Press Release:

Providence's own 2007 amateur world champion and 2008 U.S. Olympian Demetrius "Boo Boo" Andrade (3-0, 3KO) needed less than one round to completely annihilate Tom Joseph (4-2-1) in his ESPN2 "Friday Night Fights" debut at Mohegan Sun Resort and Casino in Uncasville, CT.

Andrade, who is co-promoted by Joe DeGuardia's Star Boxing and Art Pelullo's Banner Promotions, showed why many considered him to be the top amateur prospect to come out of the Olympics, as he came out firing blistering combinations to both the head and body of his opponent.

Andrade showed tremendous hand speed, seemingly landing every meaningful shot he threw. Joseph showed heart by hanging tough but Andrade was simply too much. With Joseph absorbing heavy punishment the referee called a halt to the contest at 1:53.
