One of the best fights Reno has seen! In front of a sold out crowd at Grand Sierra Resort in Reno, NV Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing and Let’s Get It On Promotions put together an action packed card on ESPN’s “Friday Night Fights” headlined by Curtis “Showtime” Stevens, taking on Jesse Brinkley in an Official IBF eliminator for the number two ranking in the super middleweight division.

In the 6th Brinkley caught Steven’s with some big right hands that eventually brought Steven’s to take a knee. In the end Brinkely was awarded a grueling twelve round unanimous decision in what is sure to be an early candidate for fight of the year.

Facebook Photo Gallery of last years Ultimate Boarder Competition

The one-week competition to find the athlete who can conquer the art of surfing, skateboarding and snowboarding has secured new venues & line-up including: the surfing competition at Seaside Reef in Cardiff-by-the-Sea, Calif. (San Diego County), Saturday - Tuesday, March 13-16; the snowboarding in Lake Tahoe at Northstar-at-Tahoe™ Resort, Thursday - Friday, March 18-19; and skateboarding contest at Grand Sierra Resort & Casino Reno, NV, Saturday March 20. Following the skate finals and awards ceremony on Saturday, March 20, a live concert with Pennywise and TSOL at Grand Sierra Resort and Casino..

“The momentum of Ultimate Boarder going into its 3rd year reflects the evolving ways that fans and athletes engage in sports today,” said Tim Hoover, Founder & CEO of Ultimate Boarder. “Last year’s event proved to be phenomenal, with huge support from both sponsors and the surf-skate-snow community.

The idea to establish the best-of-the-best in snowboarding, skateboarding and surfing has caught heightened interest by the fans of the three disciplines too – many of whom often dabble in or follow more than one board sport.
