June 8th at The Paramount in Huntington, NY, was set to be a battle for bragging rights between Long Island super lightweights Anthony Karperis and Danny Gonzalez. However, Karperis suffered a hand injury while training, rendering him unable to fight. With a vacant spot in the “Rockin’ Fights” main event, Justin Savi (31-16-2, 21 KOs) answered the call to take on Queens fan favorite Gonzalez (15-1-1, 6 KOs) in a ten-rounder to save the June 8th date.

Joe DeGuardia had this to say about the new main event, “It is always unfortunate when a fighter suffers an injury leading up to a big fight. We wish Anthony Karperis the best and a quick recovery, as we look forward to his return.” DeGuardia continued, “with Justin Savi stepping in to face Danny Gonzalez, the Long Island fans will not be disappointed. Savi will bring great veteran experience and pose a great test for Danny Gonzalez, who looks to continue to grow his Long Island fan base, and take the next step forward in his career. Fight night is just over a week away, so be sure to get your tickets now.”
