A Message from the President
Friends, Family, Fans:
I hope everyone is braving the final stage of winter! Here at CES things are really heating up as we get ready for the big boxing card at Twin River Casino on March 15th when "The Pride of Providence" Peter Manfredo Jr. (38-7, 20 KO) takes on Walter Wright (14-3, 7 KO). Both fighters were contestants on the hit boxing reality show "The Contender" and this main event will live up to AND exceed expectations! I hope to see all of you there!
Much Respect,

Walter Wright (14-3, 7 KOs), a Seattle, Wash., native and former quarterfinalist in Season 2 of The Contender, hasn't fought since a six-round unanimous-decision win over Joshua Snyder in 2010, but he's remained active throughout his layoff, most notably as a training partner for James Kirkland during his preparation for bouts against Alfredo Angulo and Carlos Molina, which were held in 2011 and 2012, respectively. Wright had also been preparing for his own comeback in June against Omar Henry, but that fight fell through at the last minute.
In 2006, Wright won his opening bout on Season 2 of The Contender in convincing fashion, beating Andre Eason 50-44 on all three scorecards before losing in the quarterfinals to future world champion Cornelius Bundrage. Later that year, Wright returned for the Season 2 finale at the Staples Center in Los Angeles and defeated fellow castmateVinroy Barrett by fourth-round knockout. Proving his success under the bright lights was no fluke, Wright faced off against then-unbeaten junior middleweight Dan Wallace in January of 2007 on ESPN2's Friday Night Fights and scored a knockout win in the eighth and final round.

This past weekend CES Boxers Sheltio "Shelly's Way" Vincent (8-0) and Jimmy Williams (2-0, 1 KO) were both in action at the MGM Grand at Foxwoods. The fight card was co-promoted by DiBella Entertainment and rap mogul 50 Cent's SMS Promotions. 
Shelly won a unanimous decision, picking up every round against Mikayla Nebel.
Williams, who made his professional debut in January on NBC Sports, had his second fight broadcasted live on ESPN's Friday Night Fights. Williams won 40-36 with all three judges against Georgia's Raynard Younger. |
Benny Costantino (7-2, 4 KO) breaks down all the diet myths that won't die!
1) Carbs do not make you fat - extra calories do.
2) Ab exercises do not trim your waisteline
3) Many smaller meals will not speed up metabolism
4) Protein shakes do not make bigger muscles
5) Want bigger muscles? Exercise less, but harder
Check out the Boss on March 15th when he returns to the ring!

Fights are being announced for CES MMA's next fight card on April 12th at Twin River Casino.
That night you can see CES champion John "Doomsday" Howard as well as a special rematch between Todd "The Hulk" Chattelle and Dennis Olson, on a night when both fighters will celebrate their 20th professional bout! While these may be some of the bigger names on the card, it's the match up of Dinis Paiva Jr. and undefeated Kin Moy that seems to be grabbing the headlines!
This past week, the fighters took to social media to announce their feelings on this upcoming fight:
Dinis Paiva: "Looking forward to the fight. Kin is a warrior and an all-around humble guy. Let's give the fans a hell of a show! I consider it an honor to be with you in that cage doing what we do best. Let's give the MMA world something to see!"
Kin Moy: "Dinis, we had to do a lot of thinking when we decided whether I was ready to step up to this level of competition. I'll be training harder than ever and I know that you always bring it. People will NOT forget this fight!"
