This 10 Round main event is part of Atlantic City’s first ever Multi-Cultural Heritage Festival which includes an All Star Boxing Legends Gala the following night. With legendary names like Mike Tyson, Larry Holmes and "Joltin" Jeff Chandler floating around town, Mr. Hasson will have the perfect setting to show case his crowd pleasing brawling boxing skills. Mr. Hasson better not underestimate the hard hitting Mr. Armenta or he could find himself on the wrong end of a big right hand. Mr. Armenta has 11 ko’s in his 14 victories so anything can happen!! The 8 round co-main event on this "Summer Super Brawl" fight card features Philadelphia’s super bantamweight "Pretty Boy" Coy Evans (10-1-1/2 ko’s). Mr. Evans has shown a lot of early promise and his skills have been steadily sharpened but finding quality opponents in that weight class will be a real challenge for matchmaker Nick Tiberi. The exciting undercard will be filled with action packed fighters led by heavyweight Joey "The Polish Thunder" Dawejko (6-0-1/2 ko’s). At 5’10 - 235 pounds, the 21 year old Mr. Dawejko presents big problems for any opponent and any ring looks small when he steps through the ropes. This card also sees the return of both light heavyweight Frankie "The Freight Train" Filippone (9-2-0/2 ko’s) and fellow Norfolk, VA stablemate heavyweight Dorsett Barnwell (6-0-0/2 ko’s).
