Edited Press Release: Although Mike Arnaoutis and Malachy Farrell both lost in Atlantic City on Friday, there was still some bright spots on the show for Star Boxing, as Ray Robinson and Eric Hunter both posted victories on the undercard.

"Is that really your name?" It's a question the Philadelphian has become all too familiar with. It's a big burden to carry, but the new Ray Robinson (3-0, 0 KOs) seems up to the task. Roberto Acevedo now (1-1- 1), Robinson's opponent Friday night is now a believer.

In the first round, Robinson engaged Acevedo and was dropped hard when a big left hand from Acevedo found its mark. Robinson survived the onslaught from Acevedo and made it to the end of the round. He evened the score in the next round when body shots sent Acevedo to the canvas. Robinson continued to dissect Acevedo with his body attack forcing Acevedo to resort to flagrant holding. Acevedo was later disqualified for excessive holding giving Robinson a hard earned victory.


Eric "The Outlaw" Hunter (7-1, 3KO's) dominated Vineash Rungea (2-7-2) over six rounds. Rungea came out to the ring animated and confident of a victory. Shades of Naseem Hamed, the charismatic Rungea came out wearing Blues Brother type shades, and danced down the aisle to calypso/reggae style music. In the ring it was Hunter who did all the dancing.

From the opening bell Hunter displayed his superior hand speed and technique. On many occasions, Rungea would pull out of the inside exchanges and Hunter would capitalize by whacking him with hard shots to the head.
