Jenn Perella shines, Bobby Laing stops Russ Kimber in 1st round

QUINCY, Mass. (May 20, 2026) – The star of last Saturday night’s “Rumble at the Rink II,” presented by Granite Chin Promotions, was clearly 2-time New England Golden Gloves Champion Jenn Perella (5-1, 1 KO).

Perella, the runner-up in the 2024 National Golden Gloves Tournament, lives in nearby Milton and packed the house with family and friends at Quincy Youth Arena in Quincy, Massachusetts. The thunderous ovation she received going into the ring was just the start from her supporting fanbase.

Perella out-boxed flyweight Kate Radomska, fighting out of Waterford, Ireland, consistently beating Radomska to the punch with an obvious quickness of hands advantage. Radomska, though, proved to be the toughest opponent yet for Perella, the 42-year-old mother of two.

Their fight was competitive and entertaining, despite the fact Perella won each round for a 6-round unanimous decision, by scores of 60-54 three times.

“I want to thank everybody here, especially my hockey players (including her son, their strength-and-conditioning coach who watched her fight live for the first time),” former college field hockey player Perella said after the fight. “It was awesome; I know it sounds crazy, but when I heard them during my walk to the ring, I felt like I’ve made it. Everybody came out to support me.

“I always feel that I can use my jab better. I always give 100-percent but nick pick after every fight, win or lose. My coach told me to jab more but I didn’t do it enough, because everything comes off my jab. My son and daughter had never seen me fight live (she had previously fought at 21+ venues). They were there tonight with my husband and father. My father was at every field hockey game I played, home or away, and he’s been at every one of my fights.”

The main event on this pro boxing card, technically speaking, was contested for the GCP Midget Wrestling Championship, refereed by special guest Butterbean, Walter defeated Cambodian Dragon for the title.

Rough N’ Ready graduate Bobby “Lights Out” Laing, fighting out of Braintree (MA), rushed across the ring at the sound of the opening bell and bombarded Peabody’s Russ Kimber, whose father and uncle were World Kickboxing Champions. Laing exploded punches all over Kimber’s body until he finally went down to his knees. He wasn’t able to beat the count and was knocked out at 1:16 of the first round.

“I came out and he caught me with a good right hand,” Laing explained. “I knew I was in a fight and I started punching him to the body over and over until he went down.”

Kingston middleweight Rich Allen improved his record to 3-0 (3 KOs), flooring pro-debuting Azemir Campos, Jr. with a body shot, to close the show at the 48-second mark of the opening round with a right to the head.

Hometown favorite heavyweight Peter “PJ” Campbell had the crowd cheering early and often as the union laborer, Local 695, fighter fired powerful shots against Felipe Soares Da Silva. The 6’ 7”, 292-pounder from Quincy used his 88-pound advantage to improve to 2-0 via a 4-round unanimous decision.

California junior middleweight Luis Valentin turned in a memorable pro debut, flooring Tymar Miles four times in the opening round, enroute to a second-round stoppage when Miles landed on the canvas for the final time

The night started with a 4-round middleweight bout in which The Bronx’ Israel Bailey pitched a shutout, winning each round on the three judges’ scorecards, for a unanimous decision victory against an overmatched Jay Gregory.

Jenn Perella excited to be fighting in front of family & friends on ‘Rumble at the Rink II’

QUINCY, Mass. (April 13, 2026) – Former Endicott College varsity field hockey player, Jenn Perella, returns to the ring on May 16th for her sixth professional boxing match on the “Rumble at the Rink II” card, presented by Granite Chin Promotions, at the Quincy Youth Arena in Quincy, Massachusetts.

Fighting out of Milton (MA), Perella (4-1, 1 KO) is matched against Irish featherweight Kate Radomska, in a 6-round bout. Perella, 42, was a decorated amateur boxer who won a silver medal at the 2024 National Golden Gloves Tournament, as well as capturing top honors at the 2016 New England Golden Gloves.

Due to COVID restrictions, Perella didn’t fight for 5 years until she got the boxing bug again in 2023, when she was preparing for the Haymakers For Hope charity event. Now, she’s training to fight less than 5 miles from her home, and she’s super stoked.

“My last fight was at Encore (Boston Harbor) in Everett,” said Perella, who is a personal trainer and event planner. “That was close to home but Quincy is even closer to Milton. This means a lot to me because a lot of people will be coming out to support me. I’m feeling good and I want to put on a show for everybody. I’ve got a really good fan base that supports me and my crazy dreams. And kids can come to watch me fight (May 16), unlike at Encore (21+ only). I train players on a youth hockey club that my son (Joseph) plays on. My children – Julianna and Joseph were only 3 and 2 when I started boxing – are 15 and 13 now. They’ve always wanted to come to my fights, but kids weren’t allowed at the venues I fought in. Their parents have supported me and now their children will, too. It’s going to be very familiar to me.”

Jenn’s father, Ricky McCormack, has always been front at her sporting events. He’ll be at a front row table with Jenn’s husband, Boston Fire Department Captain Anthony Perella, and their children, Julianna and Joseph.

“My father has always been there for me,” Jenn noted. “He always gives me a hug before I get into the ring. He gets so nervous for me. My husband worked the corner for two of my fights and he’s always there supporting me. This will be the first time my children watch me fight in person. I guarded them but they understand more what their mother does now.”

“I’ll be a little nervous leading up to the fight because I want to do so well. I’m ready! I know some people will be there supporting me – win or lose – who haven’t been able to watch me fight before. Many have supported me since I started, so I know that I’m going to see a lot of familiar faces.

“This will also be my first fight since I signed with Granite Chin Promotions. I’ve fought on (Granite Chin promoter, also from Quincy) Chris’ (Traietti) cards before, but he has taken a leap of faith by signing me, and I feel a little bit of pressure for that reason.”

Former world-ranked boxer Ryan “The Polish Prince” Kielczweski (31-6, 11 KOs) is making a comeback after a four-year layoff to headline “Rumble at the Rink II” in an 8-round junior welterweight bout against an opponent to be announced.

A standout amateur boxer with a 118-26 record, garnering runner-up honors at the 2008 National Golden Gloves and earning two New England Golden Gloves titles, 36-year-old MBTA police officer Kielczweski won his first 22 pro bouts between 2008 and 2015. The lifelong Quincy resident hasn’t fought at home since December 10, 2016, and May 16th will mark only his third pro career fight at home.

In a crossroads fight between Massachusetts light heavyweights, Braintree’s Bobby “Light Out” Laing (2-0, 2 KOs) and Salem’s Russ Kimber (3-3, 1 KO), will throw-down in a 4-round match.

All the action will be streamed on www.BXNGTV.com live from the Quincy Youth Arena.
