Casey Streeter shadow boxed in the mirror at the Portland Boxing Club on Thursday afternoon, studying every move and combination he might make in the ring at Cross Insurance Arena on Saturday night. Streeter’s fight against Bernard Joseph for the New England middleweight title is the main event on the 10-bout card.

For Streeter, 33, the fight is a move up in weight class from super welterweight, where he fought at 154 pounds. Streeter said he expects to be right at 160 pounds Saturday.

“(Joseph’s) got the belt right now. He’s a tough guy. I have to go up a weight division to fight him, so it’s going to be a little bit of a challenge,” Streeter said. “But I like the challenge, so it’s going to be a good night on Saturday.”

The event is the second night of boxing at Cross Insurance Arena in the last 12 months after the facility went nearly 30 years without hosting any boxing. Both Streeter and Wade Faria, who also trains with Bob Russo at the Portland Boxing Club, fought and won at Cross Arena a year ago in front of their hometown crowd. Both are eager to step into the ring again.

“It meant a lot. Coming back now after a year, where it all began, it’s like, here we are. Let’s do this again. I’m definitely going to prove something to myself as well,” said Faria, 28, a former New England Golden Gloves champion who will be fighting as a professional for the fourth time when he takes on Tyriece Stokes in a middleweight bout.

In his last fight on March 22, Streeter (13-2-2) beat Joe Farina via TKO in the eighth round to defend his USA New England super welterweight title. With a chance to hold two belts simultaneously, there was no question in Streeter’s mind he would accept the opportunity to fight Joseph (11-1-1). The fight is scheduled for eight rounds.

“It’s not a big jump, it’s only six pounds. But nonetheless, (Joseph) probably walks around at around 180 pounds, so it’s really like a light heavyweight. Casey, on the other hand, he’s tall enough and can handle more weight,” Russo said. “Looking at the film we have of (Joseph), I think it’s the right fight for Casey. (Joseph is) a decent boxer. I don’t think he’s a real power puncher. He’s busy enough. I think he does everything pretty good, but I don’t think he’s exceptional (in any area). Casey, basically, his best attribute is he doesn’t get tired. He’s a good boxer. He should be able to figure out his style from the beginning.”

Faria is 3-0 as a pro after going 23-7 as an amateur. Stokes is making his professional debut after a short amateur career in which he went 0-3, all losses via decision. Russo said he’d like to see Faria break his habit of letting the fight come to him, and this time be the aggressor.

“One of the things I think with Wade is, he’s a little bit of an underachiever, in the sense that he’s got a jab like a rocket, he’s got very fast hands, he’s tough, he’s a big puncher, but sometimes mentally he’s a counter puncher,” Russo said. “I’m just trying to get him out of that. I think you’ll see it with this guy because this guy will make him fight, and I think that will bring the best out of Wade.”

Faria acknowledged that as a pro fighter, he’s still a novice.

“I don’t think I’ve fully done what I am supposed to do in other fights. With this fight, I can definitely bring that to the table and see what I can bring,” Faria said. “It’s more about execution, and I’m going to try and do that. I’m going to try to bring all the experience I’ve seen so far and try to execute it on this fight.”

A young pro to keep an eye on Saturday is Marco Romero. A native of Kansas, the 19-year old Romero  will look to improve to 8-0 against Nafys Anas Garner (4-2) in a super middleweight bout. Russo and Romero’s trainer, John Brown, are longtime friends. This is Romero’s third pro fight in Portland, and he said he has come to see the city as a second home.

“The fans are electrifying and so welcoming. Everyone here’s so nice. I appreciate everyone here,” Romero said before a training session at the Portland Boxing Club.

Brandon Berry, of West Forks, will fight Daulis Prescott (32-24) for the Northeast welterweight title. Berry (31-8-2) last fought just over a month ago, a TKO win over Juan Carlos Pena in Madison.
