A great joy for this past weekend was to travel to Greenville, Ms. with all the fighters to join Jarred "Lethal Weapon" Leblanc, whom is there and has been for the past couple weeks. Training there; probably the most grueling stregnth and conditioning class in the United States. To watch them go through the workout then drive a short distance to put their boxing gloves on and go right back to work! All this with the hopes of getting everyone to come out and support their efforts on February 25th. at the Rayne Civic Center. I simply can not wait until fight night to see first hand the fireworks fly! With this line-up I have set, it can only be DYNAMIC!
Opening the evening will be Bailey Bobbitt fighting Ernest Parfait, remember? Ernest said "there is no way a guy making his pro debut can beat me" no way!! We shall see; Bailey is so set and so ready for some action, to watch this kid listen as he does and give his 110% at whatever i say is incredible! I am so pumped for Bailey to make his pro-debut and do it before his friends and family! Wow! That is awesome!
Todd Manuel against William Johnson; man trust me on this one, I promise you Todd has his hands full. William Johnson is a very rough customer and simply refuses to lose! Some may remember him? He boxed in Rayne a couple years back and lost a split decision to an undefeated fighter. Let's see if Todd can go 2-0.
Possibly in what might be the fight of the night, Jessie Patin will be fighting Tyrone Dowdy, this is a very interesting match-up! They both fight very similar, same height, roughly same reach and same weight! Dowdy looks alot like a Mack truck, and i have said Jessie is the hardest hitting white boy I have ever known! Let's go, one must rise up, and one must fall down, flip a coin!! Who you got?
Jarred "The Lethal Weapon" Leblanc is in the toughest fight of his life! Rohan Naugnton is from New York, where he is training for this fight! He was scheduled to fight a week earlier then our fight and has dropped that fight , says he is gonna take this fight because he will win this fight! Gulf Coast Boxing had Rohan on the phone today on a 3 way call and he assured Damien he was gonna put a blemish on Jarred's record, he is unaware of how hard Jarred is training, away from everyone including his precious children, Jarred is gonna be focused,hungry,angry, fired up, and ready to rumble! Fact!! This will be a blistering HOT! HOT! Fight!!
Bobby "The Prodigy" Bryant smokin' hot all the way through the amateurs! Made his pro debut in Rayne, loves the atmosphere and the people, so we called him back! He will be up against very, very tough and very durable Richard Dinkins! Dinkins is a die hard Alabama fan. Says if Alabama can pull off a National Title, I am just that inspired to pull of just as big an upset! What you say Dinkins?
I said it, I will keep saying it! Rock Hard "Mighty" Mason Menard and "The Cajun Arturro Gatti" Thomas Dardar will be the biggest, hardest fought fight in the past several years we have witnessed! Dardar WILL NOT back down, he will come from weird angles and throw shots between his legs, under his arms, from every direction we thought to be impossible! Dardar has said to me along with his trainer (Kennedy Mckinney,88 Olympic gold W.B.C. World Champion) on more than 1 occassion; "we are coming get that title" I guarantee you Dardar will be in the best shape of his life! Fully prepared to go home the Louisiana Lightweight Champion! I personally have failed a couple of times in my fighters careers, I made a promise to myself and my brothers we would not fail again! Where I failed, I will rise up. Where they failed they must rise up! personally, this will be the most exciting boxing action we have seen in years!
We CAN NOT do this without the help of you the fans! Please come out and support our hopes and dreams! Tickets at Red Lerille's, Planet Nutrition, Cajun Fitness(Rayne) or go to www.boxncar.com tickets are $20 general admission and V.I.P. tables(seats8) are $800
Quick note: boxrec which is a website about every fighter in the world, lists fights throughout the world. Each fight on each card has a 5 star rating system. I have never promoted a show where we had any star fights! 1 star is a good fight most times there is no star, just to show how credible this night will be, we have 6 fights and 4 of the 6 is a star fight! Mason, Jarred, Jessie and Todd all have a star by their name! What an honor, Jessie only has 3 fights and Todd only has 1. I hope and pray that all get to see God's grace and mercy shine through us! AN HONOR AND A PRIVELEDGE IS WHAT THIS IS!
PLEASE FOR THIS NIGHT OF FIGHTS WE NEED EVERY SINGLE PERSON POSSIBLE, TO BE THERE SCREAMING THERE HEADS OFF! WE NEED YOU!!!
