THOMAS “CORNFLAKE”
LAMANNA TO TAKE ON YOLEXCY LEIVA THIS SATURDAY NIGHT AT BALLYS IN ATLANTIC CITY
FIGHT CARD TO BE STREAMED LIVE ALL OVER THE WORLD ON GFL.TV
ATLANTIC CITY (August 16, 2012)--Thomas "Cornflake" LaManna of Millville NJ will
step back into the ring this Saturday at Bally’s Atlantic City when he squares
off against battle tested Cuban Yolexcy Leiva, (5-3, 3 KO’s) in a six round Jr.
Middleweight bout.
The show is promoted by John Lynch’s
Pound For Pound Promotions.
LaManna, 20, was originally scheduled
to fight on the July 27th but due to a death in the family, as well
as numerous opponents pulling out, LaManna was left without an opponent.
"It sucks when you trained so hard
for all those weeks and the sacrifices you have to make, only to end up not
fighting. It’s a part of the business" LaManna said with a grin on his
face. Just days before the 27th, LaManna
lost his Uncle, who he was very close with. "Losing my Uncle Al took a
huge toll on me and my family, but I have to stay strong and grind it
out".
LaManna has no doubt in his mind that
this fight with Leiva will be his toughest to date. Leiva, 33, of Nashville, TN now residing in
Brooklyn NY is coming off of a first round TKO defeat to Undefeated prospect
Frank Galarza (7-0)That fight took place on June 8th in Woodhaven, NY. In his
fight before that, Leiva upset than undefeated local favorite Benny Costantino,
7-0.
.
LaManna is coming off a six round

"I want to thank John Lynch and

Ponte and Gulfstream Promotions for putting me on this very special card. I
promise I won’t let my fans, my family, my uncle, but most importantly myself
down".
