During a Tuesday court hearing in Hartford, Connecticut, featherweight contender Matt Remillard (23-1), 25-years-old, received the maximum sentence of five years in prison for fracturing a man's skull with a baseball bat last year in what police say was a fight over a woman. He had pleaded no contest to first-degree assault in September. Remillard held the NABF and NABO featherweight titles until losing in March to Mikey Garcia in Atlantic City.

State police say Jordan Evans suffered a fractured skull, eye socket and hand in the July 2010 attack in Marlborough. Doctors had to insert 100 stitches, more than two dozen screws and a plate into Evans' head.
