LONG IN TOOTH MANFREDO CAN STILL DRAW
Boston, MA– Peter Manfredo Jr. (35-6, 19 KOs) of Providence, RI returns home this Friday (November 12, 2010) in the main event of a card entitled, “Homecoming King.” In this ten round main event, Manfredo will go against a Colombian journeyman who can punch a little in Jhon Berrio (15-7, 11 KOs) at the Twin River Event Center in Lincoln, RI.
RHODE ISLAND, MUST BE A “JIMMY B” SHOW!
“Homecoming King” is presented by Jimmy Burchfield’s Classic Entertainment & Sports and Di Bella Entertainment . After a two year hiatus, Manfredo (35-6, 19 KOs) returns to his native Rhode Island for the 17th time, having gone 16-1, with 10 KOs at home. He is also unbeaten at Twin River with three stops. The 29 year old Manfredo is hoping a win Friday, a successful defense of the obscure IBO title in mid January 2011 on an ESPN’s Friday Night Fights telecast and then, hopefully, an IBF title match up against champion Sebastian Sylvester. The Burchfield promoted Manfredo, will be fighting under co-promoter Lou DiBella’s Di Bella Entertainment banner for the first time. Manfredo looks to impress Dibella, hoping that he will get him the big shot at the IBF title.
