Return of 3-time world title challenger Aleksandra Lopes Headlines Granite Chin Promotion's "Championship Boxing at The Armory" PhilBoxing.com Thu, 01 Nov 2018 Nov. 21 at National Guard Armory in Dorchester, MA QUINCY, Mass. (November 1, 2018) -- The return of three-time world challenger Aleksandra Lopes will headline "Championship Boxing at The Armory," presented by Granite Chin Promotions (GCP), Thanksgiving Eve (Wednesday, Nov. 21), at the National Guard Armory (70 Victory Road) in Dorchester, Massachusetts. Many of New England's most talented and popular boxers will be on the card, which will also feature a Massachusetts State title fight in Granite Chin Promotions' third and final show of 2018. "We are excited to be running once again on Thanksgiving Eve," said GCP co-promoter Chris Traietti, who will also be fighting on this card. "Throughout the last few years, Granite Chin has been trying to make it a Thanksgiving tradition to bring local boxing to the area as a fun way to get people together." The wildly popular Lopes (18-4-3, 1 KO), fighting out of Marshfield, MA, is a native of Poland. She hasn't fought since last December due to injuries suffered in a car accident. Lopes will face Missouri welterweight Ashleigh Curry (7-11-4, 1 KO) in the six-round main event. Former N.E. welterweight champion Derek "The Surgeon" Silveira (14-2, 7 KOs), fighting out of Salem, MA, takes on Mexican veteran Franciso "El Mono" Medel (12-15, 8 KOs) in the six-round co-featured event. Iraq-War veteran Traietti (26-5, 21 KOs), of Quincy, MA, will not have his N.E. cruiserweight title on the line in a six-round bout versus upset-minded Sam "The Russian Concussion" Horowitz (6-3-2, 5 KOs), of Chicago. Claremont, NH favorite Ricky Ford (3-1-1, 1 KO) will meet Saul Almeida, of Woburn, in a four-round middleweight match. Travis Demko (8-1, 1 KO), of Stoughton, MA, takes on Brazilian Carlos Gallindo, fighting out of Woburn, MA, in a six-round match for the vacant Massachusetts State Welterweight Championship. World Boxing Council (WBC) Latino cruiserweight champion Vinnie "American Dream" Carita (18-1-1, 17 KOs), a court officer in Brockton, MA and Pembroke, MA resident, squares off with 61-fight veteran Steve "The Spoiler" Walker, the former Mid-West middleweight titlist, in an eight-rounder. Gloucester, MA super middleweight prospect Henry Gedney (1-0), a winner at the 2017 Rocky Marciano Tournament, is scheduled to fight Francisco Neto (1-0), of Woburn, in a four-round bout to open the show. Providence middleweight Anthony Concepcion (1-0, 1 KOs), trained by newly crowned World Boxing Organization (WBO) World middleweight champion Demetrious "Boo Boo" Andrade, tests himself against former Pacific Coast lightweight champion Roberto "El Viejo" Valenzuela in the four-round opener.
