EVERETT, Mass. (November 11, 2026) – Undefeated Jaydell “The Pazmanian Devil” Pazmino (10-0, 8 KOs) stole the show this past Saturday night, defeating Graham “Tyson” Tirrell (10-3, 2 KOs) in the main event on the “Boston Harbor Fight Night 3” card, presented by Granite Chin Promotions and CES Boxing, at Encore Boston Harbor Casino in Everett, Massachusetts.
“This was an awesome way to end what was a busy year for both Granite Chin and CES,” Granite Chin President Chris Traietti commented. “This partnership with Encore Casino has been an enjoyable and humbling experience. We can’t thank the Encore staff, the fighters, and the fans enough. We have big plans for 2027!”
Pazmino pressed the action against his British opponent, controlling the early pace to set up a picture-perfect, left-right combination that sent Tirrell down on the canvas. He managed to beat the count but soon went down after a flurry of damaging punches for a first round technical knockout.
The key was Pazmino being healthy, no shoulder or back problems as he had in the past, and the ability to execute the plan.
“I knew going into the fight that I was going to catch him,” Pazmino said after the fight. “I needed to be poised and create an opening. I knew I had him when I knocked him down. I was surprised he got up but knew I had him. I wanted the opportunity to show that I was more composed. I knew I would beat him and showed I’m ready for 8-round fights (this was scheduled for 6)”
Fighting out of Londonderry, New Hampshire, the 25-year-old Pazmino had dreamed of headlining a show at Encore, as he drove past it daily on his way to work in Everett as an electrician. The 2020 New England Golden Gloves Champion has found a second home at Encore with this being his third fight at the beautiful casino by Boston harbor.
Pazmino made a loud statement
In the co-featured event, Revere light heavyweight Leo “The Hand’ Ladeira won his fourth straight fight, flooring Russ Kimber twice in the first round, initially by way of a good body shot, the second with a barrage of unanswered punches near the end of the round. Ladeira continued to bang Kimber’s ribs like a drum. He unloaded a bomb in the third, flipping Kimber head over heels in what looked like a knockout. The gutsy Kimber got up and somehow continued but it was only a matter of time. He was then knocked down and took a knee two different times, when the fight was waved off.
Former college basketball player Barrett “The Barbarian” Hanlon (2-0, 2 KOs), unleashed his power from the start, scoring a knockdown of cruiserweight Pablo Costa in round opening round, but it was an elbow injury that resulted in a stoppage in the second. Hanlon, who fights out of Hopkinton, had totally dominated the action to that point.
Hanlon (R) brought the thunder
Out of the ring for the past 14 months, New Hampshire middleweight Michael “The Blessed Southpaw” Fontanez (13-0-1, 9 KOs) shook off some early ring rust, flooring Alfred Raymond with a 4-punch combination when he was trapped on the ropes in the second round. A nifty combination dropped Raymond to close the show in the third frame. A 2-time New England Golden Gloves Champion, Fontanez outclassed his opponent in a solid comeback performance.
Jordanian light heavyweight Mohammad “Lightning” Alyazouri (2-0, 2 KOs), fighting out of Burlington, Vermont, was impressively relentless in his match with Patrick Pierre. Alyazouri jumped on his opponent, rapidly firing shots from the get-go. Midway through the third round, he hurt Pierre with a body punch and quickly followed with another gut shot, forcing a hurting Pierre to take a delayed knee. He responded slowly and referee Melissa Kelly waved off the fight.
Rapidly developing Brazilian middleweight Jefferson Almeida (4-1, 3 KOs) used his lethal left hook to dominate Rakim Johnson right from the opening bell. Almeida floored Johnson twice in the opening round with powerful hooks, repeated it in the second round, and closed the show with a stylish one-two, left-right combination that ended the fight at 2:07 of the second.
Scituate’s Kevin “Big Gulp” Nagle (12-1, 8 KOs) re-captured the Massachusetts Heavyweight Championship with a 6-round unanimous decision over the game Sione “Tu’Ukofe” Finau (6-4-1, 4 KOs). Nagle threw more effective punches and wouldn’t be denied the title belt he once owned.
Nagle (R is Mass. Heavyweight Champion again
Florida southpaw Daine Smikle (5-1, 2 KOs) displayed a terrific body attack, punishing middleweight Daniel Sostre with an array of damaging combinations that left Sostre unable to continue fighting after one round.
