Jonathan Gonzalez and Badou Jack
Named to ESPN Top Prospects List for 2011

(December 30th) Warriors Boxing is proud to announce that two of its young fighters, junior middleweight Jonathan "Mantequilla" Gonzalez and super middleweight Badou Jack "The Ripper", have been named to ESPN Columnist Dan Rafael's Super 25 list of the best prospects of 2011.

22-year-old Gonzalez, co-promoted by Warriors along with Gary Shaw Productions, is 14-0, 13 KOs. 28-year-old Jack, co-promoted by Warriors along with Lou DiBella, is 9-0, 8 KOs.

According to the esteemed columnist Rafael, Gonzalez is "...a strong volume puncher who loves to bull forward and look for knockouts. But he can also box and fights in a confident, relaxed manner. He picked up his most notable victory in June, when he broke down onetime contender Richard Gutierrez in impressive fashion to win a lopsided decision on Showtime's "ShoBox" in New York on the eve of the annual Puerto Rican Day parade."

Rafael describes Jack as "...a bit of a project, but he can fight and is a crowd-pleasing, come-forward fighter with solid power. Although born in Sweden and now living in Las Vegas, he was the first boxer to make the Olympics for the African country of Gambia (his father's native nation) in 2008. He turned pro in 2009 and fought in Europe but fought only once in 2010 before relocating to the United States, where he has won all four of his 2011 bouts, each by knockout.

"Being included in a list like this bodes very well for both guys," said their promoter, Leon Margules, President of Warriors Boxing. "Dan is one of the premier writers in the sport and he knows his stuff. Superstars and world champions have appeared on his yearly list before ascending to the top of the sport and we're very happy Jonathan and Badou have both been included in such esteemed company."

Badou Jack "The Ripper" Tears Apart Ohio's Collins

(December 23rd) Warriors Boxing President Leon Margules wishes to congratulate former Swedish Olympian turned red-hot super middleweight prospect Badou Jack "The Ripper" (9-0, 8 KO's) for his devastating TKO 1 over Adam "Atom Bomb" Collins of Ohio last Saturday night at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.

Fighting in front of a huge crowd of dignitaries, Jack began the carnage by dropping Collins with a digging body shot before moving upstairs with power to score two more knockdowns before referee Robert Byrd had seen enough at 2:28.

Badou was sensational tonight," said Warriors Boxing President, Leon Margules. "He's moved his operations to North America because he's deadly serious about becoming a world champion. Tonight the fans got to see the kind of power he has at his disposal. First he smashed Collins to the ribs and then when he had him afraid of the body shots, he brought it upstairs and put him away."

Margules says he's impressed by the improvement the hard-working Jack has shown since moving to Las Vegas.

"You can see him getting rid of his amateur style and really sitting down on his shots. It's a beautiful thing to watch a young fighter turn into a championship contender fight-by-fight."

Jack is scheduled back in the ring in February in Las Vegas.

Margules Congratulates Wlodarczyk
for Sensational Victory Over Green

(December 7th) Promoter Leon Margules of Warriors Boxing wishes to congratulate Poland's WBC cruiserweight champion Krzysztof "Diablo" Wlodarczyk (46-2-1, 36 KOs) for his 11th round TKO victory over former world champion Danny Green at Challenge Stadium, in Perth, Australia, last Wednesday night.

Green got out to an early lead and had been leading all judges' scorecards (97-93, 97-93 and 96-93) before Wlodarczyk found the range with his hard punches. In the 11th round Wlodarczyk knocked Green down hard and referee Michael Griffin wisely stopped the fight at 2:15.

"It was a fantastic win for a great champion," said Margules of his long-time fighter's potentially career-defining victory. "It takes a lot of heart to come from behind and win in sensational fashion like that - especially in the other guy's hometown."

Future career opportunities for Wlodarczyk are many, including the possibility of a high-profile battle against fellow Green conqueror and former world champion Antonio "Magic Man" Tarver.

"Right now Krzysztof is on a well-deserved vacation and we'll be sitting down to figure out the next move when he returns. He definitely got everyone's attention with the dramatic way he won that fight. He's got a lot of options in front of him now and we'll figure out the best one for him then."

Warriors Signs Future Puerto Rican Star Roberto Jose Acevedo 

(December 6th) Leon Margules of Warriors Boxing Promotions is proud to announce the signing of outstanding Puerto Rican super middleweight prospect Roberto Jose Acevedo to a promotional contract.

Acevedo (2-0, 1 KO) was born in Miami, but grew up in Bayamon, the town he now proudly represents.

An unbelievably talented amateur boxer, Acevedo was 50-1, 20 KOs in the unpaid ranks and a three-time Puerto Rican Regional and two-time Puerto Rican National champion, who decided to turn professional after making the Puerto Rico National Olympic team.

In addition to his impressive power and wealth of technical skill, 24-year-old Acevedo also stands an impressive 6' 2" and has an almost 80-inch reach - which will make him a problem for almost any super middleweight in the world.

Making the adjustment from amateur to professional, Acevedo went the distance in his pro debut.

                                      
He made his American debut on November 19 at St. Lucy Hall in Campbell, Ohio, when he destroyed Delvery Wofford from Texas in 1:52 with a performance that had boxing insiders at ringside buzzing with excitement.

"Roberto is the kind of prospect a promoter dreams of," said Margules. "He has all the tools and drive to be a world champion and we're looking forward to helping him get there by keeping him busy against the right opponents at the right time. Write down the name if you haven't already heard of him. He's going to be a major factor in boxing in a few years."
