To our loyal fans:
That feeling of anticipation, that pit in your stomach, that extra bounce in your step, it's all part of what hardcore boxing fans call fight week. We're just three days away from the most highly-anticipated event of the year in New England and we can hardly contain our excitement here at Team CES.
We've talked about this card and what it has to offer from top to bottom. We've heard from Providence native, U.S. Olympian and former world champion Demetrius "Boo Boo" Andrade, who plans on stating his case as the No. 1 junior welterweight in the world. We've heard from Philadelphia's "Hammerin'" Hank Lundy, who not only plans on winning a world title at 135 pounds, but plans on taking over the 140-pound division as well. We also checked in with undefeated prospect Khiary "Too Sharp" Gray from Worcester, Mass., who looks to make it 10-0 Saturday night.
There are many reasons to make sure you're in attendance this weekend at Mohegan Sun Arena, but perhaps the most important fact we've failed to mention is its historical significance. I've watched Demetrius fight since he was a kid in the gym just looking to get his start. From the beginning, I knew he'd be a world champion and I watched proudly as he accomplished his dream in 2013.
Sometimes this sport is unfair. It's cruel. It's difficult to grasp. Demetrius has dealt with his share of ups and downs, but he's handled the adversity like a man, taking accountability for his actions and working every single day to be a better fighter and person. I have no doubt whatsoever he will reclaim the 154-pound world title, perhaps by the end of this year, and I think we'll one day look back on Saturday night as the turning point in his brilliant career.
The same can be said for Hank, who has dealt with losses in and out of the ring, rising as high as No. 1 in the world to falling out of the rankings. But he won't quit. Tell him he can't accomplish something and he'll work twice as hard to prove you wrong.
Three titles are on the line Saturday. Demetrius fights for the WBO and WBA International Titles and Hank fights for the vacant WBC Continental Americas Title. You know the stories, you know their backgrounds and you know what's at stake. Demetrius Andrade will be a world champion again. Hank Lundy will be a world champion. They've worked too hard to not make it to the top of the mountain.
As I've said before, it's rare to see two fighters at the top of the sport on the same card. It's so rare you might not see it again. No one knows for sure what's next for either Demetrius or Hank, but this might be your last chance to catch them right here in New England before the demands of this sport pull them in different directions. Don't miss out on this opportunity. Don't miss out on history. When Hank Lundy and Demetrius Andrade wrap those championship belts around their waist, be there to witness that moment, because it's not everyday you see it up close and personal.
This sport needs throwback fighters like Demetrius and Hank. We have them. Let's show them our love and support Saturday night.
Much respect,
Jimmy

2 October, 2015 – TWO CHARGED WITH STEALING A CAR AND TRYING TO RUN DOWN A POLICE OFFICER
At about 5:00 PM, a car was reported stolen with the keys from Main Street. An hour later, Officers Marco Correa and Bleck Joseph spotted it parked on Star Street near Winchester Avenue.
The Officers drove past it and positioned their cruiser to block it in. They got out and approached the occupied vehicle. The juvenile behind the wheel didn’t want to stick around and drove toward Officer Joseph, nearly striking him. The car thief struck the police car during their get-away.
The Officers went searching for the car but couldn’t find it. Sometime later, several callers to 911 reported there was a car that’d crashed into a wall and traffic sign at Cold Spring and Canner Streets. It was the car they’d been looking for.
Officers searched the area and found two young men walking on Mitchell Drive near Anderson. Witnesses ID’d them as having fled from the crashed car. The two juveniles (each seventeen) were charged with criminal attempt to commit assault on a Police Officer, auto theft and motor vehicle offences.
2 October, 2015 – FOUR CARS BROKEN INTO AT AMITY PLANET FITNESS
Early-evening break-ins have Police issuing warnings to Planet Fitness patrons.
At about 6:00 PM, the first of four break-ins were reported to Police. All of the cars broken into were parked in the parking lot adjacent to the Planet Fitness Gym, located at 160 Amity Road. One was unlocked and three had their windows broken.
Police have not yet been able to view any potentially helpful video from the area but are hopeful some will soon be available. In one case, a credit card stolen from one car was used at a Target store in North Haven. The thief was able to charge $1,900 on the card before the card company questioned the transactions and notified the victim.
This is not the first time this particular gym’s patrons have been targeted and this is a reoccurring and common crime at gyms and fitness centers across the country. The reason is clear – a distrust of locker-room security leads people to leaving their valuables in their cars.
Experienced thieves can perpetrate such seemingly brazen daylight break-ins in seconds. They’re adept at intruding without making a lot of noise and somehow remain unsuspicious to passers-by.
These lowlifes will case the lot for the ideal targets. Often they’ll watch as people remove their cell phones or wallets and place them above their visor, in the glove compartment or under a seat. The victims think no one is watching but couldn’t be more wrong.
The crime prevention tip regarding such cases is this; Don’t leave valuables in your unattended car and report suspicious people to Police.
2 October, 2015 – ALCOHOL-FUELED DOMESTIC DISPUTE DISCOVERED DURING GUNFIRE INVESTIGATION
At 8:34 PM, Officers were dispatched to Howard Avenue at Second Street to investigate reported gunfire.
A lightbulb beneath the awning at the corner store was apparently shot out. No one was struck.
As Officers investigated, they found a couple embroiled in a domestic dispute. The couple had been outside during the gunfire but at least the female was too drunk to provide any constructive information. The woman was arrested for her involvement in the dispute but was taken to the hospital after complaining she was suffering an asthma attack.
Witnesses reported the gunman was likely an occupant in an older model four-door Honda.
3 October, 2015 – MAN ROBBED OF HIS CREDIT CARDS
Just before midnight, a man was robbed of his wallet containing credit cards. The victim told Police he’d been confronted by two black men at Olive and Chapel Streets. He said they indicated they were armed but never displayed a gun.
He said once the men had his wallet, one punched him in the eye and back of his head.
One of the perps wore a black leather jacket. The other, an orange coat. The cowardly crooks fled southbound on Olive Street.
4 October, 2015 – TWO MEN SHOT DURING ROBBERY
Things didn’t go too well for two Hamden men leaving an illegal “After Hours” spot early Sunday morning.
At 4:26 AM, Officers responded to a reported shooting at 578 George Street. Once there, they learned there were two victims and that each were taken to the St. Raphael’s campus of Yale – New Haven Hospital by private car.
At the hospital, Detectives spoke with the two victims. Forty-one year old Harry Brunson and thirty-seven year old William Hobson, both from Hamden, CT, had suffered non-life threatening injuries.
The men told Detectives they’d left the after-hours club and were heading to Hobson’s car when a group of men ran up to them. They demanded Williams and Brunson hand over their valuables and cash. The victims said they started fighting with the crooks and someone pulled a gun. Brunson was shot in the leg. Hobson’s wound was a graze – also to his leg.
The perpetrators stole the men’s wallets, phones and keys before making their get-away in William’s white Volvo. About an hour later, Officers from the Hamden Police Department recovered the Volvo. It was unoccupied.
The NHPD is looking for two black men who’s ages weren’t estimated. One stood 6’02” and wore a dark colored hooded-sweatshirt. He had a gun. His partner in crime was shorter – about 5’10”. He wore a beige T-shirt. The men face charges including first degree assault, robbery and reckless endangerment.
Providence native and former U.S. Olympian and World Boxing Organization (WBO) Junior Middleweight world championDemetrius Andrade returns to the ring for the first time in 16 months on Saturday, Oct. 17th, 2015 at Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, Conn.
“It’s been a year and a half now,” Andrade said Tuesday during a press conference at the Rhode Island State House. “Fourteen, 15 months of me not in the ring showing and displaying my true talents and what I can do for the sport of boxing, but now I have the privilege to be here in Connecticut, Mohegan Sun, 45 minutes away where you can come see me put somebody to sleep, hopefully.”
The undefeated Andrade (21-0, 14 KOs) will fight for the vacant WBO International Junior Middleweight title in the main event of a card promoted by Jimmy Burchfield’s CES Boxing in association with Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing and Artie Pelullo’s Banner Promotions.
Tickets for the event are priced at $25.00, $50.00, $125.00 and $200.00 (VIP) and available for purchase online at www.cesboxing.com or www.mohegansun.com,www.ticketmaster.com, by phone at 401-724-2253/2254, or at the Mohegan Sun Box Office. All fights and fighters are subject to change.
“A lot of people still don’t know who Demetrius is,” Burchfield said. “There are a lot of people who’ve been waiting for Demetrius to fight in this area. No matter where I go they ask me when ‘Boo Boo’ is fighting here. First of all, I want to thank Art Pelullo and Banner from Philadelphia and Joe DeGuardia and Star Boxing from the Bronx.
“There are promoters that work together. Not all of them, but there are some promoters that are the best in the business and they work together for the benefit of the fighter. Everyone understands that’s why we’re here at the State House today. That’s why I wanted to have this here at the State House, because this state belongs to Demetrius ‘Boo Boo’ Andrade. He is going to be our franchise. Soon, everyone will know what they’ve been missing.”
QUOTES:
GARY BALLETTO
“Demetrius Andrade was training in my gym when I was fighting on ESPN2 every other month and I used to line up my sparring partners and when Demetrius was 14 or 15, he’d be one of the guys in the lineup to spar with. I used to get so frustrated because I couldn’t hit this guy. I couldn’t hit this kid! It took me until he got real tired to land a punch on him. He’s been so naturally gifted since the day he started. I always tell my son, because he has natural defense, you have to have a natural defense and a natural ability before you ever start boxing and you can tell where they’re going to go with it. Demetrius, to me, is the best fighter in the world. He’s the best. I could put him in with any fighter in his weight division in the world and I would bet whatever I have on him.”
PAUL ANDRADE
“I want to set something a little straight here. Jimmy was generous to our promoters and they allowed it, but this was Jimmy’s doing. They offered us a fight in Russia, a fight over here, we said, no, we’re fighting at home, and if they can’t do it, we’ll see Jimmy. So I went and saw Jimmy, we had a nice little meeting and thanks to Jimmy, we’re here.”
DEMETRIUS ANDRADE
“First of all, I want to thank everyone for coming out, and CES Boxing for putting the show together. October 17th. It’s been a year and a half now. I don’t know, 14, 15 months of me not in the ring showing and displaying my true talents and what I can do for the sport of boxing, but now I have the privilege to be here in Connecticut, Mohegan Sun, 45 minutes away where you can come see me put somebody to sleep, hopefully.
Before that, I want to let people know a true champ is someone that stays in the gym 24/7. A true champ is somebody that dedicates his time and efforts to whatever it is that’s going to make him better in and out of the ring. I haven’t fought in 16 months, but I’m in the gym helping out Nick DeLomba get some sparring for his fights, Thomas Falowo – anybody in New England that needs help, I’m there for them. I traveled to Vegas to help Shawn Porter get ready for his fight against Kell Brook, and much more just so I can stay sharp and so that once this opportunity came to me I wouldn’t have to get ready to fight. I’m already ready to fight.
For all of you young fighters here and all of the dreams and goals you have in your mind, set them up, visualize them, accomplish them. Accomplish what you want to do in this sport of boxing. It’s rough and it’s tough. Gary Balletto, he’s been in it. He knows I’ve been it since I was ye high. The reason I didn’t want him hitting me is because I didn’t want to get hit. That boy hit hard! I was dipping and dodging those punches. The things I’ve seen him do to everyone else, hell no.
I do want to thank my dad, Paul Andrade, for sticking it out and making sure I had everything I needed to prosper in the sport of boxing. Even though we had our ups and downs, we’re back together because there’s nothing more important than family. I also want to thank Ed Farris. He’s been with me since I was 14 years old. I came to a time and point in my life where I needed some real help. He made it happen for me, man. I’m living good, I made some good investments and now I’m just ready to fight man. I can’t wait to put on a fresh pair of gloves.

1 September, 2015 – ARMED CROOK ARRESTED AFTER ROBBERY
At about 1:00 AM, Officer Jacob Cedeno was dispatched to an Elm Street apartment to speak with someone reporting he’d been robbed.
In all, there were three victims. The men told the Officer they’d stopped to look at a bureau left curbside near their apartment. As they were deciding whether or not to take it, they were confronted by a man who brandished a revolver. They said the gunman pointed it at them and ordered them to hand over their valuables and phones. The crook reportedly had each victim unlock their phones and provide him with their passwords.
One by one, they handed the demanded items over to the robber. He left in car described by one of the victims as possibly being a dark colored Toyota Corolla. Two men who were waiting for the robber at the car. They left with him and were last seen heading north on the Ella T. Grasso Boulevard.
The victims described the robber. He is a black man who stands about six feet tall – perhaps a bit shorter. He has an average build. He wore black clothing including cargo-shorts. He had on a “White Sox” logoed baseball cap.
An attempt at tracking one of the victim’s phones equipped with a locating app proved futile as the thief had turned it off. An hour or so later, however the phone was on and was sending a signal. It was near Morse Street in the Newhallville neighborhood. The victim sent Officer Cedeno a screenshot of the ping and Cops converged on the area. Hamden Officers joined in as the “ping” was near the town line and on the Farmington Canal Trail.
As Officer Cedeno arrived in the area, he spotted a dark colored Honda occupied by three men. It was parked on Morse Street. As he cruised by, two of the men got out. The Officer did to after radioing his location. As Officer Cedeno spoke with the two suspects, Officers Jose Luna and Christopher Landucci pulled up to the car and its remaining occupant. A “White Sox” baseball cap was on the dash. Upon further inspection, they spotted the stock of a gun sticking out from beneath the driver’s seat.
The men were all handcuffed and the Officers began searching the car. They recovered a .380 caliber model P380 Davis Industries handgun. It was loaded and chambered and stuffed in the rear pouch of the driver’s seat. The gun beneath the seat was a .38 Smith & Wesson revolver – also loaded. Cash was on the seat. They found a cap with fake dread-locks sewed into it (perhaps a disguise) and a black ski mask. They found a wallet and a bunch of phones. Three Apple I-Phones and an HTC Cricket were either in, beneath or near the car.
The victims positively identified Karis Westley (1-17-1993) as the armed robber. Westley, a convicted felon, was arrested and charged with first degree robbery with a firearm, conspiracy to commit first degree robbery with a firearm, weapon in a motor vehicle, second degree larceny, conspiracy to commit second degree larceny carrying a pistol without a permit and criminal possession of a firearm. His pals were arrested too. Rajoun Julious (1-25-1992), also a convicted felon, was charged with conspiracy to commit first degree robbery with a firearm, weapon in a motor vehicle, second degree larceny, conspiracy to commit second degree larceny carrying a pistol without a permit and criminal possession of a firearm, possession of a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance with the intent to sell. Robert Fairweather (6-30-1992) was charged with conspiracy to commit first degree robbery with a firearm, weapon in a motor vehicle, second degree larceny, conspiracy to commit second degree larceny and carrying a pistol without a permit.
The guns weren’t reported stolen. The car wasn’t registered and was impounded.
