Damon McCreary looking to upset undefeated Jarrell Miller next Thursday night at LIU Brooklyn Paramount Theater

BROOKLYN (May 28, 2015) – On Thursday night, June 4, Dmitry Salita’s Star of David Promotions will bring it’s Brooklyn Brawl series to LIU Brooklyn Paramount Theater with a terrific night of boxing.

In the main event, undefeated Heavyweight Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller (12-0-1, 10 KO’s) will risk his undefeated mark when he takes on Damon McCreary (15-4, 11 KO’s) in a bout scheduled for 8 rounds.

McCreary has been training hard in Detroit as Miller will be his 4th consecutive and 7th overall undefeated opponent.

He has previously been in with current WBC Heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder as well as Jordan Shimmell, Ali Mansour and Charles Martin.

“My training has been excellent.  I feel great.  I know what I have going against me,” said McCreary.

In Miller, McCreary will be facing a guy who stands about 6’4″ and checks in around 260 lbs.  McCreary has been preparing for that with regular sparring against huge men.

“I know he is a big guy.  I been sparring with guys who stand about 6’8″ and 6’9″.  I know Miller is young, hungry and a puncher.  His skills are OK but he hasn’t fought at the level I have been at.”

McCreary has been a pro since 1998 and he feels that could be a big factor in his favor.

“My experience is a huge factor.  I know up until the last couple years that he has been an MMA fighter.  I just hope he doesn’t kick me or put me in a headlock.” quipped McCreary.

Despite being 41 years-old, McCreary is confident that a win in New York will catapult him into some great opportunities.

“I have a few years left in me.  This win will get me a bigger fight.  It is great to fight in New York.  I have fought in Los Angeles and Chicago but I have to treat this as just another fight.”

Because of the his past opponents, McCreary is giving himself a great shot to pull the upset.

“I am from Detroit.  I am a soldier who won’t back down and I am coming to win.  By the grace of god, I can pull the upset and further my career.”
