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

Cestus fighter
“Da’Bomb” George Destroys Williams!
Last Friday night at the UIC Pavilion in
Chicago , Illinois , fight fans were treated to another great night of boxing
as Chicago’s native son, Cestus Management Fighter Donovan George, scored
another jaw dropping win. “DA BOMB” (19-0-0 w/17 Kos ) completely
dominated and destroyed Phil “The Drill” Williams knocking him out in 2:43
of the 3rd round. In the 3 rounds that the fight lasted George showed that he
is starting to evolve into a formidable fighter as his speed, boxing aptitude
and shocking power all came together as he executed the big punching Williams
with brutal efficiency. “DA BOMB’s” sharp jab, power combination’s and
balanced footwork were just too much for “The Drill” to handle.
Gina Iacovou, Cestus Management’s CEO,
said, “This really is a big win for Don as (Phil) Williams has fought very
good opposition in his career and stopped most of his opponents. This is the
type of performance that let us know that Donovan is ready to take the next
step in his boxing career.”... for

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

combination’s to the head and body. In the 3rd round Gomez stepped it up
by using double jabs followed by booming straight right hands down the
middle that connected to the side of the head of the game Roville.
Gomez sensing that Roville was hurt
immediately followed up with an assortment of punches to the head and body
that left Roville defenseless and backed up on the ropes taking shots,
causing the referee to stop the fight in the last minute of the round. The
fight was part of an ESPN 2 Friday Night Fights under card. Gomez,

star Raymond "Lino" Gatica: Makes Cestus Debut Dec 17 2009
Raymond "LINO" Gatica made his Cestus Management
debut an exciting one by knocking out tough and durable Texan Julio Perez in
the fifth round of a scheduled six round bout. The fight card was held on
Thursday December 17th at the San Antonio Events Center in San Antonio, Texas.
The arena was filled with Gatica fans who traveled from the nearby city of Austin, Texas
to give their support to Gatica who also hails from the Texas state capital.
The undefeated Gatica (11-0-0 w/6kos) was sharp throughout the contest and
clinically dissected the game Perez with hard combination and a lethal jab.
Perez, who hails from the Rio Grande Valley , found himself immediately on the
defensive as “Ray LINO” unloaded power shots that quickly hurt Perez.
Julio attempted to stop Gatica’s aggression by upping his own aggression.

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

was working with Lennox Lewis' former promoter Panos Eliades, and promoting
fights in the Mediterranean and the Eastern Bloc countries...
Michael
took Arnaoutis to London and let him spar in the Lennox Lewis center in London
to see just how good the kid was. 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
