ESPN Friday Night Fights Returning to Turning Stone on January 25
From: Turning Stone Resort & Casino
The Turning Stone Resort and Casino Event Center will once again host championship boxing as ESPN Friday
Night Fights returns on January 25, 2013. Turning Stone has been the site of
many major boxing bouts in the past, and the event's promoters are confident
that these fights will live up to that legacy.
The main event of the evening will be an epic twelve round bout between Sergiy "Razor" Dzinzuruk, a Ukranian former WBO Jr. Middleweight Champion, and Brian Vera, the current NABO Middleweight Champion. Vera captured the NABO title last August and is currently ranked as the Middleweight Division's #4 boxer. He has a career record of 21-6 with a dozen knockouts. His opponent sports a record of 37-1-1 with twenty-four knockouts. The bout will be nationally televised by ESPN, the Worldwide Leader in Sports.
The January 25th event will also have a co-feature. Tony "Lightning" Louis will take on Milky "Silky Smooth" Gonzalez in a welterweight bout. Louis has a perfect 15-0 career record, including seven knockouts. He hails from Cornwall, Ontario. Gonzalez, who is from Cleveland, Ohio, has a 20-3 career record with fifteen knockouts. Gonzalez is seeking to rebound from a recent September defeat that snapped an impressive fifteen bout-winning streak.
The event's promoters are Greg Cohen Promotions and Banner Promotions. Greg Cohen has expressed his enthusiasm for returning to the Turning Stone Resort Event Center, describing his company as "thrilled to be back." He expects January 25th to be a thrilling night for boxing lovers. This is the third time in the past four months that GCP has promoted an event at Turning Stone.
The Turning Stone Resort and Casino is a must-visit destination in upstate New York. Along with great boxing events, it features first class gambling, golf, and live entertainment. The resort is also renowned for its great spas, dining opportunities, and accommodations.
Turning Stone Resort will open for the event at 6:30 PM. The initial undercard bout will begin at 7:30. The undercard matchups will be announced at a later date. ESPN2 will broadcast the event live starting at 9:00 PM. As with all events, the boxing matches are subject to change. Tickets can be purchased at prices ranging to $25 to $70.
