“It’s been long overdue that Granite Chin did an event on the North Shore,” promoterChris Traiettimiingon. “Oceanside Events Center is a beautiful venue, and they have been a pleasure to work with. This event will be an incredible night of fights with a new WBC Silver U.S. Champion crowned. Sa ibabaw sa nga, we will be raising money for the Quincy Firefighters Cancer Foundation, which as a member of the Quincy Fire Department, hits home for me. The foundation does amazing work and provides critical support for our fellow firefighters at a time of need.”

Perkins and Andreozzi are throwback fighters who could fight in a proverbial phone booth, providing non-stop action in an entertaining, competitive encounter for a regional title.

Andreozzi, sa Swansea (MA), who is a former Massachusetts Middleweight Champion, has overcome a serious injury to become a title challenger. He broke his lower leg that resulted in 2 major surgeries that kept him sidelined for a full year. Andreozzi is back, hungry and ready for Perkins.

“Sometimes, ingon sa usa ka promoter, you must get creative selling a fight, but this isn’t one of those,” Traietti added. “This fight sells itself. James and Tony are two guys who refuse to take a step backwards, for better or worse, coming forward and bringing non-stop pressure.

He will be in a 4-round match vs.Aldimar Silva (22-28, 14 KOs), sa Brazil.

Traietti concluded, “On top of a great main event, SHEA WILLCOX IS COMING HOME! Getting Shea a fight in his home area was paramount this year. We plan to make it a recurring theme. He is a terrific talent with a loyal fan base that traveled twice to Bridgewater to support him. Now he is coming to the North Shore where he belongs, and the sky’s the limit.”

Additional matchups will soon be announced.

KWARTA, Misa. (Hulyo 12, 2023) – Undefeated super middleweight prospect Steve “The Savage” Sumpter (8-0, 7 KOs) has never turned down a fight. Neither has his next opponent, James "Pitbull" Perkins (12-0-1, 9 KOs), and that’s why the two undefeated fighters will throw-down August 19th.

Sumpter vs. Perkins headlines “Pandemonium at The Palladium”, gipresentar sa mga Promosi nga Granite Chin (GCP), in an eight-round showdown for the vacant International Boxing Association IBA) Americas Super Middleweight Championship..

“Pandemonium at The Palladium” will be streamed live onwww.bxngtv.com from the famed Palladium in Worcester, Massachusetts.

“This fight is one of the best main events Massachusetts has seen this year,” GCP president Chris Traietti commented. “What more can you ask for? Two undefeated guys with knockout power going for it all for a chance to elevate their careers to the next level. The spectators better take their bathroom and concession breaks before this one starts. It could end at any moment!"

More than a belt is at stake, more like Bay State (MA) bragging rights for the winner of this potentially “lights-out” fight between these Western (Sumpter, Pittsfield) and Eastern (Perkins, Lynn) Misa. rival fighters.

Sumpter, 29, leaped at the opportunity to fight another undefeated fighter because of the upside for his career that an impressive victory will make within New England boxing circles.

“’ll be better known after this fight,” Sumpter said. “I don’t care about my opponent’s record or anything else. This is the type of fight that will establish me as one of the better boxers around. This fight will open up a lot of doors for me, when I come out on top. More people will start taking notice of me and I’ll be getting calls for bigger fights.

“We are both explosive fighters. I don’t think he’s going the full distance. It’ll come down to skills. I’ve seen some things from him I’ll exploit. Nobody studies me better than me. I’m sure he has watched me, too.”

Pittsfield is 100 miles to the west of Worcester, but Sumpter, who is the reigning Massachusetts Light Heavyweight Champion, is confident his fans will travel in force.

“I’ll feel good traveling,” Sumpter added. “This will be the second card I’ve headlined. I have a solid fan-base and it’s growing with each win. Ug, sama sa akong giingon, he’s not going the distance.”

Sa co-bahin nga panghitabo, undefeated Massachusetts Welterweight Champion Denzel “Double Impact” Whitley (11-0, 6 KOs) takes Hector “El Gatito” Ednar Bobadilla (9-14-1, 4 KOs) in an eight-round bout for the vacant United States Boxing Federation (USBF) Atlantic welterweight title.

Other fighters expected to be in action on the “Pandemonium at The Palladium” undercard include another Holyoke boxer, super welterweight Carlos Castillo (7-0, 4 KOs), unbeaten Springfield super featherweight Isaiah “Baby Warrior” Cruz (6-0, 4 KOs), and New Haven (CT) featherweight Felix Parrilla (7-0, 6 KOs).

Undefeated Irish Light Heavyweight Prospects Tommy “The Governor” Hyde & Thomas “The Kid” O’Toole Fighting again in adopted home – “Veterans Stadium Showcase” Outdoors on August 11th in Quincy, MA

Leave sa usa ka comment

KWARTA, Misa. (Hulyo 10, 2023) – Like some of his fellow countrymen in the past, undefeated Irish light heavyweight prospects Tommy Hyde (5-0, 3 KOs) and Thomas “The Kid” O’Toole (7-0, 5 KOs) have traveled across “the pond” from their native Ireland to Boston in order to enhance their professional boxing careers.

They will both be fighting on the August 11th (Aug. 12th rain date) on the “Veterans Stadium Showcase” Pro-Am card, gipresentar sa mga Promosi nga Granite Chin (GCP), at Veterans Memorial Stadium on Quincy (MA), a suburb of Boston only 10 miles to the south of the Massachusetts capital.  

“This card wouldn’t be complete without some Irish flair to it,” GCP president Chris Traietti said. "Uban niana nga miingon, I didn’t want just any Irish fighters on the show. I wanted two of the hottest prospects. Working with both guys has been a pleasure. Their teams have been great. Their fan-bases are in for a treat come August 11th."

They’ve built solid fanbases of Irish natives who now live in the United States, as well as Irish American boxing fans, just like their predecessors from the Emerald Isle, world champion Steve Collins and Mike Tyson-conqueror Kevin McBride.

Although Hyde and O’Toole will be fighting in separate six-round bouts this could be a prelude to a showdown between the Irish light heavyweights. They fought twice as amateurs with each winning one and in the future, they could be matched against each other once again, only this time as professionals.

The 24-year-old Hyde is a three-time Irish National Champion who had an 80-26 amateur nga rekord. Ang iyang amahan, Gary Hyde, is an international matchmaker who has represented numerous world champions.

“I am delighted to be fighting in Boston again,” Hyde said. “It’s like a second home now. I have a lot of family and friends living there and they all show me great support when I’m fighting there. It’s a big boxing city and it’s great to be following in the footsteps of Steve Collins and Kevin McBride who I really admire.

“I fought all over the world as an amateur in 2019. I fought outdoors in a multi-national tournament in Odessa, Ukraine. It was a really good experience, so I’m really looking forward to fighting outdoors in a Boston stadium.

“This will be the second show we shared since we’ve been pros and it probably won’t be the last. A fight between us could be big down the line in Boston or Ireland. He’s an Irishman like me, so I’ll be supporting him until we fight just like any other Irish boxer.”

Hyde faces an opponent to be determined.

O'Toole.jpg

Thomas O’Toole (R) - (photo credit: Emily Harney / Fightography

O’Toole, 25, is another celebrated Irish amateur boxer who captured top honors in the Haringey Box Cup and Irish Elevate final, in which he decisioned Hyde. “The Kid” won 51 sa 60 amateur matches. Ten Years ago, O’Toole fought outdoors for the first and only time in an amateur show at Boston City Hall, arranged by then- Boston Mayor Marty Walsh.

A southpaw, O’Toole lives in nearby Braintree (MA). Six of his seven pro matches have been held in Greater Boston, the lone exception in Manchester, New Hampshire. “The Kid” is moving up one division to fight Massachusetts cruiserweight champion Scott “Scottie Bombs” Lampert (5-8, 4 KOs) for the vacant United States Boxing Federation (USBF) cruiserweight crown.

“Fighting outdoors does make a difference,” O’Toole commented, “especially if it’s hot and humid. I couldn’t prepare for fighting outdoors here in the summer if I was training in Ireland. We don’t have hot and humid weather there. I’ve been training here in this weather. It’s amazing how the weather can zap your strength. It did have an effect on me when I fought in Boston outdoors as an amateur.

“Tommy and I have gone our separate ways as pros, but our paths may grow down the line. We haven’t seen much of each other when we fought on the same card here. He is coming on very well in the pro ranks. He has a good man behind him in his father, Gary, and I think Tommy can go far. He’s said that a fight between us can easily be made if it makes sense. Uyon ko. We both have big fan bases. This is going to be an amazing, fun night.”

Irish eyes will certainly be smilin’ Aug. 11th in Quincy.

In the eight-round, main event, former New England Welterweight Champion Mike “Bad Man, Ohan, Jr. (18-2, 9 KOs), of Holbrook, and Haverhill’s Harry “The Hitman” Gigliotti (9-4, 3 KOs), reigning ABF Atlantic super lightweight title holder, will throw-down in a non-title fight.

United States Boxing Federation (USBF) Champion Julien “Black Dragon” Baptiste (5-3, 2 KOs), sa Woburn, and Massachusetts titleholder Jamer Jones (3-1, 3 KOs), of Pittsfield, are in a middleweight unification bout for their titles in the eight-round co-featured event.

Gigliotti’s stablemates, undefeated Lowell lightweight Gabriel “The Menace” Morales (7-0, 4 KOs) and unbeaten Methuen middleweight Luke “The Quiet Storm” Iannuccilli (6-0, 3 KOs) usab sa aksyon, sa tinagsa, versus Nathan Benichou (2-16-1, 2 KOs) and Ryan Thomas Clark (2-4, 1 KO).

Also fighting on the undercard is undefeated middleweight prospect Francis “Frank The Tank” Hogan (14-0, 13 KOs), of nearby Weymouth (MA), mahimong sa aksyon, as well as Scituate heavyweight Kevin Nagle (2-0, 2 KOs), vs. TBAs.

Atlanta middleweight Antonio Todd, Jr. Riding high after upsetting WBC No. 10 rated Hugo Centeno

Leave sa usa ka comment
ANTONIO TODD PHOTO 2.jpg
KWARTA, Misa. (Enero 26, 2022) – Last Saturday night in Detroit, Atlanta middleweight Antonio Todd, Jr. registered his career-defining victory, upsetting World Boxing Council (WBC) Buhata Dili. 10-rated Hugo “The Boss” Centeno, Jr. by way of a 10-round majority decision in the main event.

The 27-year-old Todd, fighting out of Atlanta, won on two of the three judges’ scorecards, 97-93 ug 96-94, as the other had it a 95-95 sa pagkalos. More impressive was Todd defeating a fighter who is under contract to the event promoter, Dmitriy Salita.

“It was the biggest win of my career, sa ingon sa halayo,” Todd said. “It means a lot for my career in terms of taking me to the next level. I feel that I won the fight by unanimous decision and, if he hadn’t started moving around, I could have stopped him. But this is boxing, you need to take chances to be great.

“I want to fight anybody, anybody in the 160-pound division, fighting bigger names on television. I’m ready now! I think real fighters or those confident in their skills will be the guys who step up. We do have a couple names in mind.”

Todd is promoted by rising New England-based Granite Chin Promotions, owned, and operated by Chris Traietti.

“The way Antonio handled himself throughout the whole process leading up to the Centano fight is a testament to his character and drive,” Traietti commented. “At first, the fight was on, then off, then back on again. Unya, Centeno was over the weight limit. Despite all of this, Antonio and his trainer, Lionel Harris, just stayed focused on the fighting part of all this, leaving the behind-the-scenes stuff to me, and he delivered a career-defining performance. Kay 10 rounds he brought pressure, used his world-class jab, and pulled off a beautiful complete win.”
Todd concluded, “I love being promoted by Chris. It’s great being part of his Granite Chin team and him being part of my team.”

Granite Chin Promotions returns to Massachusetts Nelson Perez vs. Tyrone Luckey to headline “Showcase” Feb. 26th at Sheraton Hotel in Framingham, MA

Leave sa usa ka comment

KWARTA, Misa. (Enero 3, 2022) – Granite Chin Promotions has announced its first event of 2022, “Showcase,” scheduled on Saturday night, Pebrero 26th, at Sheraton Hotel in Framingham, Massachusetts.

“Showcase” will mark Granite Chin’s first event in Massachusetts in more than 2 ka tuig, as well as being only the second professional boxing show ever in Framingham, which is located 23 miles west of Boston.

“I am excited to be coming back to Massachusetts,” Granite Chin president Chris Traietti said. “Between changes occurring with the commission, then COVID, I just felt like it was a good time to step away for a bit, head up to New Hampshire and let things sort of settle in Massachusetts. Now that things are sort of back to normal, I feel like the time is right to bring our great club-show boxing back to Massachusetts. This card is going to be highly competitive from top to bottom. I have the roster now where I can both develop fighters and put on high quality local shows. 2020 was about making good relationships with other promoters and matchmakers; 2021 about developing a quality roster and keeping guys busy during a pandemic. 2022 is going to be geared towards becoming the face of quality local boxing shows and getting Granite Chin fighters on high-level, world-class cards all across the country.”

The 8-round main event will pit local favorite Nelson “Chino” Perez (5-0, 2 KOs) against New Jersey veteran super lightweight Tyrone “Hands of Stone” Luckey (15-16-4, 11 KOs).

Perez will be fighting in his first scheduled 8-round bout.

Luckey, fighting out of Manahawkin, NJ, is the reigning ABF USA Mid-American Super Lightweight Champion. The dangerous Luckey has been a gatekeeper of lightweight up to welterweight divisions having fought top prospects such as Mike Ohan, Jr. Jamaine Ortiz, Tyler Tomlin, and Frank Martin. Luckey has recent back-to-back victories against previously unbeaten Eduardo Aquilar.

Hot welterweight prospect Denzel “Double Impact” Whitley (7-0, 5 KOs), of Holyoke (MA), faces Alfred “Keenan” Raymond (1-0) in the 6-round co-featured event.

Galloway’s Tyrone Luckey is a throwback fighter, boxing career resurrected

Leave sa usa ka comment
Tyrone Luckey.jpg
KWARTA, Misa. (Oktubre 27, 2022) – In short two years, after signing a contract with Granite Chin Promotions, veteran New Jersey boxer Tyrone “Hands of Stone” Luckey has gone from journeyman to legitimate opponent with a promising upside.

“Guys like Tyrone have a special spot for me,” Granite Chin Promotions president Chris Traietti commented. “I’ve helped to build up his record, developed trust between us, and we’ll see where we go from here. He’s a big Dallas Cowboy fan and he really wanted to fight in AT & T Arena. He dreamed of fighting there and I got him on the Spence-Garcia card, and he got the biggest purse of his life.”

“He is a fighter’s fighter. Any promoter would be very happy to have 25 like him in their stable. His goal now is to make as much as he can over the next few years and get out with his health. He continues to trust me. He wants to be part of the team and I just signed him to a new 3-year deal. Tyrone has had a bit of a rebirth in his career.”

The former New Jersey Golden Gloves Champion had a 9-12-4 pro record, when he joined the Granite Chin stable, and since then Luckey has won six of nine fights, capturing the ABF USA Mid-American super lightweight title along the way.

“I had no choice but to get better,” Lucky spoke about his resurgence the past two years. “It first changed when I started going to Gladiator’s Gym for help with trainer Shawn Darling. My career in boxing changed since the pandemic started.

The 36-year-old Luckey (15-15-4, 11 KOs), fighting out of Galloway (NJ), is a throwback fighter back to the days boxers only asked when and where they were fighting, no pickin’ and choosin’ soft touches. Evidence of his admirable attitude is the fact he’s fought in six different weight classes, from super featherweight to super welterweight, during his 11-year-pro career.

“I’m not afraid of anyone,” Luckey said. “I fight guys others avoid, even some that world champions wouldn’t fight. I’m able to fight in different weight classes because I know my body and how to properly get done in weight. Karon, I feel comfortable at 140 libra, and I feel like I have a ton of power at 130 o 135 libra. I’m naturally small, but psychologically, I’m always the bigger fighter no matter what position I find myself in.”

Luckey’s stock jumped in his last two fights, both against previously unbeaten Eduardo Aguilar, who was knocked out, sa tinagsa, in the first round and he couldn’t continue past the sixth round in their most recent fight, in which Luckey dropped Aguilar seven times.

A married man who is an endoscopy technician, Luckey has been saving his boxing purses to eventually buy a house.

“I plan to box until I’m 39, maximum of 40,” Luckey remarked. “I’ll call it quits and maybe become a trainer or pro bowler. I’m trying to get into a sanctioned league (he averages 215 and rolled a perfect 300 game in 2017)."

Luckey and Traietti, also a pro boxer, have a mutually beneficial relationship today. “Our relationship has always been great,” Tyrone confirmed. “I had a fight fallout and the matchmaker set me up with Chris, who was working a fight in Minnesota. He said that after the fight we could talk. He’s a good dude, great promoter. I’m glad our paths crossed because he’s put me in a new situation. I put my faith in him. It’s always love when we talk.”

“We hit it off right away,” Traietti concluded. “He’s easy to work with and will fight anybody. Sa iyang credit, he signed with me when it wasn’t really popular, not until 8 sa 10 months later. Granite Chin has blown up and my some of my fighters have been performing on some of the biggest cards in boxing.”

Do you feel lucky? Tyrone Luckey certainly does and he’s finally cashing in on all his hard work and perseverance, fighting under the Granite Chin banner.

Leave sa usa ka comment
KWARTA, Misa. (Hunyo 1, 2021) - Ang punoan nga kalihokan sa Hunyo 26th Kard nga "Breakout", gipresentar sa mga Promosi nga Granite Chin, motakdo sa duha ka mga heavyweight sa New England nga padulong sa atbang nga direksyon, Steve "The Gentle Giant ”Vukosa (13-1, 5 KOs) ug "Lupad" Mike Marshall (5-1, 4 KOs).

Ang kard sa gabii sa laing Granite Chin adlaw-gabii nga doblehon (bulag nga pagdawat) giulo sa 10-round main event alang sa bakanteng NABA United States Heavyweight Championship tali sa Vukosa (13-1, 5 KOs) kinsa mahimong makig-away alang sa katapusang oras - modaog, mawad-an sa o sa pagkalos — ug naghari sa New England heavyweight champion Marshall.

Vukosa, nakig-away sa gawas Quincy, MA, usa ka kanhing WBC U.S. Mabug-at nga Champion, nga iyang nakuha sa 2019 sa diha nga siya nagdaog sa usa ka 8-round unanimous decision batok Joe Cusumano (18-2, 16 KOs). Sulod sa iyang 20 ka tuig nga karera sa boksing, Ang nakuha ni Vukosa nga daghang kasinatian nga sparring sa bantog nga Wild Card Boxing gym sa Los Angeles isip kauban sa sparring alang sa mga world champion Santiago Toney, Evander Holyfield ug Wladimir Klitschko. Nagmaneho usab siya usa ka bus kaniadto 15 mga tuig alang sa Mass Bay Transportation Authority, sugod sa 4 sa gabii. ug paghuman sa palibot 2 sa buntag, pagkahuman niini siya nagdagan. Apan siya karon 44 kauban ang usa ka asawa ug tulo ka mga anak ug ang iyang orasan sa boksing nagtitik.

"Nag-away pa ko tungod kay gihigugma ko kini,”Gipasabot ni Vukosa. "Lisud ang paglakaw gikan sa usa ka butang nga maayo ka. Kini nga away ug mahimo kini ang katapusan. Malipayon ang akong asawa. Ang akong lawas nagsugod sa pagkahugno: mga kamot, likod ug tuhod. Gipatay nila ako. Dali ug dali ko kaniadto, karon hinay na ko. Gusto lang nako nga adunay maayong away, kadaugan, o mapilde, pero gusto nako magdaog. Nalingaw kaayo ako sa mga adlaw sa Wild Card, kana nga mga sesyon sa sparring sama sa tinuud nga away, ug ang akong mga amateur nga adlaw kauban ang trainer Jimmy Farrell.

“Nakita ko ang akong kaatbang sa pagdaog niya sa titulo sa New England, Nakadayeg ko. (promoter)Chris (Traietti) nanawag nga nangutana kung awayon ko siya, Gidawat nako tungod kay gusto ko nga away ug maayong hagit. Naghinamhinam ako sa away. "

Ang 36-anyos nga Marshall, nakig-away gikan sa Danbury, CT, nagdaog sa katapusan niyang duha ka away, pareho sa Granite Chin nga gipakita sa parehas nga venue sama sa iyang umaabot nga duwa sa Vukosa, lakip ang iyang N.E. nakakuha og titulo nga nahimo sa miaging Nobyembre kontra Justin "Crazy Train" Rolfe. Si Marshall wala motan-aw sa iyang kaatbang nga labaw sa bungtud tungod sa karaan nga edad ni Vukosa, apan nagplano siya nga mohimo usa ka pahayag nga, unta, makahatag kaniya positibo nga pagkaladlad sa gawas sa New England.

"Nahibal-an nako nga siya usa ka beterano nga pugilist, usa ka estudyante sa tigbansay sa Hall of Fame Freddie Roach, kinsa usa ka makalilisang nga manggugubat sa iyang kaugalingon nga katungod,”Ingon ni Marshall. “Kini ang boksing, bisan unsa nga butang mahitabo. Ang akong trabaho mao ang pagpangandam alang sa bisan unsa. Adunay ako labing kaayo nga kalidad nga sparring sa balay sa No.. 1 amateur nga gibug-aton, Fernely Felix, Jr. Ang akong team nagtrabaho og maayo, Akong pasungan, A.J. Galante, gihangyo ako nga mahimong mas hait sa akong katapusan nga away (3-tuyok KO sa Tracey Johnson kaniadtong miaging Abril), busa gibuhat ko ang gisugo niya kanako. Ang akong kanto Austin Ampeoquio gipadayon ako nga mahait sa mga mitts, ug akong mga coach sa ulo David McDonough ug Bennie 'The Jet' Gamay pagbuhat usa ka maayong trabaho nga giduso usab ako.

"Nahibal-an ko nga si Steve mianhi aron makig-away ug gipaabut ko ang usa ka kulbahinam nga gabii sa boksing. Duha kami ka manggugubat nga mag-to-toe sa ring, pagbutang usa ka pasundayag alang sa mga fan sa boksing nga nalipay gyud sa isport sa boksing, dili kining basura sa mga bantog nga tawo sa YouTube nga nagpadayon karon. "

“Nakasugat si Steve sa dili maayong swerte pagkahuman sa Cusumano nga nagdaog,”Ang presidente sa Granite Chin nga si Chris Traietti mikomentaryo. “Pipila ka away ang nahulog, pagkahuman miigo ang pandemya sa COVID-19. Sa tinuud nga kami adunay away sa Alemanya nga nahulog sa adlaw nga gitakda kami nga mobiya sa airport. Pagkahuman niadto nawad-an kami daghang mga singaw gikan sa Cusamano nga away ug ang klase kinahanglan nga ipasabut usab. Nakuha niya ang usa ka tune-up fight pipila ka bulan ang milabay, apan kinahanglan usab naton mabawi ang pila ka kusog pinaagi sa pagdaog sa usa ka away nga sama niini o sa katapusan pasakay na si Steve sa pagsalop sa adlaw. Kini nga away kauban si Marshall dili mahimong piknik. Nahiabut siya sa lokal nga talan-awon uban ang pipila nga mga katingalahang pasundayag.

"Sama sa kadaghanan nga moadto sa away, Wala ako ideya kung giunsa kini pag-away, nga naghimo alang sa usa ka maayo nga punoan nga kalihokan. Usa ka butang ang isulti ko, bisan pa kung unsa ang gusto ni Steve nga ipatuo sa mga tawo, sa hitabo nadaog niya kini nga away, dili kini ang iyang katapusan nga away. Dili hinungdan nga kana! Kung modaug si Marshall, Wala’y pagduhaduha nga makigsangka siya sa telebisyon sa labing madali nga panahon sa usa ka punoan nga network. ”

“Crossroads: doubleheader results from N.H.: Kendrick Ball, Jr. hits home run vs. Bryan Vera

Leave sa usa ka comment

“Crossroads” results from New Hampshire

DERRY, N.H. (Abril 18, 2021) -Former New England middleweight championKendrick “Peppa” Ball, Jr. turned in a career-best performance in last night’s main event against dangerousBryan “The Warrior” Vera on the evening portion of the “Crossroads” day-night doubleheader, gipresentar sa mga Promosi nga Granite Chin, at New England Sports Center in Derry, New Hampshire.

The pre-fight plan was followed as Ball (16-1-2, 11 KOs) boxed and moved, while Vera (28-17, 18 KOs) applied pressure, right from the opening bell. Ball took control in the second round, when he stayed in the pocket, snapping off crisp combinations. Ball fired more effective combinations in the third round as Vera started chasing his opponent. Ball started moving around the ring and fighting from the outside in the fourth and stayed on his toes the remainder of the fight.

Ball won an 8-round unanimous decision (79-73, 79-73, 78-74) to become the World Boxing Council (WBC) USNBC (United States) Silver Super Middleweight Champion.

“This was my best fight, because of who I fought, and the magnitude of the fight,” Ball commented. “The plan was to box and move because he was much smaller and slower. At times I banged, when I knew he wasn’t hurting me, but I shouldn’t have taken the risks.”

The 39-year-old Vera isn’t the same fighter he was when he beat three different world champions –Andy Lee, Sergio Mora (kaduha) ugSerhiy Dzinziruk.  The Texan needs to decide if it’s time to finally hang up his gloves.

“This was awesome, definitely our best show to date,” Granite Chin’sChris Traietti declared after the show. “We feel great about stepping up to give these fighters, especially the locals, a platform to perform on in front of fans. I think a lot of promoters have gotten lazy. They gave us a lane and Granite Chin took advantage. This was our fourth show with fans during the last year. Brian fought hard and he’s a great guy, but he’s not the same guy he was in 2011. He needs to think about what he’s going to do.

“Granite Chin returns here June 26th with another doubleheader. The afternoon show will be the Granite Chin Invitational for open elite boxers. With the New England Golden Gloves canceled again there is a void to fill. If promoters are going to help amateurs, I certainly will, starting June 26th."

ChallengerMarquis Bates (8-4, 6 KOs) dethroned defending New Hampshire Welterweight ChampionRyan Dibartolomeo (3-2-1, 1 KO) via a sixth-round stoppage in an entertaining co-feature. A devastating overhand right from Bates gave him his new crown as the referee didn’t even count as the ring doctor quickly entered the ring.

Larry “Hitman” Pryor took the contract out onScott Lambert and he wasted little time taking care of business to become the New Hampshire Cruiserweight Champion. Pryor took advantage of his decisive height and reach advantages, closing the show with a perfectly thrown left hook that sent Lambert to the canvas. Lambert managed to beat the count, but the referee stopped the fight midway through the opening round when he saw Lambert wobbling back and forth on rubbery legs.

Lanky lefthandedFrancis “The Tank” Hogan (5-0, 5 KOs) graduated last night with a brilliant performance againstLarry "Slo Mo" Smith, who was in his 60th career fight. Hogan put down Smith early in the third round and caught the Texan late in the same round with a lefty-combination to the temple. Smith beat the count, but he was unable to answer the bell for the fourth round, and 20-year-old Hogan became the new New Hampshire Junior Middleweight Champion.

Former New England heavyweight championJustin "Crazy Train" Rolfe (5-2-1, 4 KOs) positioned himself for another N.E. title shot with a spectacular knockout ofAlfredo “Choncho” Trevino (9-9-1, 1 KO). The 263-pound Rolfe, fighting out of Fairfield, Maine, charged across the ring at the bell and put his Arizona opponent to sleep right in his corner, when he was counted out at the 20-seconds mark.

The newest member of the fightin’ Whitley family from western Massachusetts, undefeated welterweightDenzel Whitley, cruised to his fourth victory with his fourth knockout. He drilledAquilandro Brandao late in round one and the fight was stopped by the referee.

UndefeatedJahye Brown (9-0, 7 KOs) captured the vacant ABF Athletic junior middleweight title with a hard fought 8-round unanimous decision over a game Mexican opponent,Dormedes Potes (12-4-1, 9 KOs).  The two fought toe-to-toe from the opening bell and Brown landed the more effective punches inside to earn the victory.

Promising middleweight prospectJulien "Itom nga Dragon" Baptiste milambo ngadto sa 2-0 with his second knockout, blasting outBruno Dias in the third round.

Fighting for the first time in more than eight years, Pagkahulog sa Suba, MA welterweightDustin Reinhold (6-4, 2 KOs) won a 4-round unanimous decision over pro-debutingAnthonyAndreozziin what can best be called a rough and tumble match. 

Junior middleweightCarlos Castillo’s professional debut was a gem as the Holyoke, MA fighter droppedTheo Desjardon kaduha, the last closing the show late in the first round.

“Cannon” Berry stops Ibarra in 5

UBO All-America Welterweight ChampionBrandon “The Cannon” Berry (21-5-2, 13 KOs) successfully defended in the afternoon card’s main event, overcoming a slow start in which he was buzzed to stop challengerGael Ibarra (5-3, 4 KOs) in the fifth round.

Berry finished the fight in the fifth, when he unloaded twin barrages of unanswered punches on a trapped Ibarra until the referee waved off the fight.

“I’m glad it wasn’t a 4-round fight,” Berry said after the fight. “He was a strong guy. I was feeling it. He tested me. I want to thank my family and friends here, and Granite Chin and everybody involved in the promotion.”

Sa co-bahin nga panghitabo, New England heavyweight championMike “Fly” Marshall (4-1, 3 KOs), in a non-title fight, nanuktok saTracey Johnson (4-10-6) in the third round.

Popular Boston IrishmanJimmy Torney (3-0, 3 KOs) – 6’ 6”, 269 lbs. – needed only 42-seconds and one big right to stop pro-debuting heavyweightMarco Nascimento. 

Massachusetts welterweightEric “Gladiator” Goff convincingly won his pro debut againstJader Alves(0-5) as he pitched a 4-round shutout

Three-time New England Golden Gloves championDemek "Hightower" Edmonds had an awesome pro debut, dropping cruiserweightFrancisco Neto twice in round one, the second a vicious body shot ending the fight. Edmonds, a southpaw from Worcester, MA, is a college graduate and bonafide prospect to watch.

In a non-title fight, Champion sa New England welterweightMike "Daotang Tawo" Ohan, Jr. (12-1, 6 KOs) schooled his 54-fight Las Vegas opponent, junior middleweightRynell Griffin. Ohan decked Griffin three times in the first round, the third with a left hook to the body from which Griffin was unable to beat the count.

Canadian cruiserweightYan "Wild Thing" Pellerin (11-1, 5 KOs) landed two stinging rights to the body of 63-fight veteranSteve “The Spoiler” Walker, both flooring the Missouri fighter, the second resulting in an opening-round knockout for the vacant ABF Atlantic title.

Connecticut welterweightOmar “The Beast” Borday, Jr. (1101, 3 KOs) dominated 65-fight journeymanKaalam sa Dewayne en route to a one-sided 8-round unanimous decision.
