MIGUEL “SILKY SMOOTH” GONZALEZ LOOKING FOR A CRAWFORD SHOWDOWN

Fresh off his eighth round stoppage over Josenilson Dos Santos on July 26^th, Lightweight contender Miguel Gonzalez would like to reacquaint himself with amateur rival Terrance Crawford this fall.

Gonzalez (22-3, 16 KO’s) of Cleveland, Ohio was very impressive in his victory over Dos Santos which was his second consecutive win on ESPN’s Friday Night Fights.

“It was a tough fight with a tough guy”, said the 27 year-old Gonzalez.

“I was mentally and physically prepared for the fight and you saw the results”.

Gonzalez believes he is finally on the right course to become a world champion.

“It was supposed to be like this. I am good at the sport and my confidence is there. I am supposed to win and have been doing it for a long time. I am nowhere near finished and the grind doesn’t stop. I know what to expect when I go to camp and I will keep progressing”.

Gonzalez would like a shot at Crawford, who has an HBO date on October 5^th and with the wins over Dos Santos and former world champion Miguel Acosta, Gonzalez believes he is qualified as anybody to deserve the opportunity to unseat the undefeated Crawford.

Gonzalez and Crawford have a history as they competed as amateurs with Crawford winning a controversial decision.

The fight took place in the United States Championships.

“I was up the whole fight and for some reason I was deducted a point in the last 15 seconds and that point was the difference as lost because of it by that one point”.

“We then fought in the Olympic trials and I beat him so I was satisfied with that”.

Gonzalez now would like a rubber match but this time in the pro ranks with the rising Lightweight contender from Nebraska.

“He is a talented boxer and it would be a great fight but I have the heart, style and desire to destroy him and I want the opportunity to prove it”.

Crawford’s television date is scheduled to take place on October 5^th at the co-feature to the Miguel Cotto – Delvin Rodriguez Jr. Middleweight clash in Orlando, Florida.

“Orlando is a great Boricua community; I think that would be the perfect place for me for that fight to happen”.

“I want to thank my trainer Mike Stafford and Levi Smith and I can’t wait to perform again”.

Said Gonzalez’co-Promoter Arthur Pelullo of Banner Promotions, “Miguel has fought two very good fights back to back and he did it on the national stage. We are very pleased with his progress and hope to have him in a big fight real shortly”.

UNDEFEATED JR. MIDDLEWEIGHT FRANK “NOTORIOUS” GALARZA JOINS “FIGHT FOR PEACE” WILL RETURN TO THE RING ON SEPTEMBER 21ST AT RESORTS WORLD CASINO IN QUEENS, NY

One of New York City’s fastest rising and exciting Junior-Middleweight prospects, Frank ‘Notorious’ Galarza, is now a proud member of the ‘Fight for Peace’ organization. Fight for Peace is a non-profit organization, that was founded by Luke Dowdney in 2000. This unique program has blended boxing, education, and youth services, to help promote peace and personal development to young children living in environments of poor social and economic backgrounds.

On August 10, Galarza will be embarking on a one week trip to Fight for Peace’s home-base, Brazil, to learn the organization values and practices. He will be bringing with him his own personal knowledge of dealing with hardships, as well as his boxing skill and most of all, his charisma which has made him one of New York’s best ticket sellers. Galarza will be dealing personally with some of Brazil’s most at-risk youth, and he plans on using what he has learned, to establish a Fight for Peace base in his native Brooklyn, NY at the Starrett City Boxing Club. “Before you become a champion inside the ring, you have to be one outside the ring.” Stated Galarza, “I’m extremely excited to be part of the Fight for Peace team. I am looking forward to going to Brazil and being an ambassador of not only boxing, but peace. This experience will definitely teach me so much, and I plan on implementing this program here in Brooklyn.”

No stranger to giving back, Galarza is in the process of setting up his own non-profit organization, “Fighting Forward”. Not to be lost in his admirable work outside the ring, ‘Notorious’ is quick to point out that boxing is where his mind is at, at all times. “My training and boxing is still priority number 1. We resumed training immediately after my last victory, and my next match is September 21. I plan on staying undefeated, and rising up the ranks. I am blessed to have a great team around me who support my efforts with Fight for Peace, and they have been behind me 100%.”

Frank Galarza (10-0-2) will be competing on September 21 in an 8 round junior-middleweight match at the Resorts World Casino in Queens, NY. An opponent has yet to be named. Galarza is promoted by New Legend Boxing, Old World Boxing and WON Promotions. He is managed by A.J. Galante. For more information on Frank Galarza and future events, email eliteboxing@verizon.net
