Lucia Larcinese is a 37 year old first generation Canadian; her parents were born in Italy. She is currently an LPN (Licensed Practitioner Nurse), can fluently speak three languages and trains virtually every day for boxing. It has been very tough for Larcinese to juggle both work and boxing but she feels the sacrifices are definitely worth it. Lucia first got into combat sports as a kickboxer because her friend’s brother was a world kickboxing champion. She then switched to muay thai but progressed into boxing because she heard it was an Olympic sport. The problem however was that women were not allowed to compete in boxing at the Olympics at the time.

On Friday March 26, at the Claude-Robillard Center in Montreal, Quebec, Ali Nester Charles UGC promotions is including a very competitive female Featherweight match up between Montreal’s own Lucia Larcinese (4-5) and New York State native Jackie Trivilino (2-1-1, 1 KO).
a
Larcinese is excited for the opportunity to fight in front of her hometown fans again however for only the second time in ten fights. Lucia’s only other fight at home took place last December at Casino Montreal, an event promoted by GYM (Groupe Yvon Michel), in which Larcinese cruised to a unanimous decision victory. Larcinese has had to travel for most of her fights and has been able to score impressive victories over the hometown fighter but has also felt the sting of not having the advantage of hometown promotion behind her.

The main event on the card is scheduled for 10 rounds for the vacant Professional Boxing Council Super Middleweight championship between Ali Nestor Charles (8-5-2, 3 KO’s) and Martin Desjardins (7-15-4, 3 KO’s).

Last night at the Turning Stone Casino in Verona, New York Amanda Serrano (5-0-1, 3KO’s) of Brooklyn, New York won a controversial 6 round 59-54, 58-56 and 58-56 unanimous decision against Montreal’s Lucia Larcinese (4-5). To many in attendance the judge’s scores did not accurately reflect the fight’s action. This sentiment was shared by some in press row as well as some of the ringside officials and more importantly the fans in attendance.
a
In the opening round the southpaw Serrano came out very strong taking the fight straight to Larcinese catching her with flush power shots right on the chin however Larcinese took the punches well and did not wilt under the aggressive pressure of Serrano. Instead, Larcinese kept to her game plan of boxing and counter punching Serrano. Read More

Grant Defeats Slezsak
In an action packed main event Buzz Grant (7-3, 4KO’s) of Orangeville earned a 39-37, 39-36 and 38-36 unanimous decision victory over short notice opponent Dan Slezsak (0-3) of Brantford. Grant started out strong with great movement and combinations utilizing his jab however Slezsak was able to come on strong at the end of the round. In the second round Grant came out strong but was caught by a right hand that stunned him and he was knocked off balance and eventually was dropped. The knock down was a wake up call for Buzz because he came right back after an initial flurry by Slezsak and kept the pressure on in the second half of the round.
In the third and fourth rounds Slezsak tried to land one punch bombs but was unsuccessful. Grant utilized a relentless body attack and short uppercuts and had Slezsak hurt and backing up for the remainder of the fight. With the victory Grant improves to 8-3, 4KO’s while Dan Sleszak drops to 0-4. It should be noted that Dan Slezsak deserves a lot of credit for showing courage and determination giving Grant all he could handle over the 4 rounds. Read More
