More than six years have passed since Peter Manfredo Jr. knocked out fellow Providence native Joey Spina on national television at The Dunkin' Donuts Center in what was, at the time, Rhode Island's biggest turf war.

As they prepare to face one another again Friday, March 15^th, 2013 at the Twin River Event Center in the latest chapter of their longstanding rivalry, both Spina (26-3-2, 18 KOs) and Manfredo Jr. (38-7, 20 KOs) are dealing with the fact there's much more at stake now than there was the first time they fought in 2006.

The pressure's higher than ever; Manfredo Jr., now on his second fight since returning to professional boxing in November, will turn 33 later this year, while Spina, coming off consecutive losses for the first time in his career, is 35.  Time is no longer an ally, and a loss March 15^th could derail both fighters in what is shaping up to be their final run at championship glory.

 

I feel great! I've been working with new trainers (Alex & Albert Rivera) from Rivera Brothers Boxing Gym.  Things are really starting to come together and I am looking forward to putting on a show for my fans, friends and family come March 15th!!!  Plan on seeing a new and improved Kevin Cobbs in the ring that night!!!

Gotta give a shout-out to the whole GiTiG family and all that support me, cause I fight for you!!!
