\"58cb1c02-e759-4ce1-bace-6a4ab4b2d102\"<\/a>This Saturday night at The Claridge Hotel, Thomas “Cornflake” LaManna will take on battle tested Eduardo Flores in a junior middleweight bout that will headline an eight-bout card.<\/p>\n

The card is promoted by Rising Promotions<\/p>\n

LaManna of Millville, New Jersey has a record of 21-2 with 9 knockouts, and wants to avenge his September 15th defeat to Dusty Hernandez Harrison. But first he must get past the 52 fight veteran Flores.<\/p>\n

“Flores has been in with numerous world champions,” said LaManna of Flores, who has competed with the likes of Kermit Cintron Carlos Baldomir and Diego Chaves. “He is a rugged veteran, and has only been stopped a handful of times, and the last time that happened, he was fighting a middleweight. He will come to fight. I am looking to one-up all the champions that he has fought.”<\/p>\n

To do that, LaManna is looking to take a relaxed approach, and he is not going into the fight looking for a knockout.<\/p>\n

“I believe in my boxing skills, ring generalship and I will get the job done. I plan a smart 8 rounds of boxing. It will be exciting because it will be packed inside The Claridge. I am looking to get this win and get back to a rematch with Dusty. Even though this fight is at junior middleweight, I am a welterweight, and I want that rematch.”<\/p>\n

“I had an amazing training camp. The loss to Harrison made me hungrier, and that has motivated me even more than before.”<\/p>\n

This will be LaManna’s fourth appearance at the Claridge. This will be ths 6th sold-out show and LaManna’s relationship with the hotel is helping a rebirth of boxing in Atlantic City.<\/p>\n

“I have a great team behind me. The Claridge has been great to work with and we are planning four more big shows here this year.”<\/p>\n
