and features two of the brightest up-and-coming stars in all of boxing putting
their undefeated records on the line as Browne and Centeno each compete in separate
10-rounders.
A 2012 U.S. Olympian, Browne has
been very impressive since making his pro debut in November 2011.The
24-year-old Staten Island-native is coming off his two most impressive
victories to date this year. In May, Browne dominated Cornelius White (21-3)
over 10 rounds at
Campillo is 3-1 in his last four
bouts, including a huge upset stoppage victory over previously undefeated
Thomas Williams Jr. (17-0) in August of last year. The 36-year-old owns
victories over Beibut Shumenov, Hugo Hernan Garay and Mirzet Bajrektarevic over
a career that dates back to 2002. The fighter out of Madrid , Spain knows that
if he is going to make another run at a light heavyweight title, he cannot
afford another loss.
The Browne or Centeno fight could
end up as a swing bout for the NBC broadcast pending the outcome of the two
scheduled televised bouts.
