Mashantucket, CT (Juni 4, 2017) – The amazing comeback of Matt “Sharp Shooter” Remillard continued last night as the popular Connecticut lightweight stopped Fatiou Fassinou i Broadway Boxing headliner held in Fox Theater, at Foxwoods Resort Casino, in Mashantucket, CT.
Den Broadway Boxing 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 Mikey Garcia (LRTD11). Fighting out of Manchester, CT, tonight’s fight was Remillard’s first in his home state in six-and-a-half years, på grund av att han avtjänar ett fem års fängelse. He returned to the ring this past April, taking an eight-round decision from Agustine Mauras, i Worcester, MA.
I öppningsrundan, Remillard (25-1, 14 Kos) and the slick Benin-native, former WBC International Silver champion Fassinou (27-6-3, 14 Kos) 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. Jag kände mig bra; Jag är 24/7 in the gym. 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, vid 135 eller 140 pounds, 100-procent. He owes me a rematch. The guy he beat wasn’t me.”
Ruslan Shamalov (L) & George Arias turned in the Fight of the Night
I co-funktionen, two New York City-based heavyweights, 6’5″ ryska Ruslan Shamalov (4-1, 3 Kos) and Dominican “Gentleman” George Arias (7-0, 3 Kos), fighting out of Brooklyn and the Bronx, respektive, 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 “Fight of the Year” kandidat. Arias, the leader of Team Wash Em’ Up in the Bronx, won a six-round unanimous decision by scores of 60-54, 59-55, och 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 Williams (R) celebrated his high school graduation a little early
Crowd favorite “Förunderliga” Mykquan Williams (7-0, 4 Kos) gave himself an early high school graduation present as the East Hartford fighter defeated Nicaraguan welterweight Ariel “La Guerra” Vasquez (13-18-2, 9 Kos) in the former’s first six-round bout. The 19-year-old Williams, a five-time national amateur champion, is a budding star with tremendous upside. Poised beyond his years, Williams controlled the pace against his battle-tested southpaw opponent, som är 11 years Williams’ senior, displaying his vast arsenal of punches, especially his left-right combination that landed consistently. Williams’ fast hands exploded for the first time at the end of the second round, then he picked up his assault in the third, as he cruised to a six-round shutout decision, with three tallies of 60-54.
Williams graduates on Juni 20 from Prince Tech. “That was a good graduation present,” Williams sade. “My hand speed played a big factor. He was a tough guy, especially for my first six-rounder.”
Jennifer Salinas (R) had too much for Marquita Lee
mästare i fjädervikt Jennifer “The Bolivian Queen” Salinas (20-4, 5 Kos) besegrade Marquita Lee (3-5) by way of a hard-fought six-round unanimous decision. Salinas, slåss av Providence, was the aggressor throughout, but Lee never took a backward step. Scorecards 59-55 två gånger, och 58-56, all for Salinas.
Fighting a much more experienced and taller opponent from Africa, promising Lynn, MA prospekt Khiry “TNT” Todd (5-0, 5 Kos) won his fifth pro fight, alla genom knockout. EN 2016 New England Golden Gloves mästare, Todd gained invaluable experience against cagey super welterweight Nicolas Sarouna (12-9-1, 9 Kos), of Togo, who took a knee after getting hit by a sneaky uppercut in the third round. Sarouna failed to beat the 10-count as Todd improved his perfect record, with a TKO stoppage at the 1:32 märke.
Radzhab Butaev left Abraham Alvarez on the mat in serious pain
Unbeaten Russian middleweight prospect Radzhab “The Python” Butaev (6-0, 4 Kos) was too much for Mexican Abraham “The Swift” Alvarez (20-11-1, 11 Kos). 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 runda en.
Cuban cruiserweight Luis “El Leon” Garcia (15-0, 12 Kos) kept his perfect pro record intact with a first-round knockout of his outclassed Mexican opponent Felipe Romero (19-14-1, 13 Kos), fighting out of San Diego. Now living in Peekskill, NY, Garcia dropped Romero with an overhand right in the opening seconds and he never let up, consistently hurting Romero with a series of devastating rights. Garcia closed the show with a powerhouse uppercut, leading referee Johnny Callas to halt the action at the 1:48 märke.
Three-time Puerto Rican National Boxing team member Jose Roman (4-0, 3 Kos) went the distance for the first time against a game William Hill (2-3), av Detroit. The skilled Puerto Rican super welterweight applied pressure from the opening bell, using a fierce body attack on Hill, who was trapped on the ropes for most of the fight. The judges tallied 40-36 två gånger, och 39-37, all for Roman via unanimous decision.
##
DiBella Entertainment’s unbeaten featherweight contender Luis Rosa also fought på lördag, headlining a card at the Floyd Little Athletic Center in his hometown of New Haven, CT, facing Carlos Osorio, av Managua, Nicaragua. Rosa pressured his adversary throughout the contest, wearing him down with a steady attack to the body. Osorio was game and had a stiff jab, though the hometown favorite’s combinations on the inside helped to diminish the Nicaraguan’s punch output. Believing that Osorio had taken a great deal of punishment, the referee halted the contest at the 1:25 märke runda sex, awarding Rosa the TKO victory. Med segern, Rosa improved to 23-0 (11 Kos), while Osorio’s record dropped to 13-7 (5 Kos).

LÖRDAG, JUNI 3
FOX THEATER AT FOXWOODS RESORT CASINO, Mashantucket, CT
New York, NY (5/22/17) – På Lördag, Juni 3, DiBella Entertainment will return to the Fox Theater at Foxwoods Resort Casino, in Mashantucket, CT, for the latest exciting installment of its popular Broadway Boxing serie, presented by Nissan of Queens, Azad Watches, OPTYX, and Christos Steak House. The card will feature a bevy of New England talent, including fan favorite Shelly “Shelito Way” Vincent in an eight-round special attraction featherweight bout, as well as lightweight Matt Remillard on the comeback and welterweight prospect Mykquan Williams on the rise.
“I am happy to bring another great card back to Foxwoods, which continues to be a terrific venue for Broadway Boxing,” sade Lou DiBella, VD för DiBella Entertainment. “Fans will not want to miss the always-entertaining Shelly Vincent, who is a great ambassador for women’s boxing. The stacked undercard will include local New England favorites Matt Remillard, Mykquan Williams, Jonathan Figueroa, and Khiry Todd, as well as Russian future world champion Radzhab Butaev and a battle between unbeaten heavyweight prospects Ruslan Shamalov and George Arias.”
One of the most popular fighters out of the New England area, Shelly “Shelito Way” Vincent (19-1, 1 KO), born in New London, CT, but now residing in Providence, RI, will compete at Foxwoods for the seventh time, in an eight-round featherweight bout. I augusti förra året, Vincent entered enemy territory to challenge rival Heather Hardy in her adversary’s hometown of Brooklyn, NY. Their highly publicized grudge match was nationally televised by NBC Sports Net and was hailed by Ring Magazine as the “Female Fight of the Year” för 2016. Vincent was also honored by the Connecticut Boxing Hall of Fame as their “Fighter Årets” för 2016, becoming the first female recipient of the award. She rebounded from her only defeat with a unanimous decision victory on December 2, back home in Rhode Island. Before turning pro in October 2011, Vincent was a Connecticut State, Connecticut Golden Gloves, and National Golden Gloves champion as an amateur. Managed by Mike Criscio and trained by Peter Manfredo Sr., Vincent signed with DiBella Entertainment in 2016.
Matt “Sharp Shooter” Remillard (24-1, 13 Kos), från Hartford, CT, will continue his comeback, following a six-year ring absence, i en åtta Ligt lätt match. It will be his first fight in his home state since November 2010. En pro sedan 2005, Remillard is a former WBC Youth, WBC-USNBC, NABF and NABO featherweight champion. His only loss came in March 2011 to the unbeaten Mikey Garcia, now the WBC world lightweight champion. He is trained by Paul Cichon, a local legend and community leader, out of Manchester Ring of Champions Society boxing gym. Som amatör, Remillard accumulated a record of 115-25, and was a two-time Everlast Under-19 National amateur champion.

Promoted by DiBella Entertainment and managed by Jackie Kallen, the 19-year-old Williams will return to Foxwoods, where he has built a strong following, for the sixth time, in his first scheduled six-rounder. Williams is also trained by Cichon, whom he’s known since he was a child and looks upon as a surrogate father. His biological father was murdered when Mykquan was just a week old. Williams was a decorated amateur with a 45-13 post, highlighted by three gold-medal performances at the Ringside World Championships, in addition to winning the PAL Tournament and Silver Gloves Championships.
Unbeaten New York-based heavyweights will collide in their toughest tests to date, when Russian Ruslan Shamalov (4-0, 3 Kos) meets Dominican George Arias (6-0, 3 Kos) i en sex-round tävlingen.

Cuban cruiserweight Luis Garcia (14-0, 11 Kos), based out of Peekskill, NY, will see action in a six-round bout. After being denied a berth on the Cuban Olympic team, despite winning in the Cuban Olympic qualifiers preparing for the Games in Beijing, Garcia defected from his native land and settled in Cork, Irland, where he turned pro in September 2008. Having built his record to a perfect 11-0 over the next 26 månader, Garcia then relocated to the United States to resume his career. I december 5, 2015, Garcia made his New York debut at Barclays Center, i Brooklyn, earning a 63-second knockout versus Willie Williams.

WORCESTER, Mäss. (Mars 20, 2017) – Den långa resan tillbaka börjar i april 1st för Matt “Sharp Shooter” Remillard, 12 år till dagen från sin professionella debut, på “New Englands framtid 2” show på Palladium i Worcester, Massachusetts.
Remillard (23-1, 13 Kos), slåss ut från Manchester, Connecticut, har inte boxats på sex år, på grund av att han avtjänar ett fem års fängelse. Han tar sig an Lawrence (MA) lätta Augustine “Hänsynslösa” Maura (6-1-3, 3 Kos) i den åtta runda co-funktionen. Om de är spända, nästan flyktig nedstirrande vid en presskonferens nyligen är en sann indikation, Remillard vs. Mauras går inte långt, för att uttrycka saken milt.
New Englands framtid 2″ presenteras av Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), som ägs och drivs av pensionerade tre gånger, mästare två division världen Jose Antonio Rivera och hans son, Anthonee (A.J.) Rivera.
“Jag är glad över att ha en boxare av Remillards kaliber på vår "New England's Future 2"’ boxning händelse,” promotor Jose Antonio Rivera anmärkte. “Han har en tuff match mot Mauras i augusti för sin första fight tillbaka. Att känna Remillard, fast, han skulle inte ha det på något annat sätt. Jag vill tacka Matt, Paul Cichon (huvud tränare) och deras team för att lita på Rivera Promotions Entertainment för Matts första boxningsmatch efter hans långa uppsägning.”
Remillard är ett tidigare World Boxing Council (WBC) USA & Ungdomens värld, Nordamerikanska boxningsförbundet (NABF) och World Boxing Organization (WBO) mästare i fjädervikt. Hans ensamma proffsförlust kom i hans sista match, Mars 23, 2011 i Atlantic City för att sedan stiga stjärna Mikey Garcia (24-0), när Remillard gick i pension efter 11 rundor. Han kommer inte med ursäkter; emellertid, han borde aldrig ha tagit kampen med Garcia, inför det förestående rättsfallet som skickade honom till fängelse och arbetade med en ny huvudtränare som han bara träffat två veckor innan slagsmålet.
“Jag är övertygad om att jag kan komma tillbaka till där jag var om ungefär ett år,” sa den 30-årige Remillard. “En dröm som går i uppfyllelse skulle vara en revansch med Garcia, oavsett vikt, men jag måste förtjäna den chansen. Alla vill ha en revansch med killen som gav dig den första förlusten. Det händer sällan men, om inte, med tiden tror jag att det kommer att bli andra stora slagsmål där ute för mig.
“Jag slåss mot en motståndare som slogs av kompis, Chip Perez, tre gånger (0-2-1), så jag är bekant med hans stil. Han backar inte. Jag förväntar mig inte att han ska backa mot mig…tills han känner min kraft. Jag ska ta ut de där fem åren som jag var borta från honom. Jag har gått igenom så mycket de senaste sex åren men jag trivs bäst på gymmet. Det förflutna är förbi och det här är min sista löptur. Paul och jag har många oavslutade ärenden att ta hand om.”
För sjutton år sedan, Chicon träffade Remillard först på Manchester PAL gym, men han fick den 13-årige blivande boxaren att tjäna sin möjlighet att tränas. Paul fick Matt att städa badrummen, ta hand om spotthinkar, etc. innan han började träna honom.
“När han återvände till gymmet för några månader sedan, Jag såg att hans arbetsmoral inte hade bleknat,” Cichon kommenterade. “Jag tror inte att han är så långt borta från där han var för sex år sedan. Han var sysslolös i fem år men den första dagen tillbaka sparrade han 12 rundor. Han höll sig i god fysisk form och är hungrigare än någonsin. Han tror att han har något att bevisa efter sin senaste kamp, men han har verkligen inget att bevisa för mig eller någon annan. Han slåss mot ett tufft barn men Matt kommer att vinna. Jag tror att om fyra eller fem matcher till kommer han att vara tillbaka där han var i boxningen.”
Pembroke (MA) Cruiser Vinnie “Amerikansk mardröm” Litet ansikte (15-1-1, 14 KOs kommer att rubrik mot den brasilianska KO-specialisten Gilberto Matheus “The Magic” söndagar (22-6, 20 Kos), den tidigare sydamerikanska mästaren i lätt tungvikt, i åtta-omgången main event.
Dorchester (MA) tungvikt Donnie “Stort otäckt” Palmer (8-1-1, 7 Kos) möter obesegrade Quian Davis (4-0-2, 2 Kos), av Mays Landing (NJ), i en match om fyra rundor.
2016 New England Golden Gloves mästare Anthony Laureano (2-0, 1 KO), slåss ut från East Hartford (CT), träffar Schenectady (NY) veteran Bryan “The Brick” Abraham (6-23-1, 6 Kos) i en sex-round match.
Fighting på undercard i fyra rundor matcher är Worcester cruiserweight Bryan Daniels (3-0, 1 KO) vs. Mexikansk inkräktare Jose Humberto “Olympia” korall (19-23, 12 Kos), Worcester fjäder Andino Ranse (1-0) vs. Mike Hellenfinger (0-2), av Harrisburg (PA), tre gånger USA Boxing Nationals mästare elvis Figueroa, New Haven (CT) gör sin proffsdebut vs. Brasiliansk supermellanvikt Devision Robiero (0-3), Worcester weltervikt Andy Gonzalez (5-1, 5 Kos) vs. Brocktons Antonio Chavez Fernandes (7-30-4, 2 Kos), 2014 VARKEN.

Presskonferens CITAT
Vinnie Carita: “I saw the last (RPE) show and it was great. I’m happy to be on this show. This is a great show with a lot of New England talent. There’s going to be fireworks!”
Matt Remillard: “Jag var på (RPE’s) last fight and it sold out. That’s awesome. They’re making boxing better, not only in Worcester, but throughout New England. April 1, 2005, I turned pro. I never fought in Worcester before. It’s a great atmosphere. This has been a long time coming, six years I’m going to punish him for. It will not go the distance, I can promise that. He won’t recognize himself after the fight. After I knock him down, I hope he gets back up because I want to punish him. This isn’t a game. I’m in the hurt business.”
Augustinus Mauras: “I truly thank Matt Remillard for fighting somebody like me. I’m not an easy cookie. He’s going to be in the toughest fight of his life. I’m going to put you (Remillard) on his ass. I’m here to fight this man! It’s going to be a helluva fight.”
Jose Antonio Rivera, CEO/promoter: “I appreciate the support we received for our last show and we’re looking ahead to booking our next show in June. I can’t really say anything about that, än. I want to thank our sponsors. My roots are here in Worcester and that’s why so many of the fighters on this show are from here. We aren’t signing fighters, just giving them a platform to fight. Vi är glada, just nu, helping to provide them with a platform to go on to bigger and better things. Rivera Promotions Entertainment hopes to move fighters and allow them to showcase their skills. We’re very happy about this show. Remillard versus Mauras alone is worth the price of admission.”
Anthonee Rivera, President/matchmaker: “It’s been a lot of fun for us so far. We’re proud to bring boxing back to New England. There are a lot of great fighters on our April 1st card with top prospects, former Golden Gloves champs, top fighters like Matt Remillard and future world champions. All of these guys took the opponents they were offered, no cherry-picking, and that shows what kind of fighters they really are. Vi har 13 fights and don’t blink during any one of them.”
Bryan Daniels: “I’m a student of Worcester boxing and Jose Rivera was the most established fighter. He came from nothing to become world champion. Never in a million years did I think I’d be fighting on his card. I’m humbled. I was hoping to get an opponent with experience to bring the best out of me. This will be my first time fighting in Worcester to showcase my skills. I’m originally from Illinois but Worcester has a lot to offer, including Rivera Promotions Entertaining giving us a platform.”
Anthony Laureano: “I’m very thankful to be fighting on another Rivera Promotions Entertainment card. They did an awesome job last show and I’m grateful to be fighting again on their card. This will be a big test. Rivera Promotions gave me a platform to be signed by Star Boxing. Jose Rivera was a fighter and he knows what we need.”
Andino Ranse: “I have a fulltime job, go to the gym, and take care of my son. I want to thank Rivera Promotions Entertainment for allowing me to fight. I also want to thank Carlos Garcia, he’s the man! Jose’s been my idol since I first stepped into the gym.”
Neal Sullivan: “I grew up with AJ and Jose has always been good to me. I wouldn’t be fighting if I didn’t trust them. They look out for fighters. I’m a student of the game and know the history of Worcester boxing. I look forward to bringing it April 1st.”
Derrick Whitley: “My father was a professional boxer and I’ve been around boxing my whole life watching him. Detta är min tid, the beginning of my journey.”
Luis Santiago: “I want to thank Rivera Promotions Entertainment this opportunity. I’ve been ready since the last show (his opponent failed the pre-fight medical exam) and haven’t stopped working. April 1st will be the start of my pro career. It’s going to b e a great show and I’m going to end-up with a win.”
Mykqyan Williams: “Jag är väldigt glad. Träningsläger har varit utmärkt. Matt (Remillard) and myself have helped each get ready. I’m looking forward to putting on a good show.”
