PhilBoxing.com


IMPORTANT HEAVYWEIGHT FIGHT TO BE STREAMED LIVE ON GFL.TV

CHICAGO, IL (May 14, 2012)-This Friday night two Heavyweights will slug it out in Dover, Delaware will slug it out as Franklin "Yah Yah" Lawrence (17-2-2, 12 KO's) takes on Mike Mollo (20-3-1, 12 KO's) for the vacant NABA title.

The bout can be seen over the world on www.gfl.tv ($9.99) by clicking: http://www.gfl.tv/Events/Fight/Boxing/Friday_Night_Fights/1487

Mollo has been training hard for this bout as the Chicago native knows the importance of the bout.

"Not only am I going to win but I will win in spectacular fashion. I have been putting in the hard work and have been in training camp for ten weeks", said Mollo from his training camp in Chicago.

Mollo does not put much stock in the five fight knockout streak that Lawrence is on that has catapulted to the number-twelve ranking by the WBC.

"He beat an out shape Jason Gavern and Jason Estrada. He has gotten off easy in those fights and if he wants to live off that then he is fooling himself"

Mollo is most remembered for gallant effort against Andrew Golota as part of the Roy Jones - Felix Trinidad HBO PPV undercard on January 19, 2008 and knows what the win will do for his career.

"This fight will get me back in the spotlight and I am not looking to squeak by with a decision"

Mollo, who hasn't fought since August 6, 2010 has been training hard to make sure he is primed and ready for Lawrence.

"I spar like it is a real fight and this long layoff doesn't mean anything because I am always in the gym. I was training for a fight last summer with Seth Mitchell on HBO and the fight got called off due to Robert Guerrero getting hurt and I would like to fight him if it's the right situation. I am a fighter"

"This fight with Lawrence begins my road to redemption. I am in great shape and I am ready to fight"

The action begins on www.gfl.tv at 7:30 pm with Mike Mittman calling the action with analysts Legendary Heavyweight champion Larry Holmes and Marc Abrams.
