With the success that came with ESPN2's Boxcino tournaments, the network proudly unveiled the matchups for separate brackets in two more weight divisions.
The 2015 editions will showcase the super welterweight and heavyweight divisions. The super welterweight division features a returning entrant from the Boxcino 2014 Middleweight Tournament, as finalist Brandon Adams returns AND drops down in weight just four weeks following his appearance on Friday's edition of
ESPN2 Friday Night Fights
.
Adams, who dropped a decision to Willie Monroe Jr. in the finals last May, takes on New Jersey southpaw Alex Perez in the opening round of this year's tournament, which takes place February 13 at Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, Connecticut.
The heavyweight bracket begins one week later on February 20, airing live from Turning Stone Resort & Casino in Verona, NY. The same venue hosted last year's semifinals and finals in both divisions.
