Chase DeMoor Stops Kevin Nagle To Capture

WBC USA Silver Heavyweight Title

At Encore Boston Harbor!

(September 1st) Chase “Mr. Belt to Ass” DeMoor (7-2-1, 6 KOs) has a new belt to add to his growing collection.  DeMoor entered enemy territory on Saturday and stopped previously unbeaten Scituate heavyweight Kevin “Big Gulp” Nagle (11-1, 8 KOs) in the fifth round to capture the vacant WBC USA Silver Heavyweight Championship in the main event of Boston Harbor Fight Night 2 at Encore Boston Harbor.

The action-packed 10-bout card was presented by CES Boxing in association with Granite Chin Promotions.

 

Each fighter started cautiously, wary of one another's power in the first few rounds. The 6’5 DeMoor began to take control late in the fourth, dropping the shorter Nagle with a sharp right hand off the jab. The former football player and reigning Misfits heavyweight champion carried that momentum into the fifth, flooring Nagle again with a shot to the side of the head. Nagle again bravely beat the count but was not fit to continue, forcing referee Marcel Varela to wave off the contest at the 45-second mark.

 

The victory extended DeMoor’s unbeaten streak to seven fights and handed Nagle, a U.S. Army veteran and former WBC USA Silver and Massachusetts State titleholder, the first official loss of his professional career.

 

“Chase DeMoor came into Kevin Nagle’s backyard, embraced the challenge and proved that he is a legitimate heavyweight,” said CES Boxing Founder Jimmy Burchfield, Sr. “Kevin showed tremendous heart, as he always does, but Chase was the better man on Saturday night.  This entire card delivered—from the championship main event to the prospects, veterans and exciting women’s bouts. We are proud of the show that CES Boxing and Granite Chin Promotions presented and grateful to Encore Boston Harbor for providing a first-class setting for New England boxing.”

 

“Putting on shows at Encore is what it is all about,” added Granite Chin Promotions president Chris Traietti.  “Putting on the best talent in the area in the best venue in the area.  It is a perfect match.  Everything about the event was top notch.  We can't thank the team at Encore enough for the support and enthusiasm they put into all of this.  This is a great partnership! We will have exciting news to announce shortly.”

 

In the six-round co-feature, Dorchester welterweight Jonathan DePina (16-2, 7 KOs) turned in another composed performance, sweeping all three judges’ scorecards in a unanimous-decision victory over rugged New Britain, Connecticut veteran Anthony “Toro Rojo” Mora (7-10-1, 4 KOs).

 

DePina controlled the action with his superior boxing ability, but Mora remained competitive throughout and forced the hometown favorite to work for every round. All three judges scored the fight 60-53 in favor of DePina, who earned his fourth consecutive victory.

 

The upset of the night belonged to Dallas bantamweight Chantal “Champ” Sumrall (3-4-2, 1 KO), who stopped Milton’s Jenn Perella (5-2, 1 KO) in the fourth round.

 

Perella, a two-time New England Golden Gloves champion and 2024 National Golden Gloves champion, appeared to be in control before Sumrall caught her coming forward with a perfectly placed right hook. Perella beat the count but rose on unsteady legs, prompting referee Marcel Varela to stop the contest at 1:42. The dramatic finish gave Sumrall the first knockout victory of her professional career.

 

Norton police officer Melanie “Pitbull” Costa (4-1, 2 KOs) made a successful return to the ring following an 18-month layoff, overwhelming Brittany Dukes (3-10-2) with relentless pressure en route to a fourth-round stoppage.

 

Costa, a five-time national amateur champion and two-time U.S. Olympic Trials participant, consistently backed Dukes toward the ropes and forced her to exchange. Costa finally broke through in the final round, closing the show just 32 seconds into the fourth.

 

Undefeated junior middleweight Jaydell “The Pazmanian Devil” Pazmino (10-0, 8 KOs) faced a stern test from Pawtucket veteran Alfred Raymond (6-14-4, 3 KOs) but remained perfect with a six-round unanimous decision.

 

With his usual knockout game plan disrupted by Raymond’s durability and experience, Pazmino adjusted and showcased his boxing skills to win by scores of 60-54 twice and 59-55.

 

Former college basketball player Barrett Hanlon enjoyed a sensational professional debut, dropping Ratavious Thrasher three times in the opening round of their light heavyweight bout.An overhand right produced the final knockdown and brought an end to the contest at 1:15.

 

Revere light heavyweight Leonardo “The Hand” Ladeira (9-11-1, 7 KOs) extended his winning streak to three fights with a second-round knockout of Felipe Soares. Ladeira dropped Soares twice with crisp right hooks, the second leaving Soares unable to beat the count at 2:29.

 

Cruiserweight Mohammad “Lightning” Alyazouri needed only 35 seconds to make an explosive professional debut. The Jordanian-born prospect dropped fellow debutant Charles de Sousa twice with powerful left hooks to secure the first-round stoppage.

 

Brazilian cruiserweight “Dangerous” Jefferson Almeida (2-1, 1 KO) also registered his first professional knockout, flooring Pablo Costa (0-1) with a body combination before finishing him with a left hook at 2:31 of the opening round.

 

In the evening’s opening bout, Anthony “The Gentle Savage” Andreozzi (8-6-1, 3 KOs) and Ryan Clark (5-9-1, 2 KOs) resumed their rivalry with six rounds of nonstop, close-quarters action. Andreozzi, who defeated Clark by split decision in their first meeting in 2024, prevailed again by majority decision. Two judges scored the rematch 58-56 for Andreozzi, while the third had it even at 57-57.

 

Fans can relive select bouts from Boston Harbor Fight Night 2 when the action is rebroadcast Thursday, September 3, at 11:30 p.m. ET on NESN and Friday, September 4, at 10 p.m. ET on NESN+.
