Bobby Gunn destroys Gregory in four rounds!
Published March 2, 2009 by Martin Bean
Lyndhurst, NJ—After his beatdown of Brad Gregory, Bobby “The Celtic Warrior” Gunn showed that he is as determined as ever for a crack at an elite fighter.
“I am so hungry for another shot”, said Gunn, who has been impatiently waiting to challenge for a title since he was stopped prematurely against then WBO champion Enzo Maccarinelli in 2007. “I’ve been in this boxing game a long time and have paid my dues. I am a seasoned veteran who will be highly ranked in the WBA and WBC shortly, so the champions will have no excuses to avoid me".
Gunn 21-3-1 (18 KO’s) handled Gregory start to finish, dropping him twice in the fourth round which forced referee Brian O’Melia to call the one sided affair to a halt. With the victory, Gunn became the new WBA-NABA Cruiserweight champion while retaining his WBC-USNBC title in the process. Gunn was pleased with his victory, especially considering the circumstances which he feared were going to throw him off his game.
“I became severely sick in the middle of last week”, said Gunn who is still battling a fever, which made his most crucial days of training excessively difficult. “If I didn’t fight with heart, I would have lost no question about it”. “I definitely have to think God because without him, I wouldn’t have made it”.
Atop Gunn’s most wanted list is WBC champion Giacobbe Fragomeni and WBA titleholder Guillermo Jones. Gunn is prepared to stamp his passport anywhere around the world to get another shot.
“In all honesty, I want to fight Fragomeni so badly I can’t even explain it”, said Gunn, who fought in the main event last night at Medieval Times. “Our styles compliment each other so whether we fought in New Jersey or Italy, the fans will get a great fight”. “Guillermo Jones on the other hand is a fighter I have a ton of respect for because he has fought all over the world much like I have”. It doesn’t matter who I face, when or where the fight is, all I know is that I am ready”, said the former IBA champion.
