In life, especially in boxing, it is rare when you come across a person who shares many of the same similarities as you do. Although Joe DeGuardia, CEO and founder of Star Boxing, and Mills Lane, founder of Let's Get It On Promotions, are decades apart in age, and come from completely different backgrounds, their path into the world of boxing is strikingly similar and are good examples of successful and accomplished people in the sweet science.

Curtis "Showtime" Stevens (21-2, 15KO) and Jesse Brinkley (34-5, 22KO) both weighed-in today in anticipation of their upcoming super middleweight showdown tomorrow night in the main event on ESPN's "Friday Night Fights" from the Grand Sierra Resort and Casino in Reno, NV. The bout is an Official IBF eliminator for the number two ranking in the super middleweight division. Also at stake will be Brinkley's WBC USNBC super middleweight title. The card, promoted by Joe DeGuardia's Star Boxing and Let's Get It On Promotions, will also feature live coverage of Star Boxing's up and coming welterweight prospect, Raymond "Tito" Serrano (11-0, 6KO) taking on Ronnie Warrior Jr. (13-2-1, 4KO) in the co-feature. Below are the official weights for all four fighters.

Tonight, Joe DeGuardia, CEO of Star Boxing and President of the newly formed Boxing Promoters Association, will be on "Through the Ropes" the #1 boxing new radio show in the nation!
