Undefeated Junior
Welterweight Raymond Tito Serrano To Be Showcased On ESPN2
Feb. 10
Star Boxing's undefeated junior welterweight prospect
Raymond "Tito" Serrano takes on dangerous Kenny Abril in the
10-round co-feature February 10 on ESPN Friday Night Fights
live from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut.
The action-packed Feb. 10 show is being presented by Joe
DeGuardia's Star Boxing. Serrano (17-0, 8 KOs), fighting out
of Philadelphia, faces another stiff test in former New York
State title-holder Abril (11-4-1, 6 KOs), of Rochester (NY).
An impressive victory could propel Serrano into a regional
title fight. Already ranked No. 11 by the World Boxing
Association ("WBA), the talented 22-year-old is also rated
in the top 10 by the NABF (#5), USBA (#6) NABO (#9) and WBA
#15.
The headliner is a 10-round battle between undefeated 2008
U.S. Olympian Demetrius "Boo Boo" Andrade (15-0, 10 KOs) and
former USBA champion Derek "Pooh" Ennis (23-3-1, 13 KOs) for
the vacant North American Boxing Organization ("NABO")
junior middleweight title. Former World amateur champion
Andrade - WBO #9, WBC & IBF #13 and WBA #15 - fights out of
nearby Providence, while IBF #9 Ennis is from Philadelphia.
A strong undercard features past and future champions and
contenders, as well as some of the most promising prospects
on the East Coast.
Former USBA & NABO light welterweight champion "Mighty" Mike
Arnaoutis (22-7-2, 10 KOs) returns against crowd-pleasing
veteran Shaka Moore (11-16-3, 2 KOs), of Norwalk (CT), in
what promises to be a very entertaining six-round bout.
Star Boxing's undefeated super featherweight prospect
Emanuel Gonzalez (9-0, 7 KOs) puts his perfect record on the
line against upset-minded Jesus Bayron (5-3-1, 4 KOs) in a
six-round match. A six-round super featherweight battle
between East Hartford favorite Joseph "Chip" Perez (6-1, 2
KOs) and unbeaten Danny Valle (5-0, 3 KOs), who is also from
the Bronx, is a match-up of two young prospects.
Also fighting on the undercard in separate four-round bouts
is a pair of promising Connecticut boxers. New Haven super
middleweight Charles Foster (1-0) tangles with Queens
veteran Borngood Washington. Waterbury's gifted junior
welterweight Jair Ramos (1-0) is also scheduled to appear on
the card.
