Providence Press Conference Quotes

Jaime Clampitt: “I’ve been working hard and I’m ready to go. To be honest, I’m sick of talking and I want to fight; tomorrow night that’s what I’m going to do.”

Missy Fiorentino: “It’s going to be a great fight. It’s great to be in the first female main event (in Rhode Island). I’ve put on weight and feel good, and strong.”

Jason Estrada: “Robert Wiggins is a very tough fighter. I was going to dog Robert here today and give him some pub after the fight. But I can’t do that. It’s the wrong fight for Robert to take because I’m on top of my game. I’m still pissed about my last fight (first round NC vs. Yanqui Diaz) and I have to take it out on somebody. It just happens to be a good friend (Wiggins). It’s going to be a good fight. I’m winning this fight. That’s all there is to it.”

Robert Wiggins:  “Estrada’s taking this fight because he thinks he’s going to get a big win. Tomorrow’s going to be a tough fight, a real fight.”

Demetrious Andrade:  “I’m excited to be fighting in front of my hometown crowd. I want to thank Jimmy Burchfield for this opportunity.”

“Let It Ride” Pro-Am Boxing Show
Clampitt-Fiorentino world title fight, Estrada-Wiggins, plus amateur champion “Boo Boo” Andrade Thursday night, May 18 at R.I. Convention Center in Providence

PROVIDENCE (May 17, 2006) – “Let It Ride,” the first Pro-Am boxing show in Rhode Island history, is headlined by a 10-round IWBF lightweight title fight between defending champion Jaime “The Hurricane” Clampitt (16-3-1, 7 KOs) and intrastate rival Missy “The Fury” Fiorentino (13-1, 6 KOs), the reigning IWBF featherweight title-holder, Thursday night (May 18) at the Rhode Island Convention Center in downtown Providence.

Providence heavyweights Jason “Big Six” Estrada (5-0, 1 KO), the 2004 U.S. Olympian, and veteran Robert Wiggins (20-6-1, 12 KOs) battle in the 10-round co-feature on “Let It Ride,” promoted by Classic Entertainment & Sports (CES) and sponsored by Lincoln Park.

“Let It Ride” will be taped live and broadcast on CN8, The Comcast Network. The event will air network wide on SATURDAY, May 20 at 7:00 PM/ET. The CES/CN8 announcing team includes blow-by-blow commentator Ed Berliner, former five-time world champion Vinny “The Pazmanian Devil” Paz serving as color analyst, and Phil Burton as ringside reporter.

WBC rated No. 18 super welterweight Ossie Duran (20-5-1, 9 KOs), of Ghana, makes his U.S. and CES debut against Marcos “The Terminator” Primera (19-13-2, 12 KOs) in a six-round Special Attraction.

“This is the first female main event in Rhode Island history,” promoter Jimmy Burchfield said. “It’s a fight everyone wants to see. We should acknowledge both camps for accepting this fight. I would buy a ticket to this fight…really!

“We also have an Olympian (Estrada) with over 300 amateur fights. Where do you see a fighter with only five pro fights fighting somebody of this magnitude (Wiggins) with 27 fights? And he always comes to fight. Estrada wants to be heavyweight champion. Wait until you see Ossie Duran. In the very near future he will be fight for the 147-pound world title. And our amateur part of the show has somebody (Demetrious Andrade) who will be fighting in the 2008 Olympics.”

Also on the undercard is Providence middleweight Richard “Bobo” Starnino (6-1-1, 1 KO), returning to the ring for the first time in nearly 2 ½ years, against Keith Sonley; Pawtucket lightweight Eddie Soto (4-0, 3 KOs) squares off against Montez Wilson.

Newly crowned National Golden Gloves 152-pound champion Demetrius “Boo Boo” Andrade (401 Gym), arguably the No. 1 amateur boxer in the country, boxes before his hometown fans against One Shot Thomas, fighting out of Brooklyn via Ghana. Andrade, who also is the 2-time U.S. Championships winner, and is a bonafide 2008 Olympic hopeful for the United States.
