Kevin Johnson to headline in Atlantic City

Press Release: On Friday November 7th at the Bally's Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, NJ, Joe DeGuardia's Star Boxing returns for the second time in three months. The entire card will be broadcast live on GoFightLive.tv.  In the main event of the evening, rising heavyweight Kevin "Kingpin" Johnson (20-0-1, 7 KOs), last seen on September 5th stopping Bruce Seldon the fifth round, will take on Matthew Greer (12-3, 11 KOs) in a ten-round. The co-feature is a welterweight showdown of New Jerseyans. Trenton's Terrance "Heat" Cauthen (33-4, 9 KOs) takes on Atlantic City's own Shamone "The Truth" Alvarez (19-1, 11 KOs). In Alaverez's last fight he took on now IBF welterweight king Joshua Clottey, losing via unanimous decision over twelve rounds.

"We are back once again and we expect yet another fantastic show on November 7th," stated Joe DeGuardia, CEO of Star Boxing. "We have gotten such positive feedback from the shows we did in May and September we just had to do at least one more show before the new year. We are working on some very big things for him. We are hoping to get him in an eliminator for the number one spot soon and feel very confident matching him up against any of the heavyweight champions. In the mean time, rather than wait around we want to keep Kevin busy, and we think the fight with Greer is going to be very entertaining as he likes to come straight forward and bang. Kevin has said these are the type of fights he wants to be in, so he can show the boxing world he is just not a one dimensional fighter with a great jab. Don't get me wrong, Kevin's jab is unlike any other's, but as you saw in his last fight with Bruce Seldon, Kevin does have very good power and when he wants to step on the gas and bring the fight to you, he can, and has promised he will once again on November 7th."
