No disrespect to Joshua Clottey, but he is the opponent in this fight. Manny Pacquiao is undeniably a phenomenon in professional boxing at the moment, and while this is an extremely viable top welterweight fight and a stiff challenge, it has the feel of a stay-busy fight for the pound-for-pound king. That goes a long way to attest to Pacquiao’s prominence at the moment as Clottey is a top contender in a division the ‘Pacman’ has only fought twice in.

By FightFan News Wire (12-Mar-2010)

New Jersey heavyweight Mark ‘Oak Tree’ Brown plans on proving to Tony ‘TNT’ Grano that lightning can indeed strike twice when the two battle Friday night in the ten-round main event on a card presented by Jimmy Burchfield’s Classic Entertainment & Sports, Inc. (CES), in Fox Theater at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Conn.

Brown-Grano is a rematch of their Sept. 27, 2008 bout in which Brown (15-2, 7 KOs) overcame two knockdowns to stop Grano (16-1-1, 13 KOs) in the eighth round. A 2005 U.S. National Championships winner and National Golden Gloves Tournament runner-up, the Hartford-based Grano is coming off of a career-changing knockout of previously-undefeated Travis Kauffman (18-0) last September.
