Starfight Productions, Inc. returns with a new installment of “St. Pete Fight Night” on April 5, 2008 at the St. Pete Hilton Bayfront in St. Petersburg, Florida.  The main event features Carlos Rivera taking on former IBF Title Challenger, Jose Laureano in a six round slug fest.

Also featured on the card is 2008 US Olympic Trials Silver Medalist, Keith Thurman (3-0, 3 KOs) from Clearwater, Florida.  Thurman is widely considered one of the top prospects in all of boxing and the most devastating puncher to turn pro from the amateur ranks this year.  He is coming of a vicious knock out of Brandon Buchanan on March 14, 2008.  Thurman will look to continue his perfect record with a knockout win. With the training of Ben Getty and Dan Birmingham advising this young man the sky is the limit.

The event’s undercard features some of the best boxing prospects in the St. Petersburg area including Junior Middleweight Gino Mclellan, Featherweight Kermit Gonzalez, and Heavyweight Jason Barnett.

Tickets are priced as follows: VIP Table Seating: $65, $60, Reserved: $45 and $35. Tickets are available through the Starfight Productions Office and all Ticketmaster outlets.  For more information visit or contact the Starfight Production’s office at 813-876-9269.
