'Big Things' card featuring Olympians Estrada & Alfonso Nov. 10 in Providence PhilBoxing.com Wed, 17 Oct 2012 Past Olympians Jason 'Big Six' Estrada & Robert Alfonso in action Nov. 10 in Providence PROVIDENCE (October 16, 2012) -- "Big Things" features a pair of highly-decorated heavyweights, 2004 U.S. Olympian Jason "Big Six" Estrada (19-4, 5 KOs) and 2008 Cuban Olympian Robert Alfonso in his pro debut, on November 10 at the Rhode Island Convention Center in Providence. Longtime Providence favorite Estrada faces veteran Galen "Bad Boy" Brown (38-20-1, 23 KOs) in the eight-round main event. Estrada has won his last three fights against Alex Gonzales, Dominique Alexander and Joseph Rabotte. Brown has been against former world champion Hasim Rahman, world title challenger Mariusz Wach, and former Russian titlist Andrey Fedosov. "We're very happy to cap our first year as a promotional company with the 'Big Things' card on November 10th," Big Six Entertainments president Artie DePinho said. "We've brought back entertaining, competitive boxing to Providence. Jason is getting closer and closer to a big fight. He's making some noise in the heavyweight division. Jason has developed into a more complete fighter, showing improved power that complements his great boxing skills. Alfonso's pro debut, the return of top prospect Toka Kahn-Clary, and an undercard made up of fan favorites complete a solid top-to-bottom card." The 25-year-old Alfonso is a 6' 4", 220-pound 2007 & 2008 Cuban National champion, who captured gold medals at the 2008 AIBA World Cup and 2009 Pan-American Games.
