Lights Out Productions, a locally-run company, is unveiling a boxing card called “Destruction On The Diamond” this Saturday at Cene Park.  Jake Giuriceo will headline the card as he takes on Ramesis Gil in the main event.

Giuriceo was unsure who he would be fighting until Sunday when Gil was named his opponent.  Mike Cefalde and company have scoured the talent pool in finding a good foe for Giuriceo, who returned from California late Saturday night.

Giuriceo (12-0) has been working with Frank Duarte on the West Coast.  “It’s good that Jake is getting some work with Frank [Duarte]”, echoed Cefalde.  “He is sparring some of the best competition in the world while he is there and Frank is really working hard to sharpen him up.”

Gil, who is a Dominican fighting out of Puerto Rico is 6-2-4.  His only two losses came to a fighter who was 17-0 and a 12-round decision loss to an opponent with a record of 12-0.  He beat a fighter with a 7-1 record last time out with a first round barrage to earn a quality knockout over a quality opponent.

A co-feature on the card, pits popular Cleveland  native Miguel “Silky Smooth” Gonzalez (18-2, 4 KO’s) against Tyrone Harris (24-7).  These two light welterweights should have quite a battle.  Cefalde hinted that Gonzalez will bring quite a following from Cleveland and said landing him for this particular card was huge.

Chris Koval, of Austintown, gets back into the ring after 14 months of inactivity.  Koval returns in much better condition, down about 75 pounds, for his fight against James Porter.  Koval comes in with a record of 24-7 with 18 KO’s.

Besides the Koval – Porter heavyweight battle, there are two more matches scheduled for the big boys.  Nicolai Firtha squares off against Ross Thompson in a six-round match.  Jasson Massie will step in to face Mujaheed Moore in a four-round heavyweight fight.

Aaron Dufour and Paul Parker will meet in a light heavyweight match.

Also set to compete on the card are light middleweight, Dante Moore, and Nicole Woods, a female lightweight (not against each other).

Tickets are $15 for bleacher seats, $25 for general admission, and $50 for ringside.  You can get tickets at Patsy’s, Crickets, Dona Vito’s, and the Wine Cellar.
