Micky Scala dominates Braulio Rodriguez on April 18th

New York (April 24, 2026) — Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing enjoyed a standout weekend across the country, as rising prospects Alex Vargas (15-0, 5 KOs) and Micky Scala (13-1, 7 KOs) each delivered statement victories on back-to-back nights.

On Friday night, Vargas continued his unbeaten rise under the bright theater lights of Madison Square Garden, earning an impressive victory on one of boxing’s grandest stages. Performing before an enthusiastic live crowd and an international audience on ESPN+ at the famed venue, the Long Island native once again demonstrated why he is considered one of the area’s top prospects and a fan favorite.

Less than 24 hours later, Scala electrified his home-state crowd in Phoenix, Arizona, delivering a spectacular first-round knockout. The emphatic finish marked a triumphant return from his hard-fought battle last September at The Paramount, as he quickly reminded fans of his explosive power.

The pair of victories highlighted the continued development within the Star Boxing stable and underscored the company’s momentum in building fighters on both regional and national stages.

“It was an exciting weekend for Star Boxing,” said Star Boxing President Joe DeGuardia. “Alex Vargas delivered a strong performance with his unanimous decision victory on one of the sport’s biggest stages, and Micky Scala gave his hometown fans a moment they won’t soon forget. I’m proud of both men and excited for what’s next”.

With victories in both New York City and Arizona, Star Boxing continues to build momentum as its next generation of contenders keeps making noise.

“ROCKIN’ FIGHTS” 49 RESULTS

Huntington, New York (November 25, 2024) – Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing Rockin’ Fights 49 delivered an action packed and hotly contested evening of bouts this past Saturday at The Paramount. The sold out show was packed with fans and non-stop thrilling boxing. Star Boxing once again continued its practice of delivering the best and most consistent boxing series in New York and #49 has fans already lining up to get tickets for Rockin’ Fights 50 in 2025.

RESULTS:

Wendy “The Haitian Fire” Touissant (now 16-3-0, 7 KOs), got back to his winning ways and did not disappoint in his return to The Paramount Saturday night. Touissant, the hometown Huntington favorite, continued to display the talent and physical fitness that makes him an intriguing ascending contender in the boxing world. Touissant stayed poised throughout the bout, which went the distance, leaning on his patient gameplan to deal with capable Argentinian challenger, Brian “El Capitan” Arregui (now 10-5-0, 7 KOs). Touissant’s training paid off as he was able to secure the victory by majority decision. The scores were: 80-72 by Tony Paolillo; 79-73 by Steve Weisfeld and a shocking 76-76 by Kevin Morgan.

In a special featured bout, 22-year old Italian-American prospect and newest Star Boxing fighter, Micky Scala (now 11-0-0 6 KOs), showed talent and tenacity in remaining undefeated in his Rockin’ Fights debut. In a competitive bout, Scala relied on his reach and fast combinations to score throughout the fight, ultimately earning a victory by unanimous decision (60-54, 59-55, 60-54) over Luis “Conrazon De Oro” Caraballo Ramos of Puerto Rico. (now 7-6-1 7 KO’s).

David “King David” Malul (now 2-0, 2KOs), once again had The Paramount crowd energized and mesmerized for his second professional fight. Malul gave the raucous crowd another memorable moment when he uncorked three devastatingly powerful blows to the head of his opponent, Zachary “Mr. Sippi Babi” Davis to secure the third round knockout.

In a rough and tough back and forth battle, Harley “Heavy Hands” Burke (now 9-0-0, 7 KOs) defeated Tevin Terrance by a very close unanimous decision (58-55, 58-55, 57-56), remaining undefeated. Following an early first round knockdown of Burke by Terrance’s acclaimed left hook, Burke settled in and the rest of the fight was an exciting and close matchup. The two combatants exchanged blows all fight, with neither fighter seeming to gain the upper hand. Ultimately, the judges ruled for Burke, keeping the Irish American’s perfect record unscathed.

Albanian pride was soaring as John “The Warrior” Gjini (now 13-0-0, 12 KOs) dissected his opponent, Luis Porozo (now 18-12-0, 9 KOs), in a dominating TKO win. Porozo came into the bout as the much more seasoned fighter, amassing 29 career fights to Gjini’s 12. Porozo took the first round but it was Gjini thereafter as his fast hands and quickness broke down the tough Ecuadorian native. Gjini secured the fourth round referee stoppage and TKO victory.

The opening bout of this stacked card saw a gritty bout between Long Island native Frank “Magic” Monaco (now 2-0-1) and Victor “El Patron” Pradis (now 2-2-1). The fight started the night with a good matchup. Monaco and Pradis were fighting in close quarters and neither fighter gave the other much room to breathe. Pradis seemed intent on attacking Monaco’s body throughout the fight, while Monaco stayed poised waiting for his openings. In the ultimate tossup decision, the judges scored it a split draw (38-38, 39-37, 37-39).

Fans can watch the entire fight card on StarBoxing.TV on demand. Also, the show will be replayed on YES Network on dates to be announced by Star Boxing later this week.

Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing Signs Undefeated Middleweight Micky Scala

WHITE PLAINS, NEW YORK (November 4, 2024):

Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing signed undefeated middleweight Micky Scala to a long-term contract.

Scala, a 22 year old highly regarded 6’2″ prospect is 10-0, 6 KO’s as a professional and ranked #24 in the United States. He will compete in both the junior middleweight and middleweight divisions.

Before turning pro, the Mesa, Arizona native had over 100 amateur fights and was rated the #1 amateur boxer in America (2016), and secured two national championships.

?”We’re thrilled to welcome Micky Scala to the Star Boxing family. Aside from being a tremendous young fighter with a bright future, Micky is a quality young man with the right mindset to succeed in boxing. I’m excited to see what the future holds for Micky with Star Boxing,” Joe DeGuardia, Star Boxing’ President and CEO said.

?Scala began his professional career at 16 years old and by the time he was 17 years old, he signed a multi-year deal with boxing superstar Floyd Mayweather.

Scala was born into a family of fighters, who dealt with life’s battles for generations, going all the way back to Sicily and eventually making its way to New York. Scala’s grandfather immigrated to America from Italy at a very young age; initially planting his flag in Brooklyn, then Long Island and eventually Arizona, where Scala himself grew up. Scala expects a huge contingency of friends and family to be there to support him in New York for his Star Boxing debut on November 23 and The Paramount, including relatives from New York and Arizona.

“As a kid, I’ve always told my family a boxing fight will bring us back to New York and signing with Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing will allow that plan to come to fruition,” said Scala.

“I can’t wait to represent my Italian heritage as I hear the roar from the crowd at The Paramount on November 23rd when they announce my name, ‘Micky Scala,’ before the bout. My family, friends and entire support system are eager to rock the house,” Scala added.

“I look forward to intelligently building a very important part of my career with Joe DeGuardia and the team at Star Boxing,” said Scala.

It’s safe to say, Scala is excited to put on a show for the New York crowd.

Scala is proud of his Italian heritage and is motivated to become the next great Italian-American fighter. Scala hopes to one day be mentioned with the likes of Rocky Marciano, Jake Lamotta, Ray Mancini, Willie Pep, Carmen Basilio and the many other Italian-American fighters who have defined the boxing world.

Scala will make his much anticipated Star Boxing debut at “Rockin’ Fights” 49 at The Paramount on November 23, 2024. Tickets on sale now!

Tickets for the live event are on sale now and available for purchase through Ticketmaster.com.

The event also featured Mayweather Promotions’ fighters Jean Carlos Torres, Dorian Khan Jr., Jalil Hackett and Micky Scala, who will compete in separate non-televised bouts on Sunday, June 6. Here is what the fighters had to say Tuesday from the Mayweather Boxing Club:

BADOU JACK

“Floyd called me in January last year and told me the rematch was on for April. That was last year. It’s been done since we walked out of the ring the first time, but I’m happy it’s finally done. I’m happy it’s here and I’m ready to put on a show.

“I’m trying to perfect everything in preparation for this matchup. Better nutrition. Better conditioning. Better sparring. I’m trying to be better at everything.

“This is my second fight with my new trainer Johnathan Banks. The first was just a tune-up fight. It wasn’t a high-level fight. It was an eight-rounder, so it was just like a sparring session. But I’m in way better shape than I was in the last camp and I’m ready to go.

“My fight is going to be a hell of a fight. Everybody knows that. It was a Fight of the Year contender last time. Floyd vs. Logan is going to be entertainment. That’s a different kind of fight, but Floyd is going to put on a show. All of the eyeballs are going to be on that night so it’s going to be a great night.

“Pascal likes trying to get under my skin, but I’m too calm. I’m too confident for that. At the end of the day, he’s a veteran, I’m a veteran and it’s going to be a great fight night.

“I thought I won the first fight. 75 percent of everybody that watched the fight thought I won. There was only one judge that had experience, Julie Lederman, and she had me winning. The other two might have scored his so-called punches but it is what it is.

“Johnathan Banks is my new coach. He’s great. He’s only a year older than me so we have great chemistry together and everything has been working great. It was a little hard in the beginning to adjust to certain things, but now in camp I feel great in sparring and everything we’re doing right now.”

LUIS ARIAS

“It feels amazing to be involved in this event. For a fighter like me who’s been up and down, who was undefeated at one point and then lost it all, went from being one of the best to being overlooked, to be able to fight my way through and to be able to keep fighting and keep working to get back on this big stage is truly a blessing. I’m happy. I’m blessed. I can’t wait to get on that stage.

“Boxing is my life and I had to make the necessary changes to get back to this level. I’ve already been to the highest level and I fell short. I got the experience of being there, I know what I need to do to get there and I made those necessary changes. It’s one of the reasons I came back to Vegas, to start training over here to get that experience, to get to that level and to get better. That’s what I’ve been doing and that’s why I’ve been able to prove that I still belong. Floyd saw it. I sparred Floyd. He sees that I still got it and I’m making the changes. He sees how my body is changing and he sees that I can still compete.”

JEAN CARLOS TORRES

“I’m very happy to be on this card. I am going to give the best fight that I can for all my fans. I’m going to do the best that I can.”

DORIAN KHAN JR.

“It feels good to be a part of this event. I’m just getting ready for my fight and focusing on that, but it’s a good opportunity so I’m ready.”

JALIL HACKETT

“It’s amazing to sign with Floyd Mayweather and be a part of this event. It’s a dream come true. I’ve worked so hard since I was eight years old and I’m finally here getting the fruits of my labor.”

MICKY SCALA

“It feels great to be part of the biggest event probably in boxing history. I’m super excited. My family and friends are super excited. We have a lot of fans that are excited and I can’t wait to put on a show. I’m very thankful to Mayweather Promotions for getting me on this card and giving me this opportunity. I’m going to make the best of it.

“That fight before the pandemic at Sam’s Town was a big motivation for me during the down time to stay ready because I knew another fight was going to come soon. My family was a big part of that motivation. I want to make sure that they can live however they want to, so I’m working hard every single day. I’ve been ready to fight since the day the pandemic started until now. I can’t wait to put on a show in Miami.”

LEONARD ELLERBE, CEO MAYWEATHER PROMOTIONS

“We have two hot events coming up. We have the Floyd event with him taking on Logan Paul. Tremendous undercard from top to bottom. We have all my pro debut guys. I call them my starting five. And then we have Chad Ochocinco who is going to be fighting in an exhibition. Everybody is dying to see that. And then we have former unified champion Jarrett Hurd taking on Mayweather Promotions’ own Luis Arias. I think that will be a tremendous fight. Those guys will be looking to steal the show in a 10-round bout. In the co-main event, we have none other than Pascal vs. Jack. That will be a war. Their first fight was a Fight of the Year and I expect nothing different. The fans are really in for a treat with that fight.

“We were just waiting for the right opportunity to make the Pascal vs. Jack rematch. This is a tremendous platform. It’s a huge event and it’s the type of platform that these two guys deserve, to be seen on a global situation around the world.

“My starting five is filled with top-tier talent. I know talent when I see it. Each and every one of these guys I’ve had a great look at up close and personal and I was beyond impressed. Floyd was also. All of them have big futures.

“Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul is entertainment. Floyd is an entertainer. Logan Paul is an entertainer. One thing about the Paul brothers is they’ve shown they can have an impact on anything that they do. I’ve been very impressed with both of those guys, especially Logan. I call him the king of the internet. One thing about both of them is that they’ve been extremely consistent at what they’ve been doing. I’m not going to stand here and pretend that these guys are ready for championship fights because they’re not, but they work extremely hard and they’re very good at what they do.”
