ShoBox "The New Generation" and
Goossen-Tutor Promotions are bringing in two of the top young talents
in the country in Brandon Gonzales, 14-0 (10) and 2008 Olympian
Javier Molina, 9-0 (4) in a pair of 8 round co-features. Bally’s
Event Center, in Atlantic City, NJ, will host the show.
Tony Thompson and Eddie Chambers were
to headline but Chambers had to pull out with a back injury. So the
rest of the card goes on with Gonzales, out of Sacramento taking on
veteran Ossie “The Ghanaian Gladiator” Duran, 26-8-2 (10), out of
Paterson, NJ. Gonzalez hasn’t fought since January when he
defeated Lester Gonzalez, then 11-1-1. Previously he stopped Byron
Tyson, 9-1-2, in August of 2010.
Duran spent the first 10 years of his
career between Ghana and the UK a two-division Commonwealth champion.
He made his US debut in 2006 winning his first 3 fights before
losing in 10 to unbeaten James Kirkland. He followed up with a 12
round draw against Eromosele Albert, then 21-2. He last lost to
Fernando Guerrero, then 15-0, by majority decision in Guerrero’s
home town. He has since won his last 3 fights defeating a pair of
Philadelphia boxers in Jamaal Davis and Latif Mundy with Matt Vanda,
then 43-11 in between the two. The younger Molina will be meeting
his toughest opponent to date.
2008 Olympian Medina will be having his
fifth fight of 2011 last defeating John Revish, 10-4-2 last month.
Medina is from Norwalk, CA, and will be taking on Artemio Reyes, of
Colton, CA, who is 13-1 (11), having won his last 12 fights including
winning the WBC Latino welterweight title in August stopping Miguel
Angel Munquia. This should be an interesting match-up.
There will be 5 bouts scheduled for 4
rounds with NJ boxers in John Lennox from Carteret, Korey Pritchett
from Camden, Jason Sia from Ewing. From Philadelphia there is Ramon
Ellis, Jesse Crawford, Korey Sloane and Anthony Allen. First fight
is at 9pm while the televised portion starts at 11pm.
