PARALLEL WORLDS COLLIDE
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.
Below let's look at a tale of the tape of the two men.
JOE DEGUARDIA
-Born Bronx, NY
-NY Golden Gloves Welterweight Champion 1988
-Graduated Hofstra Law

MILLS LANE

Tonight on ESPN's "Friday Night Fights" both DeGuardia and Lane's parallel worlds collide as Curtis "Showtime" Stevens (21-2, 15KO), promoted by Joe DeGuardia, and Jesse Brinkley (34-5, 22KO), promoted by Let's Get It On Promotions, square off in what is a must see match-up of two exciting super middleweight contenders, fighting for a chance to earn a shot at the World Championship.
*Note Let's Get It On Promotions is now run by Mills two sons, Terry and Tommy. Mills suffered a stroke in 2002 and has since undergone extensive therapy. Although some of the effects of the stroke are permanent, Mills has continued to lead an active life.
