KING KONG BOXING ‏@kingkongboxing
Looking for opponent at 175 to fight 6 rounds for July 31 in Tampa fl ,,against Ramon Luis Nicolas

 

Is Gonzalez any good?

 

Yunieski Gonalez was a heavyweight in Cuba lost the final in the cuban championship by two points. Defeated Luis Ortiz in the semifinal !
Seen some of his profesional fights on Youtube, throwing few punches, litte slow but hits hard. Not sure if he have stamina for 10 rounds.

 

GGG-Lemieux undercard likely to include Roman Gonzalez and heavyweight Luis Ortiz.
Done deal: GGG-Lemieux 160 unification fight. Oct. 17 on HBO PPV from Madison Square Garden. Bombs away

 

Sullivan Barrera stopped Hakim Zoulikha in round 8.

 

Luis Ortiz might get a fight against Jennings on the GGG vs Lemieux undercard.

 

Former WBC light heavyweight champion Jean Pascal (30-3-1, 17 KOs) won a controversial ten round unanimous decision over previously unbeaten former Cuban national team member Yuniesky Gonzalez (16-1, 12 KOs) on Saturday night at the Mandalay Bay Events Center, Las Vegas. It was a brutal fight with many wild exchanges. Gonzalez took the fight to Pascal, pushing him back and seemingly outworking him in most rounds. Scores were 96-94 on all cards for Pascal. Judges were Richard Ocasio, Eric Cheek and John McKaie.

VERY CONTROVERSIAL DECISION, MOST PEOPLE HAD GONZALEZ WINNING!!!!

A Fight of the year candidate !
