Check it out…the CES folks in Rhode Island are tonight (Thursday, Dec. 7, 2017) celebrating their 25th anniversary as a company.
Promoter Jimmy Burchfield, and all his alumni, and his staff and fighters should be proud. This evening, I will be saying as much on the Facebook Fightnight Live stream, a free stream, which kicks off at 7:55 PM ET.
Please do find a screen, any screen, and log on! Please do share, on Twitter, Instagram, TwitGram or whatever you use, the link to the stream, if you don’t mind. We are growing the Facebook Fightnight Live series, and want to be able to show as much boxing, which maybe wouldn’t have otherwise been televised, to the world.
And…Poke me on Twitter if you like…@Woodsy1069…I will read Tweets and give shoutouts to you, or your worthy cause, or give a Happy Birthday shoutout during the show tonight!
