Theophane, the bane of Garcia, gets robbed in Texas!

In the co-main event, finding himself in deep waters with Ashley Theophane, from across the Big Pond, Danny Garcia of Philadelphia eked and squeaked by to win a ten-round split decision. The U.S.-debuting Theophane was a lateral move in opposition – but extending himself in his first distance fight at ten rounds nearly proved Garcia’s undoing.

While Garcia stalked his prey in the first, Theophane found a target for his single-thrown rights and left hooks. In the second, Garcia closed the distance, landing rights up and downstairs. The third was somewhat even, Theophane landing overhand rights at range while Garcia worked his jab. Garcia started to land with consistency in the fourth, then mixed it up with body shots in the fifth. In round six, Theophane, not quite fading, was presenting a stern test for Garcia. Though landing overhand rights, Theophane showed he could take Garcia’s rights and occasional left uppercuts....click here to read more

Donovan George Flattens Phil Williams in 3 rounds!

CHICAGO – Donovan George is a good looking and likeable – if somewhat brash – 25-year-old kid who does back flips after he wins.  He really buys into his nickname, “Da Bomb,” but in all fairness, he’s an undefeated knockout artist who improves with every fight.   

Surveying the boxing ring in his street clothes several hours before tonight’s match, the lanky fighter who stands about an even six foot tall says of his opponent, Phil “The Drill” Williams, “He’s made for me.  He said that he’d knock me out in the second round. (With me) at 18 and oh, he’s not going to be the one to do it!”  He smiles.  Leaning in closer, he says, “He’s slow.  He’s going to walk into something when he comes forward (to knock me out).”...for more click here

Cestus Fighters on the rise in the Summer Heat!


Cestus Management has a busy summer planned for its young talent laden stable of prospects which will see its fighters engage in action through the months of June, July and August.

The summer program kicked off in brutal fashion as this past Friday, June 12, 2009 , the “Barbarian” Jairo Martinez entertained the sold-out crowd in Laredo , Texas , at the Laredo Civic Center . Martinez (132 pounds) took on tough Laredo native Eddie Ramirez (132 pounds) in a four round match. The obligatory opening “feel out round” was nonexistent as Ramirez came out with his guns blazing attempting to discourage the “Barbarian”. This tact would not only prove ineffective, but very costly for the Laredo fighter as Martinez withstood the opening onslaught and responded with some heavy artillery of his own. The last thirty-seconds of the opening round were a sign of things to come as Jairo backed Ramirez into the ropes and unloaded merciless shots to both his (Ramirez) head and body. The remaining three rounds were a vicious display of barbaric behavior as Martinez constantly backed Ramirez up and punished him with a horrific leather assault that brought the crown in attendance to frenzy. In the end, Jairo “Barbarian” Martinez improved to 3-0 with a unanimous decision victory.....more

He had Arnaoutis spar with an 18-0 prospect by the name of Steven Murray, and as Michael recalls Arnaoutis more than held his own. He immediately signed up Arnaoutis....more
