LaManna takes unanimous decision from Flores PhilBoxing.com Tue, 31 Jan 2017 Atlantic City, NJ (January 30, 2017)--Thomas "Cornflake" LaManna looked sharp as he pitched a shutout, and won a 8-round unanimous decision over Eduardo Flores in front of a capacity crowd at the Claridge Hotel in Atlantic City. The fight was the 6th consecutive sellout crowd at the venue under the Rising Promotions banner. LaManna used his length, and was effective with his jab as he set up solid body work with both hands and came upstairs to befuddle the 53-fight veteran. LaManna settled into a groove in the middle rounds, and showed confidence in his punches. LaManna did a nice job mixing up his boxing and his willingness to trade on the inside, for which he got the better of the action on both accounts. "I felt great being back in the ring. My last fight defiantly taught me a lot about myself and what I could do and I used it in this fight. This guy is tough man, I had him hurt quite a few times with both body and head shots but he somehow survived," said LaManna.

Mitchell of Paterson, New Jersey won by scores of 60-53, 58-56 and one card read even at 57-57. Mitchell is 4-7-2. Mussachio of Wildwood, NJ is 19-4-2.
