Sure, she’s beautiful. Hell, we see that daily on “The Young and the Restless” where she stars as Leslie Michaelson. But this isn’t new as we’ve had a thing for actress Angell Conwell from the moment she initially stepped into our adult consciousness and refused to leave after her sexy turns in Baby Boy and The Wash. But don’t think for a minute that the South Carolina is relatively new to the scene, as she has been putting in serious work over the years. Don’t believe me?  Then scroll back through your mental rolodex to a little show called “Dave’s World,” where Conwell successfully starred for 3 seasons. (yeah, I’m guilty … I watched it too.) to read more http://rollingout.com/photos/celebrity-photos-photos/yr-star-angell-conwell-shoots-for-rolling-out-exclusive-photos/

LINCOLN, R.I. (July 27th, 2013) – No sooner had he wrapped the belt around his waist than Rich Gingras found himself empty-handedSaturday night in one of the wildest finishes in the history of Rhode Island boxing.

 

Shortly after it was announced Gingras (13-3-1) had dethronedVladine Biosse (15-2-2) to capture the New England Super Middleweight Title in the main event of Jimmy Burchfield’s Classic Entertainment & Sports’ “Game On” show at Twin River Casino, the Rhode Island Athletic Commission admitted it miscalculated the scores and that the bout had actually been scored a majority draw, allowing Biosse to escape with his title.

 

Judge Glen Feldman’s score was originally counted as 77-76 in favor of Gingras, which, at the time, gave Gingras a 77-76, 77-75, 76-76 majority decision win. Feldman actually scored the bout 76-76, matching Wayne Lima’s score, resulting in a majority draw.

 

The fight itself was as good as advertised with both Gingras and Biosse trading blows non-stop for eight rounds. After a slow first round, the action picked up in the second and never waned until the final bell. Gingras was the aggressor for most of the fight, utilizing wide hooks and uppercuts to slow Biosse, while Biosse spent the latter half of the fight with his back to the ropes slugging his way out of trouble. Neither fighter worked to establish his jab, instead punching and counterpunching with sheer force for eight rounds.

 

The co-feature had its own controversy as Jersey City, N.J., middleweight Chris Chatman (11-2-1) edged hometown favoriteThomas Falowo (10-2) of Pawtucket, R.I., 77-75 on all three scorecards. Similar to the main event, both fighters slugged it out for eight rounds. Chatman started strong as the aggressor, but Falowo fought back and showed incredible stamina by turning the tide in the final three rounds. The difference was a knockdown scored by Chatman in the fourth in which he picked himself off the canvas following a questionable knockdown and caught Falowo on the temple with a wide, left hook. Falowo sputtered backward and crashed to the canvas. Visibly hurt – and upset – Falowo punched canvas before getting back on his feet.

 

Making his Twin River debut after having just fought eight days ago in New Hampshire, Russell Lamour (5-0) of Portland, Maine dominated Woonsocket, R.I., veteran and fan favorite Joe Gardner (11-7-1), stopping Gardner 38 seconds into the sixth and final round after sending Gardner to the canvas three times.

 

Lamour scored the first three knockdowns in the closing seconds of the third, fourth and fifth rounds with vicious body shots, and ultimately went to the body again at the start of the sixth to finish Gardner for good. The win was Lamour’s second in eight days – both by knockout – while Gardner lost his second consecutive fight.

 

Female bantamweight Marcia Agripino (1-0) of Groton, Conn., made a strong impression in her professional debut, sending Brooklyn, N.Y., veteran Vanessa Greco (1-3-3) to the canvas within minutes of the opening round and ultimately coasting to a 40-35, 40-35, 39-36 unanimous decision win. Hartford junior welterweight “Jabbin’” Joe Wilson (1-0)73413_444224092342517_1801886356_n.jpg also dominated in his debut Saturday, outworking the tough Saul Almeida (0-3) of Framingham, Mass., to earn the unanimous 40-36 decision on all three scorecards.

Also on the undercard, Providence super middleweight KJ Harrison-Lombardi(2-2) remained unbeaten with a 39-37, 40-36, 40-36 unanimous decision win over Boston’s Maceo Crowder (2-2).

HARD-HITTING CHRIS Chatman of Jersey City, N.J., will return to Twin River Casino in Lincoln, R.I., for the first time in two years on Saturday, July 27th, 2013when he faces fan-favorite Thomas Falowo of Pawtucket, R.I., in the eight-round co-feature of Jimmy Burchfield's Classic Entertainment & Sports' "Game On" professional boxing event.


Falowo preps for opportunity of a lifetime this weekend against brash, hard-hitting Chatman

 

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (July 24th, 2013) -- You'd be hard-pressed to find anyone in the sport of boxing as soft-spoken as middleweight prospectThomas Falowo.

 

Not this week.

 

As Falowo (10-1, 7 KOs) prepares for his showdown against Jersey City's Chris Chatman (10-2-1, 5 KOs) -- his toughest test to date --Saturday night in the eight-round co-feature at Twin River Casino, the Pawtucket, R.I., native is fully aware he and Chatman could steal the show from headliners Rich Gingras and Vladine Biosse.

 

"No offense to Biosse or Gingras," Falowo said, "but this fight could be the main event!"

 

He's right.

 

The Falowo-Chatman showdown has all the makings of a throwback fight, reminiscent of the days when New Bedford's Ray Oliveira used to break CompuBox records for punching volume. Neither fighter shies away from contact. Falowo's sheer output has overwhelmed some of the region's top middleweights, including Julio Garcia and Tylon Burris. Coupled with Chatman's aggressive style, this figures to be a fan-friendly fight worthy of main-event status despite being somewhat overshadowed by the New England Super Middleweight Title bout between Biosse and Gingras in the main event.

 

"Game On," presented by Jimmy Burchfield's Classic Entertainment & Sports, features six dynamic bouts, including the professional debut of highly-touted Groton, Conn., female bantamweight Marcia Agripinoand the return of popular Woonsocket, R.I., super middleweight Joe Gardner (11-6-1, 1 KO).

 

"Hell, this fight should be pushed to the main event," Chatman said. "I will definitely come out with the win, and I plan to win convincingly or with a knockout.

 

"There won't be a point when I'm not in control. I will overwhelm Falowo. This is going to be a night to remember."

 

Chatman has certainly earned the right to be confident. He actually debuted at Twin River in 2009 when he faced former U.S. Olympian and current undefeated junior welterweight prospect Demetrius Andradeof Providence in what turned out to be the toughest test of Andrade's young career. At the pre-fight weigh-in, Chatman warned Andrade to "take heed" and promised a war. Andrade won by unanimous decision, though many felt the fight was much closer than the scores indicated. Some, including Chatman himself, actually felt Chatman won the fight.

 

"I have no malice toward Andrade. After all, he didn't score the fight, so there's no reason to be upset with him," Chatman said. "What I remember most was his home town cheering for me."

 

Chatman made such an impression on the Rhode Island crowd that he returned to Twin River two years later with a fifth-round knockout win over Rahman Yusobov.

 

"The fans cheered me coming and going," Chatman recalled. "When news came that I was going to be on this next card, the responses were amazing, with a whole lot of, 'I'm definitely coming to see that!' Chris Chatman is a ticket-seller because I put on great fights for great people. I look forward to hearing from my fans in Rhode Island."

 

Now Falowo will be challenged with defending his home turf; he's fought eight of his 11 fights at Twin River with an impressive 7-1 record in those fights. Saturday will also be his first scheduled eight-round bout, which could put his stamina and conditioning - two attributes never in question with Falowo - to the ultimate test.

 

"I've been fighting for a couple years now and I'm finally at the point where I'm one of the featured fights," Falowo said. "Every fight is important, but this is definitely a major one to me. This is a step up in competition, as well as the number of rounds, and I'm prepared for both."

 

Added Chatman: "Thomas is a good guy. The last time I was in Rhode Island [in 2011] we chatted for a bit and he seemed likeable and respectful. I think he's a great athlete, but only a good boxer. His athleticism carries him in a match to the point where keeping up at his pace will drown the average boxer. I won't have that problem. I can keep up with that pace and even push it."

 

The feel appears to be mutual; Falowo respects Chatman's ability having seen him up close and personal -- and having faced a common opponent in Yusubov, whom Falowo knocked out in four rounds -- but it'll be business as usual Saturday night.

 

"Chatman is a solid fighter," Falowo said. "He's strong and can box and has an aggressive, which, combined with my style, will make for a fan-friendly fight."

 

The main event between Providence's Biosse (15-2-1, 7 KOs) and Pawtucket's Gingras (13-3, 8 KOs) will be for Biosse's New England Super Middleweight Title, which he has successfully defended three times since winning it in 2010. Gingras, a former contestant on the reality television series The Contender, is aiming for his third consecutive win and his fourth in his last five fights.

 

Gardner will face Portland, Maine prospect Russell Lamour (4-0, 2 KOs) in a six-round super middleweight bout while Agripino will face Brooklyn's Vanessa Greco (1-2-3). Providence super middleweight KJ Harrison-Lombardi (1-0) will make his Twin River debut against Boston's Maceo Crowder (2-1) in a four-round bout. "Game On" will also feature the professional debut of Hartford light middleweight"Jabbin'" Joe Wilson Jr., who will battle Saul Almeida (0-2) of Framingham, Mass., in a four-round bout. All fights and fighters are subject to change.
