(SEPT 3) Brooklyn, NY -- Amanda
"The Real Deal" Serrano [WBAN's September 2014 Fighter of the
Month] will enter the ring at the Master Theater (Formerly the
Millennium Theater) in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn on September. 18
with a brand new belt strapped around her waist, and the usual
stone game-face signaling her intentions.
Serrano (21-1-1, with 16 KOs) is one of the headliners September
18, on a Star of David Promotions card put together by promoter
Dmitriy Salita.
The 25-year-old southpaw recently traveled to Argentina and
scored a 6th round stoppage win over Maria Elena Maderna,
earning the WBO lightweight title. On Sept. 18, the Puerto Rican
native will be sticking close to home, fighting in her borough.
The foe on this night will be, as is per usual on a Salita card,
no easy triumph. Serrano, one half of the "Fighting Serrano
Sisters", seven years junior to big sister Cindy Serrano, is to
meet Jackie Trivilino, who'll show up with ample confidence.
"Amanda is an excellent athlete and so is Jackie," Salita said.
"Women's boxing as a sport has come a long way in the last 10
years. Female boxers today are world class athletes, very
skilled, in tremendous shape and determined to prove themselves
in the sport."
Trivilino battled fan-favorite Heather Hardy at Barclays Center
in her last outing, on June 14, and the Plattsburgh, NY native
lost a technical decision by the most narrow of margins. A
crowd-pleasing featherweight rumble is virtually guaranteed.
September 18 will also see the debut under the Star of David
promotional banner of Junior Wright, a Chicagoan who is a known
quality to hardcore NY-area boxing fans.
The cruiserweight boxed Steve Bujaj to a draw on the May 15
Salita show at the Master Theater, and that was a five star
showdown. Kamarah Parsley is coming from Philadelphia with
upsetting intentions; he wants to show the 11-0-1 Wright that
Philly trumps Chicago when the going gets tough.
Dimash Niyazov, a junior welterweight from Kazakhstan now living
on Staten Island, will seek to go to 7-0-2, but he'll have to
get past Rochester, NY lefty Jamell Tyson, a survivor type who
wants to play the spoiler.
Salita is also excited to see prospect Gary Beriguette (living
in Brooklyn NY, 5-0) in his toughest fight to date, against
Raphael Luna. Also, amateur standout Peter Dobson of the Bronx
is making his long awaited pro debut against the experienced
Mack Babb of Brooklyn, NY.
