Weights for Home Invasion at the Twin River Casino featuring Vladine Biosse

The weights are in, and, as the old saying goes, the hay is in the barn. The only thing left is for the bell to ring, kicking off Providence’s newest Thursday-night attraction.

On Thursday, March 22nd, 2012, Jimmy Burchfield’s Classic Entertainment & Sports will launch its 2012 Thursday Night Fight Series at the Twin River Event Center in Lincoln, R.I., with “Home Invasion,” the first of four Thursday-night boxing shows scheduled in the next three months.

“This is going to be a spectacular event,” Burchfield said. “We’re thrilled with the card we’ve put together and the feedback from boxing fans has been tremendous.”

“Home Invasion” features the long-awaited return of super middleweight Vladine Biosse (11-1-1, 6 KOs) of Providence, R.I., who will face George Armenta (14-7, 11 KOs), a dangerous veteran from Silver Spring, Md., in the six-round main event; while New Bedford, Mass., welterweight Jason “School Boy” Pires (22-4-1, 9 KOs) – an active member of the New Bedford Police Department and SWAT Team – will face Eddie Soto (12-3, 4 KOs) of Pawtucket, R.I., in a six-round special attraction.

Fan-favorites Alex Amparo (2-0, 1 KO) of Providence and Benny Costantino (7-0, 4 KOs) of Warwick, R.I., will also return to Twin River following victories in October. Costantino, 40, will continue his comeback in a four-round super middleweight bout against Yolexcy Leiva (4-2, 3 KOs) of Nashville, Tenn.; Costantino’s victory over Odias Dumezil in October was his first fight in 10 years. Amparo will be featured in a four-round bout against Spencer, Mass., newcomer John Downey, formerly a competitor in mixed martial arts.

Unbeaten middleweight prospect Thomas Falowo (5-0, 4 KOs) of Pawtucket will face Troy Artis (3-2-1, 2 KOs) of Bronx, N.Y., while light welterweight Carlos Hernandez (1-2) of Bridgeport, Conn., will battle Robert Brando-Hunt (0-1) of Hyannis, Mass., who is searching for his first professional win. Female welterweight Aleksandra Magdziak Lopes (5-1, 1 KO) of Quincy, Mass., will face Ashleigh Curry (4-6-2, 1 KO) of St. Joseph, Mo.; and, in a separate four-round bout, New Bedford welterweight Johnathan Vazquez (4-1-1, 3 KOs) will face Pawtucket’s Jeff Anderson, a mixed martial arts veteran making his professional boxing debut.
