?Last Man Standing? card changes PhilBoxing.com Fri, 01 Oct 2010 Saturday night at Foxwoods Resort Casino MASHANTUCKET, Conn. (Sept. 30, 2010) ? Due to a commission doctor requirement, 3-time world title challenger ?Sucra? Ray Oliveira has been forced to withdraw from Saturday night?s main event fight against Joey ?KO Kid? Spina on the ?Last Man Standing? card in Fox Theater at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Conn. ?Last Man Standing? is being presented by Jimmy Burchfield?s Classic Entertainment and Sports, Inc. (CES), in association with Foxwoods Resort Casino. CES has been granted permission by the commission to secure an opponent for Spina (25-1-2, 17 KOs), who is the No. 6 rated light heavyweight by the World Boxing Association. ?Ray was cleared by a neurological specialist but the commission demanded a second test that wasn?t cleared,? CES president Jimmy Burchfield explained. ?Ray did everything and more during this process and he was probably in the best shape of his career. One doctor said his blood pressure was unbelievably good. Ray Oliveira is a warrior who was 100-percent prepared, mentally and physically, to fight Saturday night. We?re working feverishly to find a suitable replacement for Spina, who doesn?t care about his new opponent, only that he?s fighting in the ring Saturday night.? Final Presser & Official Weigh-In Friday Afternoon at Foxwoods The final press conference and official weigh-in for Saturday night?s ?Last Man Standing? show will be held tomorrow (Friday, Oct. 1), starting at 3 PM/ET in Fox Theater at Foxwoods Resort Casino.

Espinal (8-15-3, 4 KOs) in a non-title fight. Biosse, a native of Cape Verde, is one of the hottest prospects on the East Coast coming off impressive wins by 8-round unanimous decisions against Joey McCreedy on ESPN2 Friday Night Fights and Ibaheim King.
