Rajon Chance vs Yan Carlos Perez

The fight matched the crowd intensity as Burke and Maietta were like gladiators of years gone by. Grit, blood and heart were on display during the entire fight with fans chanting and rooting for each fighter.

Maietta, the brave and gutsy NYC fireman, came out strong and appeared to be winning the quick paced first round, when Burke dropped Maietta with an overhand right. Maietta fought back bravely throughout the bout, but Burke’s combinations were too much for Maietta to combat. Both fighters large groups of fans remained vocal throughout as the action inside the ring and fervor of the divergent crowd made for a dramatic and thrilling spectacle.

The show was promoted by Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing, as Joe returned to his roots

where he promoted shows in the 1990’s and once fought on his way to Junior Olympic and Golden Gloves Championships. Interestingly, both his dad and uncle fought as professionals as well at the same historic venue. The enthusiastic crowd saw sensational ‘old school’ action in the ring and riveting fan engagement outside the ring as the fights lived up to their pre-fight billing. The entire show was beyond impressive.

It wasn’t just a boxing event— it was a full-throttle experience that kept everyone standing, shouting, and supporting their favorites, and, in the end, acknowledging and appreciating all the fighters, regardless of who they were originally rooting for. A fantastic evening of entertainment.
