Cleveland,
OH – May 7, 2012 – Card set for historic night at “BATTLE IN THE BALLROOM
VI” this Friday. Mother-Son to fight on same show, plus exciting 10-bout card
scheduled.
For the first-time anywhere in the
history of USA Boxing, the evening will see a mother and son fight on the same
card, when Gia Genco-Brown and Vincent Brown step into the ring to become the first
ever mother and son to fight on the same show!
Mother Gia Genco-Brown of Cleveland
will meet up with Angel Francisco of Louisville, KY in a women’s bout. Son
Vincent Brown will face Devonerce Mccullough of Cleveland in a preliminary high-school
bout. Both are newcomers to the sport, trained and coached out of Bill
Godhard’s West Side Boxing Club.
Greg Gilbert
(WSBC/Norwalk) meets up with E. Michigan Golden Glove Champion Lawrence
King (ABAA/Bay City, MI) in a 132-pound scrap. Gilbert
has earned a reputation for his toughness and bringing his exciting
“ALL-ACTION” style to the ring.
An intriguing heavyweight bout between
boxer Alante Green (Empire BC/Cleveland)
and mixed martial artist Jeff Hughes (Evolve
MMA/Canton) is also on tap.
This historic 10-bout card will take
place at a fitting location, the “Historic” Slovenian Nat’l Ballroom. Built by
immigrants in 1924, it was designated a Cleveland landmark in 1984.
“The “Historic” Slovenian Nat’l
Ballroom is an amazing venue to showcase Cleveland’s top talent and we’re
thrilled to be back for this historic event. The crowd is electrifying, and the
intimacy of the venue makes everyone feel a part of the show,” said Kincaid.
