Damon McCreary Looking To
Upset Undefeated Jarrell Miller Next Thursday Night In
Brooklyn
On Thursday night, June 4, Dmitry Salita's Star of David
Promotions will bring it's Brooklyn Brawl series to LIU
Brooklyn Paramount Theater with a terrific night of boxing.
In the main event, undefeated Heavyweight Jarrell "Big Baby"
Miller (12-0-1, 10 KO's) will risk his undefeated mark when
he takes on Damon McCreary (15-4, 11 KO's) in a bout
scheduled for 8 rounds.
McCreary has been training hard in Detroit as Miller will be
his 4th consecutive and 7th overall undefeated opponent.
He has previously been in with current WBC Heavyweight
champion Deontay Wilder as well as Jordan Shimmell, Ali
Mansour and Charles Martin.
"My training has been excellent. I feel great. I know what I
have going against me," said McCreary.
In Miller, McCreary will be facing a guy who stands about
6'4" and checks in around 260 lbs. McCreary has been
preparing for that with regular sparring against huge men.
"I know he is a big guy. I been sparring with guys who stand
about 6'8" and 6'9". I know Miller is young, hungry and a
puncher. His skills are OK but he hasn't fought at the level
I have been at."
McCreary has been a pro since 1998 and he feels that could
be a big factor in his favor.
"My experience is a huge factor. I know up until the last
couple years that he has been an MMA fighter. I just hope he
doesn't kick me or put me in a headlock." quipped McCreary.
Despite being 41 years-old, McCreary is confident that a win
in New York will catapult him into some great opportunities.
"I have a few years left in me. This win will get me a
bigger fight. It is great to fight in New York. I have
fought in Los Angeles and Chicago but I have to treat this
as just another fight."
Because of the his past opponents, McCreary is giving
himself a great shot to pull the upset.
"I am from Detroit. I am a soldier who won't back down and I
am coming to win. By the grace of god, I can pull the upset
and further my career."
