QUINCY, Mass. (May 20, 2026) – The star of last
Saturday night’s “Rumble at the Rink II,” presented by Granite Chin Promotions,
was clearly 2-time New England Golden Gloves Champion Jenn Perella (5-1, 1 KO).
Perella, the runner-up in the 2024 National Golden Gloves Tournament, lives in
nearby Milton and packed the house with family and friends at Quincy Youth Arena
in Quincy, Massachusetts. The thunderous ovation she received going into the
ring was just the start from her supporting fanbase.
Perella out-boxed flyweight Kate Radomska, fighting out of Waterford, Ireland,
consistently beating Radomska to the punch with an obvious quickness of hands
advantage. Radomska, though, proved to be the toughest opponent yet for Perella,
the 42-year-old mother of two.
Their fight was competitive and entertaining, despite the fact Perella won each
round for a 6-round unanimous decision, by scores of 60-54 three times.
“I want to thank everybody here, especially my hockey players (including her
son, their strength-and-conditioning coach who watched her fight live for the
first time),” former college field hockey player Perella said after the fight.
“It was awesome; I know it sounds crazy, but when I heard them during my walk to
the ring, I felt like I’ve made it. Everybody came out to support me.
“I always feel that I can use my jab better. I always give 100-percent but nick
pick after every fight, win or lose. My coach told me to jab more but I didn’t
do it enough, because everything comes off my jab. My son and daughter had never
seen me fight live (she had previously fought at 21+ venues). They were there
tonight with my husband and father. My father was at every field hockey game I
played, home or away, and he’s been at every one of my fights.”
The main event on this pro boxing card, technically speaking, was contested for
the GCP Midget Wrestling Championship, refereed by special guest Butterbean,
Walter defeated Cambodian Dragon for the title.
Rough N’ Ready graduate Bobby “Lights Out” Laing, fighting out of Braintree
(MA), rushed across the ring at the sound of the opening bell and bombarded
Peabody’s Russ Kimber, whose father and uncle were World Kickboxing Champions.
Laing exploded punches all over Kimber’s body until he finally went down to his
knees. He wasn’t able to beat the count and was knocked out at 1:16 of the first
round.
“I came out and he caught me with a good right hand,” Laing explained. “I knew I
was in a fight and I started punching him to the body over and over until he
went down.”
Kingston middleweight Rich Allen improved his record to 3-0 (3 KOs), flooring
pro-debuting Azemir Campos, Jr. with a body shot, to close the show at the
48-second mark of the opening round with a right to the head.
Hometown favorite heavyweight Peter “PJ” Campbell had the crowd cheering early
and often as the union laborer, Local 695, fighter fired powerful shots against
Felipe Soares Da Silva. The 6’ 7”, 292-pounder from Quincy used his 88-pound
advantage to improve to 2-0 via a 4-round unanimous decision.
California junior middleweight Luis Valentin turned in a memorable pro debut,
flooring Tymar Miles four times in the opening round, enroute to a second-round
stoppage when Miles landed on the canvas for the final time
The night started with a 4-round middleweight bout in which The Bronx’ Israel
Bailey pitched a shutout, winning each round on the three judges’ scorecards,
for a unanimous decision victory against an overmatched Jay Gregory.
