David Gonzales looking to rebound this Saturday night against Juan Rodriguez at The SugarHouse Casino in Philadelphia

Philadelphia, PA. (March 8, 2017) – Super Lightweight prospect David Gonzales is looking to rebound from his 1st professional setback when he takes on Juan Rodriguez in the 6-round co-feature bout this Saturday night at the SugarHouse Casino in Philadelphia.

The show is promoted by King’s Promotions.

In the 8-round main event, Tyrone Brunson (23-6-2, 22 KO’s) takes on Brandon Quarles (18-3-1, 9 Ko’s) in a middleweight bout.

Gonzales, 27 years old originally from Philadelphia, but now calls San Antonio home, and is coming off a stunning 1st round stoppage defeat to Samuel Teah on November 11th.

“Training is going well in Texas. I come down here as I have a job selling solar panels. The sparring is great. There are a lot of tough Mexican fighters down here. They come hard and are always in shape,” Said Gonzales.

Gonzales now 8-1-2 with two knockouts, has gone back to the drawing board, and is working hard on his craft.

“I have been working on getting better on defense, boxing, just my balance and skills.”

In Rodriguez, he is facing a competitor that has a record of 6-6-1 with five knockouts, and has a knockout victory over previously undefeated Philly area fighter Nathaniel Rivas.

“I don’t know much other then he is tough, and comes to fight. He isn’t the most skilled fighter, but I hear he hits hard. But you can never underestimate any fighter.”

Gonzales views the Teah fight as just a slight setback and a learning experience, and he doesn’t feel that he was knocked too far off track of realizing his goals.

“I just want to get back in the win column. Then maybe two more wins and fight an undefeated fighter, so I can move up the rankings. I am a confident fighter. I just got caught with a punch behind the head against Teah, and that’s boxing.”

“I just want people to know that I am back, and ready for a big win this Saturday. I just want to keep getting better and become a world champion.”

In 6-round bouts:

Victor Vasquez (6-2, 2 KO’s) of Yonkers, NY fights Mike Fowler (5-6, 2 KO’s) of Milwaukee, WI in a super lightweight bout.

Philadelphia, PA. (March 2, 2017) – Middleweight’s Tyrone Brunson is ready for his bout with Brandon Quarles that will be the eight-round main event on Saturday, March 11th as King’s Promotions will stage it’s first show at the SugarHouse Casino in Philadelphia.

Brunson of Philadelphia has a record of 23-6-2, with 22 knockouts.

The 32 year-old Brunson turned professional in 2005, and started his career with 19 consecutive 1st round knockouts. Included in that streak was a stoppage over James Morrow (8-1-2). In his last bout Brunson and Ismael Garcia fought to a 10-round draw on October 14, 2016 in Philadelphia.

“My camp has been great,” said Brunson. “I don’t know much about Quarles, but I am coming to work. I don’t know if he will be putting in the work that I will on March 11.”

Brunson, who a decade ago was destined for greatness, believes a win will put him right back in the mix for a title shot.

“This win would put me closer to my dream. Weather it is fighting for the USBA title or the NABF, I know something big will come after this.”

“It is great to fight at home. It puts me in a comfort zone to fight in front of my home crowd. I want to thank King’s Promotions for believing in me, and also want to thanks the fans of Philadelphia and around the world for sticking by me.”

Quarles of Alexandria, Virginia has a record of 18-3-1 with 9 knockouts.

The 30 year-old Quarles is a 7 year veteran, and has won 5 straight fights, with the latest being 6-round unanimous decision over Marcos Primera on June 25, 2016 in Greensboro, North Carolina.

“My training has gone really well,” said Quarles. “I have seen Brunson fight on Showtime, and I haven’t seen anything from him that is over my head. This is a good fight for me. I am going into his hometown as the B-Side on his promoters card, so I know what I have to do,”

Quarles realizes what a win would do to kickstart his career.

“A win would boost my career. I am not just an opponent, I am a guy who comes to win. I am ready for a solid fight, and show the people what I am all about. I don’t run my mouth, I let my fighting do the talking.”

“He knows how to lose, and so do I, so we will see who wants it more on March 11.”

Undefeated fighters Kent Cruz and Darius Ervin collide in top undercard bout on Saturday night in Fort Washington, Maryland

Fort Washington, Maryland (November 4, 2016)–A pair of Uudefeated junior welterweight’s collide in a top undercard as Kent Cruz (11-0, 6 KO’s) takes on Darius Ervin (3-0) as part of a big night of boxing Saturday night at the Rosecroft Raceway in Fort Washington, Maryland.

The card which is promoted by King’s Promotions, will feature undefeated junior welterweight Mykal Fox battling Juan Rodriguez in the eight-round main event.

The 23 year-old Cruz is coming off his biggest win to date, when he scored 8 round unanimous decision over previously undefeated Rickey Edwards on September 3rd in San Antonio.

The St. Louis native is ready for another win over an undefeated opponent.

“Camp went great. I had great sparring and just good training for this bout,” said Cruz.”I know Ervin is tall and rangy and likes to work from the outside.”

Cruz started to generate a little buzz after his win over Edwards and he became a name on some prospect lists.

“I got good feedback after that win. It was a great win to showcase my skills, and coming back so quick is good as I need to stay busy.”

Even though it was an impressive performance in the NBC Sports Network televised fight, Cruz believes he could have been even better against Edwards.

“I felt I could have stopped him. What I learned in that fight is when I get a fighter hurt and I need to finish him. I should have worked the body more and I could have stopped him.”

With a win on Saturday night, Cruz sees himself making a big move in 2017.

“I am hoping for big things next year. I am looking to get in the mix for a regional title, which will get me ranked and just stay active.”

Ervin, who is originally from Charlotte, North Carolina but now calls Los Angeles home is not in the least awed by Cruz’s big win over Edwards.

“My camp went well. I took this fight on short notice, but that isn’t a big deal. We stay ready, so we don’t have to get ready. Cruz is a decent fighter, but no disrespect, I do not feel he is on my level. I just focus on what I have to do in there and not focus on him. I am on weight and ready to go,”said Ervin.

Ervin is a strong minded fighter, who knows what a win can do for him.

“I am self motivated. He fought a good fighter in his last fight,, but he didn’t fight me. He doesn’t have my skills. Signing with King’s Promotions has given me motivation and I thank them for the opportunity. I don’t care what anybodies record is, because I am in the gum everyday and I stay in shape. Weather I have a fight or not, I am always fine tuning and staying in shape. I am the King and I am ready to defend my throne. I just know I am going to bring my best and I hope he brings his.”

Luther Smith (5-1, 4 KO’s) of Bowie, MD will fight Mike Marshall (3-0, 3 KO’s) of Bronx, NY in a cruiserweight bout.
