Hutchinson embarks on comeback

Press Release: Zeferino Entertainment has announcec the signign of junior middleweight Joe Hutchinson (33-4-2, 15 KOs), who is best remembered for ESPN televised fights in 2000 against Arturo Gatti and Hector Camacho Jr.  Although he came up short in those fights, he gave Gatti a tough battle and Zef Ramirez feels confident that the Indianapolis native will not fall short if given another opportunity. “To be honest, I am very excited to finally get Joe Hutchinson.  He is definitely one of the elite fighters in his weight class.” Hutchinson last fought in 2004 against Bobby Elkins, and is coming into this comeback with an impressive eight fight winning streak since his last loss to Ricky Hatton back in 2002.  He is expected to take on his first fight under the Zeferino Entertainment banner before the end of the year. Zeferino Entertainment has also inked popular cruiserweight Jim Strohl (27-4, 21 KOs).  Strohl briefly flirted with heavyweight contention before losses to Cedric Boswell and Calvin Brock stopped his momentum back in 2003.  However, the conventional wisdom is that Strohl was fighting too heavy, so his career could have new life when Strohl resumes his career against smaller opponents.
