Edwin Rodriguez in action at the Main Street Armory on Thursday.

On Thursday November 19th DiBella Entertainment and Resnick Promotions team up to present "War at the Armory" at the Main Street Armory in Rochester, NY. Thursday night's show will be the first of four events that will take place at the armory and will feature a triumvirate of talent recently signed to a co-promotional deal with DBE and RP.

The headliner of the event will be Worcester, MA native Edwin "La Bomba" Rodriguez (12-0, 8 KO's) taking on tough veteran Brian Norman (17-9, 5 KO's). "It's impossible to have not been impressed with Edwin Rodriguez thus far in his career. Just ask the fight fans in Rochester," said Lou DiBella, President of DiBella Entertainment. "When he fought here in August, the reaction was great; we had to bring him back to headline a show."

The undercard will feature three fighters who now fight under the co-banner of DBE and RP, Nick Brinson (4-0, 2 KO's), Willie Monroe Jr. (6-0, 2 KO's) and Aleem "The Hammer" Whitfield (1-0, 1 KO).

The show will be rounded out by Tony Brinson (1-0, 1 KO) up against five fight veteran Rondu Campbell (2-2-1), Jayme Resnick (2-1, 1 KO) vs. Zachary Smith (3-0), and Andy Meijas (3-0, 1 KO) taking on Todd Erikkson (0-0-1).
