The final bell rings on FloSports FIGHTNIGHT LIVE Season Five this Friday, as the popular series Powered by Everlast presents an exciting slate of matchups leading up to action live on SHOWTIME® for the third time in its history.
Early action opens on FloCombat and Facebook at 6:40 p.m. live from Wind Creek Casino in Bethlehem, featuring some area Kings Promotions favorites looking to set the tone for a great night of boxing.
“FIGHTNIGHT LIVE is excited to deliver some of Marshall Kauffman’s up-and-comers on Friday evening, setting the stage for what will be a fantastic SHOBOX: The New Generation® card,” said Mark Fratto, Principal and Director of Business Development, Linacre Media.
“It’s our pleasure to set the table with these young warriors and working in conjunction with Showtime is always such a thrill. Siddique Farooqi and NY Fights founder Michael Woods will call two hours of action as we round out our fifth season, which featured 12 shows over the past 14 months and gave more than 200 fighters the opportunity to showcase their hard work and talent.”
Additional FIGHTNIGHT LIVE programming – such as event previews, some undercards and highlights – will be available through the FIGHTNIGHT LIVE Facebook channel, which boasts nearly 88,000 fans and almost 100,000 followers, and on the Everlast page which is followed by more than 441,000.
In the FIGHTNIGHT LIVE Main Event on Friday, Bethlehem’s own Jonathan Rodriguez (12-1-1, 4 KOs) looks to continue his hot streak and delight his local fans by posting his sixth-win in his hometown venue – the test this time will be veteran Ira Terry (28-23, 16 KOs) of Memphis, TN. Popular area pugilists James Bernadin (9-0-1, 6 KOs), Thanjae Teasley (4-0, 2 KOs), Steven Torres (5-0-1, 5 KOs) and Salita Promotions’ Moses Johnson (9-0-1, 7 KOs) look to defend unbeaten records in separate bouts. Three outstanding contests follow the FloCombat Broadcast, airing exclusively on Showtime.
