Faragon Wows Hometown Fans with Impressive TKO over 12-1 "Mikey Faragon will be a household name!" exclaims excited promoter!

(August 1st) Fast-rising lightweight Michael "Baby Face" Faragon (12-0, 6 KOs) of Guilderland, New York, scored the most impressive victory of his blossoming professional career Friday night (July 30) at Pugnacious Promotions' Night of Future Champions event at the City Center in Saratoga Springs, New York.

On an event designed to showcase young prospects, Faragon made the most of the opportunity by dominating and finally stopping Pawtucket, Rhode Island's formidable Eddie Soto (now 12-2) at 0:45 of the fourth round. From the opening bell, Faragon was in total control, dominating until the action was mercifully stopped. He dropped Soto with a viscous body shot in round one and went on to drop him several more times throughout the bout with beautiful combinations to the body and head.

"That was truly the most impressive performance of Mikey's young career," said his promoter, Greg Cohen of The Empire Sports and Entertainment. "He is a star in the making and a huge fan favorite in the Capitol region of upstate New York."
As the freshly turned 23-year-old matures, his punching power is becoming an important factor in his success. After going the distance four consecutive times to begin his career, Faragon has now stopped six out of his last eight opponents.

"He is the total package and I can't wait for him to be seen on a national TV network," continued Cohen. "There is zero doubt in my mind that the national audience will embrace Mikey in the same fashion as his hometown. In short order, Mikey Faragon will be a household name!"
