Michael Acri Boxing Promotions in association with Budweiser present the 24th Annual Erie Boxing Classic on Wednesday December 10, 2008 at the Avalon Hotel.  The show starts at 8:00 PM. The show which is traditionally slated for Thanksgiving Eve has been moved this year.

The main event will feature welterweights Nelson Romine 9-1-2 of Columbus, OH Vs Delaney Howard 5-1 of Las Vegas, NV in an eight round bout. Promoter Acri states “both fighters have tremendous hand speed and great amateur credentials.”

The eight round co- feature will be New York City’s Light Heavyweight Ronson Frank 12-0 Vs Hornlake Mississippi’s John Johnson 12-2, 10 KO’s.   Frank fought in Erie on the April 25th show this year.  Promoter Acri says “this is a classic boxer Vs slugger.”
