"I don't like to make predictions too much; boxing is an unpredictable sport and it's hard to say what will happen. Anything can happen on June 11. We've got a little bit to wait and we'll see what happens. 

"I don't know if it will go to the scorecards. Anything can happen. He is also a great fighter, so maybe it will go to the scorecards."

(On what he expects from John Molina Jr.)

"I'm expecting him to come to fight. No doubt he's a fighter, he's a warrior. For somebody to defeat me is a big motivation and I know he'll be coming to win.

Vladine Biosse meets Peter Manfredo @TwinRiver on Friday night #Boxing

BIOSSE HOPES TO CARRY ON TRADITION FOR THE CITY HE CALLS HOME WHEN HE FACES MANFREDO JR. MAY 13TH AT TWIN RIVER

PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- For Vladine Biosse, "Mr. Providence" is more than just a clever nickname stitched onto a pair of shorts.

"Being 'Mr. Providence' is about carrying on a legacy," says Biosse, who faces the toughest test of his career Friday, May 13th, 2016 against fellow Providence native and Rhode Island icon Peter Manfredo Jr.

"When you talk about Providence, you're talking about a great city, a fighting city for so many years. Carrying that torch means so much to me."

The always-ready Biosse (15-7-2, 7 KOs), a physical marvel who stays in shape year-round, replaces Angel Camacho Jr., who sustained a foot injury, in the highly publicized "BATTLE FOR THE CAPITAL," a dream matchup between two well-respected Providence veterans at Twin River Casino, the hub of boxing in the northeast for the past decade.

Manfredo back for one more on Friday night #Boxing

BACK FOR ONE MORE ROUND, PROVIDENCE ICON MANFREDO JR. REFLECTS ON BALANCING LIFE IN AND OUT BOXING

PROVIDENCE, R.I.  -- The best decision Peter Manfredo Jr. ever made came outside of the boxing ring and had nothing to do with strategy or technique.

Shortly after his loss to Sakio Bika in 2008, Manfredo's second shot at a world title, "The Pride of Providence" -- at the time, just 27 years old -- figured it was time to start thinking about life away from the sport to avoid the pitfalls that had plagued so many retired boxers before him.

"I said to myself, 'Forget this. I've got to get myself a job. I can't keep taking beatings like this,'" said Manfredo, who returns to the ring Friday, May 13th, 2016 for the first time in two and a half years.

"Then what? Everybody loves when you're winning. No one cares when you lose. At the end of the day, it's you and your family and you've got to do what you've got to do to support your family. When you're boxing, I don't care how much money you make, you live within your means. It runs out!

Zack Ramsey returns to action on Friday night #Boxing

UNBEATEN JUNIOR WELTERWEIGHT RAMSEY ENDS TWO-YEAR LAYOFF TO FACE 20-FIGHT VET KINDA MAY 13TH

PROVIDENCE, R.I.  -- The return of Rhode Island icon Peter Manfredo Jr. on Friday, May 13th, 2016 will now also include the return of a once-promising regional prospect looking to get his career back on track.

Undefeated Springfield, Mass., junior welterweight Zack Ramsey (7-0, 3 KOs) steps back into the ring for the first time since 2014 to face 20-fight vet Issouf Kinda (17-3, 7 KOs) of New York in a six-round bout at Twin River Casino, one of nine fights on the undercard of the 10-round Manfredo-Angel Camacho Jr. showdown presented by CES Boxing.
