CES Boxing puts on a packed card August 10 at the Twin River Event Center in Lincoln, RI headlined by top cruiserweight Matt Godfrey, who faces fast handed ex-heavyweight Derrick Brown in a dangerous bout.

Matt Godfrey: “I’m No. 2 in the WBC. I could be sitting at home or be here watching somebody else talking today. I guess I’m a little crazy. I didn’t want to fight a guy who has lost five in a row by knockout or a bad record. I have a very difficult fight against a guy who’s coming down from heavyweight. He (Derrick Brown) has very fast hands and a lot of power. He’s a dangerous fighter. He may be faster and have more power than me, but I have something he doesn’t – the will to win. I’m undefeated. I don’t know how to lose. Everybody will see it August 10. I’m going to keep my No. 2 WBA rating, go to 16-0, and defend my NABF title with my 10th knockout. Godfrey’s back in Rhode Island fighting in front of his hometown fans again.”

Jarrod Tillinghast: “Here we go again. This will be my third fight since coming back. If I would have told you I’d be here six months ago…..it was a dream. I must have talked to myself 700 times into coming back. I’ve put my best foot forward. I’m back.”

“Bobo” Starnino: “August 10th I’m going to put on a good fight. It’s a big fight for me. Eric, you’ve got to fight me with your hands. I’ve had a lot of sparring. We’re going to get busy.”

Eric Pinarreta: “It should be an interesting fight, New Bedford against Rhode Island. There are a lot of good fighters on the card. It’s going to be a good show.”

Manuel Antonio Lopes: “I’m thankful for this opportunity. I’m real excited to be on this card. Training has been going well and I’m looking forward to giving everyone a good fight.”

Mark DeLuca: “This is my first fight for CES. I’m very excited. I’ve been training hard.”

Andrey Nevsky: “I am going to do my best. I’m happy to be on this show. I’m an MMA fighter and boxer.”
