Joe "The Irish Bomber"
Smith Jr.
Headlines Rockin' Fights 20
Joe DeGuardia's Star Boxing presents another installment of
the popular "Rockin' Fights" series Friday, September 11th,
at The Paramount in Huntington, NY.
Headlining once again will be the hard hitting, hard
charging, Joe "The Irish Bomber" Smith Jr. (18-1 15KO's),
Mastic, NY taking on veteran spoiler Dion Savage, (12-7
6KO's), Flint, MI in a scheduled 10 round Light Heavyweight
matchup.
Smith, who returns to The Paramount, is coming off a
thrilling 2nd round destruction of Cory Cummings on April
18th that had the sellout crowd in a frenzy as both fighters
traded bombs from the opening bell. Smith eventually got to
Cummings dropping him 3 times en route to the stoppage win.
Smith, a member of Local 66 Laborers Union, has developed a
huge fan base since making The Paramount his home base. He
is trained and managed by Jerry and Phil Capobianco and
faces his most experienced opponent in Dion Savage.
Savage, who hails from Flint, MI, has fought some of the top
fighters in the world including current Light Heavyweight
champion Adonis Stevenson, as well as top prospects Jesse
Hart, Ronald Gavril, and Will Rosinsky. Savage is a crowd
pleaser like Smith and has been training very hard for this
opportunity and promises to upset the hometown favorite.
Promoter Joe DeGuardia had this to say about "Rockin' Fights
20" main event, "I'm very excited to once again feature Joe
Smith Jr. at The Paramount on September 11th. Joe is quickly
