On Thursday August 27 at the elegant Schuetzen Park in North Bergen, Junior Welterweight contender "Mighty" Mike Arnaoutis 22-3-2 (10 KO's), of Atlantic City by way of Athens Greece will look to rack up his second straight victory against tough veteran Troy Browning 20-3-1 (8 KO's). Arnaoutis will headline his second consecutive show at Schuetzen Park since his devastating defeat against Victor Ortiz on HBO in March. The 41 year old Browning has dropped his last three fights by decision (including to local favorite Pawel Wolak) but made major waves in the boxing world by upsetting highly touted prospect Julio Garcia on ESPN in 2007. The Arnaoutis-Browning match up is slated for ten rounds.
The eight round co-feature is between local favorite Bobby Rooney 10-2-1 (6 KO's) of Bayonne, NJ and Toris "The Bull" Brewer 14-3 (6 KO's) of South Carolina. Rooney, whose ring entrance is led by Beetlejuice of Howard Stern fame, scored an impressive first round stoppage of Brian Bernard in June.
Lightweight Chris "Smooth Operator" Green 2-1 (1 KO) of Asbury Park, NJ will take on North Bergen's own Ricardo Rosas 2-5-1 (1 KO). Green will look to rebound from his tough decision loss to Mondre Pope in June.
Hot prospect Jason "Monstruo" Escalara 6-0 (6 KO's) of Union City, NJ will square up against Andre Espeut 2-0 (1 KO) from Morristown NJ in a four round Light Heavyweight contest. Escalara is one of New Jersey's best kept secrets and has phenomenal punching power.
Exciting brawler Chris Murphy 3-0 (3 KO's) of Sparta, NJ will do battle against fellow New Jerseyan Abraham Torres 1-3-1 of Union City over four rounds at Junior Middleweight. Garden State Fight Scene spoke with Murphy last week and our exclusive interview with him will be posted shortly.
Cruiserweight Patrick Farrell 3-0 (2 KO's) of Jersey City, NJ is taking on Edinburg, VA's Scott Hosaflook 2-4 in a four rounder. The all action Farrell is truly a crowd pleaser.
Rounding out the card is a four rounder between pro debutant Steve Martinez of the Bronx and Saint Joseph,MO's Keith Collins 2-2 (1 KO).
