Groenteman to Fight in March
Junior welterweight Barry Groenteman (7-4-1, two KOs), from Holland, will be back in the ring on March 17 at the Wellness Profi Center in Purmerend, Holland. The Amsterdam native has won four consecutive fights since September 2011. He last fought in late January, a unanimous decision victory.
Groenteman will face his toughest opponent to date, Belgium's Andrea Carbonello (7-1, one KO) in a scheduled six rounder. Neither man has much power and both have battled limited opposition thus far in their careers.
The 25-year old Groenteman, who uses a good jab to set up his shoe-shine combinations, is looking to work his way through the ranks gradually after a slow start to his career. He told Jose Stephen, "Together with my trainer Michel van Halderen, we decided to take it slowly. First, we would like to work on my record in Holland and Belgium and, after that, we would like to go to the UK, Italy, or Germany where the big money is."
To do so, he will have to get by the 22-year old Carbonello, who is from Liege.

Senchenko a Possible Opponent for Salita?
Dmitriy Salita's possible bout with Ismael El Massoudi still has not materialized. Salita (33-1-1, 17 KOs), a welterweight, told Ian Aldous that the entire process with El Massoudi has been "frustrating."
Salita explained, "I signed a contract to fight him after scheduling several dates at MSG and thinking that the fight would happen, he has not committed and it does not look like that fight will take place."
Instead, Salita said he would like to fight the WBA titist Vyacheslav Senchenko (32-0, 21 KOs). Senchenko has had problems securing a fight with Paulie Malignaggi.
So Salita sees a fight with Senchenko has a way to solve both of their problems. He also asserted that he's willing to travel to Ukraine for the potential bout. Senchenko lives in Ukraine and Salita was born there.

Melson to Face Parsley
Junior middleweight Boyd "Rainmaker" Melson (8-0, 4 KOs) is scheduled to face Delen "Sniper" Parsley (6-0, 2 KOs) on Saturday, March 7 at the BB King Blues Club in New York, New York.
This will be the toughest fight in the young careers of both men. Melson and Parsley have mostly fought men without winning records thus far. They have a common opponent in Andrew Jones. Both beat the winless Jones by unanimous decision in 2010.
Melson is a strong, slick 5'10" fighter. He can box on the outside but would prefer to overwhelm his opponent with aggressive in-fighting. Parsley is a lean 6'2" 24 year old. Delen is taller and younger than the 30-year Melson.
Melson said, "This is going to be a strong test for me and it’s also my first eight rounder, so I have to look to what beats inside my chest."
The Rainmaker has donated his boxing purses to support stem cell research for spinal cord injuries. This time, he will donate his earning to his former West Point classmate, whose three year old son is battling brain cancer.
