Campbell, Chattelle jump right back into action on Feb. 8 cagefighting show

CES Boxing, MMA, Spinal Injuries No Responses »

Apr 072011

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (April 8, 2011) – Fresh off impressive wins in front of a
sold-out crowd at Twin River, two of New England’s biggest names in mixed
martial arts are ready to step back into the cage for arguably the toughest
test of their careers.

Lightweight* Mike “The Beast” Campbell* of Providence, R.I., and Pawtucket,
R.I., middleweight *Todd “The Hulk” Chattelle* return to action *Friday,
April 8th, 2011*, at the Twin River Event Center in Lincoln as Jimmy
Burchfield’s Classic Entertainment & Sports presents “Cage Of Pain.”

Campbell (9-3, 6 KOs) recently knocked out *Mike Medrano* in the opening
round of their rematch at Twin River on Feb. 25 in the main event of CES
“Rhode Rage” show and will now face *Tony “Lionheart” Hervey* (12-9, 8 KOs)
in the main event April 8th, while Chattelle (7-6, 7 KOs), who beat *Woody
“The Dynasty” Weatherby* on the undercard of “Rhode Rage,” will step in
against *Jeff “Scary Nickname” Nader* (4-3, 3 KOs) of Plymouth, Mass.

“Mike and Todd are among the most popular, well-respected fighters on the
mixed martial arts circuit today, and it’s an honor to have them back on
this exciting card on April 8th,” Burchfield said. “Mike took care of
business in a major way on Feb. 25 with a convincing win over Mike Medrano,
proving, once again, why he’s become a household name in this sport.

“And what more can you say about Todd Chattelle? No one gave him a chance
against Woody Weatherby. Woody had wins over UFC veterans on his resume, and
Todd was considered by some to be nothing more than an another opponent, but
on Feb. 25 Todd showed us why you never doubt the heart of a champion,
scoring a major upset victory in front of his loyal fans.

“When you think of CES MMA, you think of competitive fights, sold-out venues
and the best in sports entertainment. We’ve set the bar high, and we’re
committed to raising it even higher each and every time our fighters step
into that cage.”

The undercard of “Cage Of Pain” features welterweight *John Manley* (5-1) of
Uxbridge, Mass./Team Link facing *Jason “Ba Bu” Trzewieczynski* (4-5) of
Lancaster, N.Y./Buffalo Training Center; *Darrius Heyliger* (1-0) of
Courtland, N.Y./Bombsquad facing Brockton, Mass./Cape Cod Fighting Arts
welterweight *Pierry Pierre* (2-1); and Woonsocket, R.I./B+F Boxing
lightweight *Justin Switzer* (0-3) aiming for his first win against *Billy
Walsh* (1-5) of South Burlington, Vt./United Fighting Arts. There are also
three fighters making their professional debuts, including lightweights *Jon
Marcheterre* of Southbridge, Mass./Mixed Breed and *Brandon Rooney* of
Milford, Conn./Ultimate MMA in their respective debuts, and featherweight *Al
Jamain Sterling *of Courtland, N.Y./Bombsquad in his debut against *Matthew
DiMarcantonio* (0-1) of Lancaster, N.Y./Buffalo Training Center.

Last, but certainly not least, middleweight *Adam Quitt* (0-2), a
firefighter from Framingham, Mass., will step into the cage in honor of the
late *Doug Bolanes Jr.*, representing Team Never Surrender and the Doug
Bolanes Foundation. Bolanes Jr., 22, of Framingham died March 10th in an
automobile accident. He fought on two CES shows, including his pro debut in
December of 2010 at Twin River and a knockout win over *Stephen Stengel* at
“Rhode Rage.”

For Campbell (Team Sityodtong/Tim Burrill), this is a major step up in
competition following his impressive win over Medrano. Hervey, who trains
out of Detroit, Mich., with the Stealth Squad, has a deep-rooted background
that also includes two bouts as a professional boxer. Hervey won the King of
the Cage lightweight championship with a win over *Victor Valenzuela* in
2009 and made seven additional appearances on KOTC cards. His most recent
win was a knockout of *Scott Bickerstaff* 17 seconds into the opening round
of their bout at the KOTC: “Underground 56” show in May of 2010. With two
power punchers of this caliber butting heads in the main event, the match-up
between Campbell and Hervey could end with a bang – literally. Campbell
finished off Medrano with a series of left hooks just 1:46 into their
rematch on Feb. 25 and has now knocked out his opponent in three of his last
four victories.

Chattelle’s road to victory April 8th won’t be any easier; Nader lacks
Chattelle’s experience, but has similar power with three knockouts in four
professional wins. All of Nader’s knockout victories have come in the
opening round with the lone exception being a unanimous decision win over
Jose Lopez in 2009. Nader recently handed *Dustin Baker* his first
professional loss via a second-round knockout at CES’ “Cage Of Horrors” show
in October of 2010.

Chattelle’s power could be the equalizer; a knee to the face opened a
vicious cut over Weatherby’s eye in their Feb. 25 showdown, causing the
referee to stop the bout less than a minute into the opening round. To date,
the win over Weatherby is the trademark victory in Chattelle’s career. Nader
trains with the Cape Cod Fighting Arts team while Chattelle represents Team
United.

Tickets for “Cage Of Pain” are $30.00, $50.00 and $100.00 and can be
purchased by calling CES at 401.724.2253/2254, online at www.cesboxing.comor
www.twinriver.com, at the Players Club booth at Twin River, or through any
TicketMaster location. Doors open 6 p.m. with the first bout scheduled for
7.
