Hard Hitting Promotions Fight Night Preview

Hard Hitting Promotions returns to the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia on Saturday, August 11th. The ten bout card features a ten round main event match up in the super middleweight division between Derrick Webster (26-1, 13 KOs) and Les Sherrington (37-10, 21 KOs). South Jersey's Webster has won seven straight bouts since dropping his one and only bout as a professional to Arif Magomedov in 2015. Sherrington, a native of Australia, has won two straight bouts heading into this fight.

Philadelphia's Eric Hunter (21-4, 11 KOs) makes his return to the ring, after dropping a unanimous decision fight to Lee Selby in 2016, against Fatiou Fassinou (28-10-3, 15 KOs). Fassinou has lost his last four contests by unanimous decision, the most recent coming earlier this year in April. The two fighters will square off in a six round fight in the featherweight division.

The card also features two of Philadelphia's young lightweight prospects Branden Pizarro (10-1, 4 KOs) and Jeremy Cuevas (9-0, 7 KOs). Pizarro will face Puerto Rico's Hector Marengo (7-12-4, 4 KOs) in a six round contest. Cuevas is scheduled to fight Deo Kizito (3-3, 2 KOs) in a six round contest.

Lightweights Samuel Teah (13-2-1, 6 KOs) and Zack Ramsey (8-3, 4 KOs) will square off in a six round bout. Teah, who resides in Philadelphia, is looking to win his second straight fight. He last defeated Orlando Rizo in March of this year. Ramsey is looking to bounce back from two straight losses in 2017 and 2018.

Veteran cruiserweight and former light heavyweight champion, Prince Badi Ajamu (29-4-1, 15 KOs) makes his return to the ring against Kenny Cruz Carasquillo (2-2-1, 2 KOs). Ajamu had a busy 2017-2018, fighting three times, after returning to the ring after an eight year layoff. Carasquillo looks to win his third straight fight in the six round contest.
