He fought in 11 Rough N\u2019 Rowdy fights \u2013 it was very popular in the South \u2013 and when it dissolved, he turned pro in boxing and has had 2 fights to date.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRough N\u2019 Rowdy was my amateur boxing,\u201d correction officer Laing said. \u201cI\u2019ve carried my popularity into boxing. I hope to be 3-0 after this fight and keep going from there. I want to keep winning and position myself for a big fight. I was known as a brawler, but I\u2019ve changed my style.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think this fight will be pretty fast paced. There are only 4 rounds and no time for feeling out. We\u2019ll start fighting and keep it going all the way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kimber has a much different fighting background than his opponent in their scheduled 4-round fight on May 16. The fitness instructor who lives in Salem and has strong roots in Peabody is a \u2018legacy\u2019 fighter. His father, Dick \u201cThe Destroyer\u201d Kimber, and his uncle, Tommy \u201cThe Terminator\u201d Kimber, were legendary kickboxers from Lynn (MA). Dick and Tommy, respectively, were three and five-time world champions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve carried on the Kimber name because I\u2019m a fighter,\u201d Russ explained, \u201cbut I\u2019m different from them because I\u2019m a boxer and they were kickboxers. I\u2019ve taken my own path.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know my opponent was in \u2018Rough N\u2019 Rowdy\u2019 and that he\u2019s working on his game and craft. I think he\u2019ll come out aggressively until he starts to tier. From his \u2018Rough N\u2019 Rowdy\u2019 days, I expect him to come out swinging. I plan to use my boxing skills from the outside. I adapt to my opponent, so I\u2019ll go inside and see how he handles that. I never go into a fight looking for a knockout, I just land my punches.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Former world-ranked boxer Ryan \u201cThe Polish Prince\u201d Kielczweski (31-6, 11 KOs), four years since his last fight, returns to the ring to headline \u201cRumble at the Rink II\u201d in an 8-round junior welterweight bout.<\/p>\n<p>A 36-year-old MBTA police officer, Kielczweski was a standout amateur boxer with a 118-26 record, winning silver at the 2008 National Golden Gloves and earning two New England Golden Gloves titles. He won his first 22 pro bouts between 2008 and 2015. The lifelong Quincy resident hasn\u2019t fought at home since December 10, 2016. May 16th will be his third pro career fight at home.<\/p>\n<p>Another local favorite, Milton (MA) Junior featherweight Jenn Perella, fighting out of nearby Milton, faces Kate Radomska, of Waterford, Ireland. She was a silver medalist in the 2024 National Golden Gloves Tournament, as well as a 2016 New England Golden Gloves Champion.<\/p>\n<p>All the action will be streamed on www.BXNGTV.com live from the Quincy Youth Arena.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Shirley Jones  (The Jones Girls &amp;
