Issouf Kinda vs. Mike Arnaoutis - Star Boxing
By Media Report on Doghouse Boxing (Oct 12, 2012)
-
NEW YORK, NY (October 12, 2012) Having presented many years of world class musical performances, this
Saturday night, OCTOBER 13, the NYCB Theatre at Westbury will play host
to "WESTBURY WARS", a sensational evening of action packed professional boxing promoted by Joe DeGuardia's Star Boxing.
The ten round main
event will see undefeated African native, now based in New York City,
Issouf Kinda battling former world title challenger and perennial
contender "Mighty" Mike Arnaoutis in a bout contested for Kinda's New
York State Junior Welterweight Title.
With his sensational
boxing skills honed through an illustrious amateur career, the
24-year-old Kinda has impressed the knowledgeable boxing fans in the New
York City area since turning professional in 2009.
Compiling a record of
14-0-0 (5KO's), Kinda will be making the first defense of the New York
State Title, which he earned with an eight round shutout performance on
MAY 2 against Luis Rodriguez at Russo's On The Bay in Howard Beach, NY.
Born in Athens,
Greece, Arnaoutis is among the toughest veterans in the junior
welterweight division. Included on his ledger are battles with notable
world champions and world ranked contenders including Delvin Rodriguez,
Victor Ortiz, Danny Garcia, Kendall Holt, Ricardo Torres, Juan Urango
and Demetrius Hopkins.
Most recently, the
33-year-old Arnaoutis has looked very impressive; winning a unanimous
decision over Shakha Moore on FEBRUARY 10 at the Mohegan Sun Casino and
stopping Broderick Antoine on MAY 2.
Said DeGuardia,
'There's been a great buzz about the Kinda/Arnaoutis fight since we
announced it. Kinda is a terrific looking prospect with a wealth of
potential, however Arnaoutis is a much more experienced veteran who is
looking at this as an opportunity to put his name in the mix for bigger
fights if he can defeat Kinda. There's a great deal at stake for both
guys."
In the eight round welterweight co-main event at "WESTBURY WARS",
popular undefeated Long Island knockout artist Cletus "The Hebrew
Hammer" Seldin will look to stay unbeaten against Chicago based spoiler
Carl 'The Assassin" McNickles.
The 26-year-old
Seldin, 8-0-0 (5KO's) has turned heads with his stunning knockouts over
the last fifteen months. His last three bouts have ended in the first
two rounds, culminating in a brutal first round knockout of heralded
Puerto Rican prospect Jonathan Garcia on JULY 28 at the sold out
Paramount in Huntington.
Sporting a record of
8-3-0 (6KO's), the 28-year-old McNickles has faced numerous undefeated
prospects across the country. In his last outing at Madison Square
Garden on MARCH 17, he battled New Jersey's Danny McDermott over six
rounds winning a hard fought decision in a terrific back-and-forth war.
"Everyone on Long
Island knows about Seldin's power and how exciting he is to watch but
McNickles is very confident and fearless about fighting on the road. We
expect fireworks in this bout from the opening bell" said DeGuardia.
Also featured in a
six round junior welterweight tilt is a clash between Bayan "The
Mongolian Mongoose" Jargal and Newburgh, New York native Luis Rodriguez.
Currently residing in
Arlington, Virginia and sporting a record of 15-3-3 (10KO's), Jargal
looks to get back on the winning track following a ten round decision
loss to undefeated prospect Chris Algieri on NOVEMBER 19 at The
Paramount in Huntington, New York, a bout which was broadcast
internationally on Azteca America.
The 24-year-old
Rodriguez, 6-5-1 (1KO), has become well known in Puerto Rico and the New
York City area for his aggressive, all-action style of fighting.
Also appearing at "WESTBURY WARS" is popular Huntington, New York based newcomer Alan Gotay. The
22-year-old made his pro debut on the Star Boxing 20th Anniversary Show
on JULY 28 knocking out Ian James in the first round at The Paramount.
In a scheduled four junior welterweight bout, Gotay will face off against Alberto Manukyan, 0-1-0, of Jersey City, NJ.
Prior to the pro fights, three amateur bouts will kick off the card.
