriguez (8-10-1 6Tal-KO) in the center of the ring from the opening bell through the end for a dominant six-round unanimous decision. Il 2016 New England Golden Gloves champion Laureano, who fights out of East Hartford, CT, put on an entertaining show in front of his large, loud contingent of fans. Laureano effectively used every punch in his vast arsenal to break down a tough, game Rodriguez.
“I thought I did well,” Laureano said after the fight, “but I’d like to see more angles. I want to see more power, wisq. It’s there, he felt it; it’s coming. I have a long road. Ġlieda Li jmiss, I’d like to have an eight-rounder. We’re adding more people to the team. I hope everyone see that I’m getting better each fight. I have more tools and my discipline is there.”
Middleweight junior undefeated Wendy “Haitian Fire” Toussaint (9-0, 3 Kos) lit up an overwhelmed Andy Gonzalez (6-3, 5 Kos), battering him from pillar to post, until referee Steve Willis waved off the fight in the third round. Haiti-native Toussaint, now living in Huntington, NY, used his superior power and speed to make an impressive statement.
Popular South Boston southpaw Joe Farina (3-0, 2 Kos) overcame a flash knockdown during the opening seconds of the fight, using a relentless attack to defeat junior welterweight Steve Moore (1-4, 1 KO), by way of a four-round split decision.
Irish junior welterweight “Lethal” Larry Fryers (formerly known as Gleeson) mtejba rekord tiegħu biex 7-1 (2 Kos) with a six-round unanimous decision over Anthony Woods (1-7-1).

Rhode Island’s Native Warrior, Kali Reis, is no stranger to bright lights and pressure. Coming off an impressive performance on HBO against undisputed champion and #1 pound-for-pound female fighter in the world, Cecilia Braekhus, Reis looks to return home, back to New England and put her full warrior spirit out on display at the Mohegan Sun.
When commenting on her upcoming fight, Reis had this to say, “Fans can expect to see an even more determined, skilled, bil-ġuħ, evolving WARRIOR in there! 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 “Azzjoni” 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 “Slugfest at the 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, azzjoni. Azzjoni, thats it. 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, I can do it too, but people like two guys who come forward and want to fight. I’m that fighter. I’m that fighter that always wants to fight.”
This bout against Rodriguez will mark the third time in his career that Laureano is fighting at Mohegan Sun.
When asked about the venue, this is what Laureano had to say, “I love Mohegan…Mohegan is my home. There is no place like it. I love the ring, everything is just so beautiful. The atmosphere, the crowd, my hometown crowd is there, and when they’re there it’s loud…Mohegan is my home, ebda dubju. The casino treats me good, and when I go there I feel this is where I belong.
