Former WBC super welterweight world champion Tony “Superbad” Harrison (28-3, 21 KOs) will enter the ring to face hard-hitting southpaw Bryant “Goodfella” Perrella (17-3, 14 KOs) in the super welterweight main event on FOX April 17 from Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in Los Angeles.
Undefeated rising contender Omar “El Relampago” Juarez (10-0, 5 KOs) stepping up versus veteran Jessie Roman (22-4, 11 KOs) in the 10-round super lightweight co-main event. The telecast opener will see the return of 18-year-old Vito Mielnicki Jr. (8-0, 5 KOs) against James Martin (6-2, 0KOs) in an eight-round welterweight matchup.
Upset Special ** Perrella in 6. Bryant Perrella is being trained by Roy Jones Jr.
I once saw Harrison as an outstanding prospect. Good handspeed, good power, tremendous jab…I thought he could go a long way, until I saw him take it on the chin. I still think he’s very good….I thought he could have beaten Charlo the second time if he just tweaked a couple things, and I think he’ll beat Perrella, but I would hesitate putting money on him. Very good skills, unreliable chin. Same applies to Julian Williams, who I’d like to see Harrison fight next if he gets past Perrella.
Perrella will be fighting Williams next, AFTER he knocks out Harrison.
