Two weeks ago, Cestus Management’s 168-pound prospect Donovan George made his Top Rank debut a memorable one as he blasted out tough veteran fighter Kendall Gould in less than two minutes of the first round.  The fight, which took place in Cicero, Illinois, was part of a Top Rank promoted show.  There were many “Da’Bomb” fans in attendance and they were not disappointed with his performance. 

 

Although Gould’s professional record is nothing to write home about, the veteran’s competition has been top level yet he had never been destroyed in such an emphatic manner.  It was exactly the type of performance that causes a buzz in the world of boxing and gives prospects the “must see” title.  “I’m only getting better and my time is coming.  No disrespect to (Kendell) Gould, but I knew that he was going to get embarrassed.  I’m getting ready to keep moving forward and my wins are only going to get more spectacular,” said an excited Donovan George from his home base of Chicago, Illinois.

 

Winning in spectacular fashion is nothing new to “Da’Bomb” as he has had several exciting knockouts in his young thirteen fight career.  Although there are several fighters out there that can crack, it is Donovan’s charismatic personality that separates him from the pack.  “I’m powerful, good-looking, and love to fight.  Those are the kind of attributes that fans of the sport look for in a fighter.  They (fans) love me because I give them good action fights.”  George continued, “I’m not only a fighter, I’m also an entertainer.  I believe that people pay good hard earned money and feel that it is my responsibility that they go home happy.”

 

And fans going home happy is something that Top Rank, George’s new promoter, are banking on as having a young, strong, handsome super middleweight prospect can easily translate into some serious money. Donovan offered his thoughts on being represented by such a powerful and respected company such as Top Rank: “My team at Cestus Management made all the right moves and know all the right people and they were able to put this together and get me a chance to show that I am an elite fighter.”  

George continued, “When you have a professional team like Cestus who has all the experience and know who boxing works, it makes it all that much better for a young fighter like me because I am able to focus on training and fighting.  I have full confidence in my management team and that is something that is very important for any fighter.”

 

And in regards to Top Rank’s expectation “Da’Bomb” said, “I can’t wait to show everyone that I am a Top Rank fighter and that I belong with one of the most powerful promotional companies in the world.  I mean just look at their history for developing fighters.  The possibilities are endless for my career and I know that with Cestus and Top Rank behind me, I will meet my potential.”

 

In closing, Donovan George had this message, “Be looking out for “Da’Bomb” because when I hit any town you won’t want to miss it.  I especially want the ladies to check me out at www.cestusmanagement.com so that they can see just how stunning my movie star looks are.  I’m the next big thing in boxing and the fans can always be sure that when I fight, they will get their monies worth.”

 

With that kind of self-confidence and bravado, it is hard not to want to watch this kid fight.  One gets a feeling that Don “Da’Bomb” George is either going to be famous or infamous.  It will be fun watching him become one or the other.
