Too Smooth!!!!

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

Godfrey is a good fighter who is making a name for himself little by little, he will be a major factor in the CW division over the next few years....Jeremy Williams caused him to have a bit of a layoff when he backed out of the fight they had together...Matt was looking forward to fighting him too...Williams talked a lot of trash about Godfrey...IMO would have been a bad night for the "Half Man Half Knocked Out" Williams....

Plus Godfrey is a nice guy who will be a good image for the sport

I agree. Personally I also was hoping Jason Estrada would become a force in the HW Div... But after his last few fights he doesn't seem to have what it takes to really make noise.

I think Jimmy Burchfield has put together a pretty respectable stable for a small time promoter... He's had guys like Paz under his flag. Manfredo has done alot for the younger fighters fighting under him on Jimmy's cards to get their names out there.

Jaimie Clampitt and Missy Fiorentino have always been fun to watch on his cards... Missy's a beast.

Kind of excited to see what happens with Angel Camacho in the next few years...

I also want to see what happens with Mesi. Now that he's licensed in RI I'll be able to see alot of him.

Matt Remillard is one of the top featherweight prospects... Good looking fighter. Met him. Nice guy.

Joey Spina... Hmmm... Not much good to say about him but that he can punch... At least against C level guys.

Balletto was under Jimmy's flag for his whole career. Crude fighter but fun to watch.

Overall CES has shaped up to be a decent draw for the New England area. I always look forward to the cards Jimmy puts on.

Yeah, Estrada is a bit of a disappointment. He can make a living, but his ceiling is probably somewhere around Dominic Guinn level. Maybe he'll be a top 20, but I can't see him ever in the top ten. I had hoped he might develop some power, but if he can't KO the C-level competition he's been facing, he's never going to be more than an decent opponent level fighter.

Manfredo might be the best known and most popular, but Godfrey is definately the class of the Birchfield stable. I don't ever expect Manfredo to where belt other than NABF or an equivanent, but Godfrey will be a legit top 5 CW for a while, and he has a chance to win a real belt. I expect him to start getting more love around here by the end of 2008.

I'd second that.. Angel looks good.. I was at the boxing gym when my friend trained and he was real helpful as far as teaching all the 'new guys' i guess you could say.. To be honest, I think he'd be better off at Middleweight cause he doesn't have a ton of power, and he may have trouble against some bigger guys, but we'll see how it pans out..


I'm hoping my sister just gives me tickets like she did last time for one of his fights.. i guess she knows Angels wife/gf? (don't even know if they're still together) but his daughter was always playing with my nephew.. either way, free tickets are always nice.

Last time i saw Balletto he said he wasn't fighting again, but boxers always say that.. and someone told me Spina was in some accident or something and not in good condition? Any truth to that?

But as far as Manfredo promoting the younger fighters, i do think he really did/will still get them some exposure.. In that sense i think being from such a small place helped them because everyone either knew, or at least heard of the other guys.

Yeah, Gary won't fight again... Ton of heart though...

Spina was supposedly fighting on the March 14th card but boxrec has nothing... Could be some truth to it.

Yeah, Angel seems cool. Saw him down there last time I was on The Hill grabbing a sandwich at Roma Gormet.
