Dawson-Daniels, Couch-Clampitt headline CES’ Dec. 10 show
Event to Air Dec. 11 on CN8, The Comcast Network
PROVIDENCE, RI (November 17, 2004) – Two world championship matches headline “Bragging Rights,” promoted by Jimmy Burchfield’s Classic Entertainment & Sports, Inc. (CES), in association with Foxwoods Resort Casino and CN8, The Comcast Network Friday night, December 10 at Foxwoods in Mashantucket, Connecticut. World Boxing Council youth middleweight champion ‘Bad’ Chad Dawson (15-0, 10 KOs) will be featured in his first main event Dec. 10 against former World Boxing Association champion Carl ‘The Squirrel’ Daniels (49-4-1, 31 KOs) in a ten-round title match. In the ten-round co-feature, IWBF light welterweight champion Jane ‘Fleetwood Assassin’ Couch (24-6, 8 KOs) defends her belt against the woman she took it from last June in a thrilling match, Jaime ‘The Hurricane’ Clampitt (14-3, 5 KOs).
“Chad Dawson is proving he’ll fight any middleweight in the world,” promoter Burchfield said. “Daniels is a former WBA champion with forty-nine career wins and all four of losses were in major world title fights. Chad is really stepping up in class against Daniels. Couch-Clampitt I last June was one of the best fights in women’s boxing history. The rematch should be just as good and Jaime is out to get her title belt back. Wait until you see the undercard we’re putting together to support the main event and co-feature. Some of the top prospects in boxing will be fighting.”
“Bragging Rights” will be taped live and air in primetime Saturday, December 11, 7:30-10:00 PM/ET on CN8, The Comcast Network to 6.4 million homes from Maine to Maryland. CN8’s coverage of “The Dream Continues” will also be available on Comcast Digital Cable’s “ON DEMAND” service and online at www.cn8.tv. Overall, “Bragging Rights” will be broadcast on tape delay in up to 20-million additional households nationwide.
Dawson, fighting out of New Haven (CT), is rated number nineteen by the WBC, as well as number six by the NABF and number seven by the USBA. Only three fights ago Daniels fought Bernard Hopkins for the undisputed middleweight title. His career losses have been to world champions Hopkins, Terry Norris, Laurent Boudouani and Julio Cesar Vasquez. ‘The Squirrel’ holds wins against Brian Barbosa and Julio Cesar Green among his forty-nine victims.
Clampitt, of Narragansett (RI), lost her world title to Couch this past June only two days after her co-trainer and close friend Tiny Ricci had passed away. Couch won a controversial ten-round decision by scores of 96-95 and 96-94 (twice) and has returned from her home in England for the much-anticipated rematch at Foxwoods.
