FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NEW YORK (May 5, 2011)—One of the most popular fighters in New York will return after a three year hiatus from the ring as Edgar Santana gets back in action as he will be challenged by tough Robert Jones that will highlight Punchin at The Paradise 11 that can be seen LIVE all over the world on www.gfl.tv

The action can be seen for just $9.99 at 7:30 EST by clicking: http://www.gfl.tv/Events/Fight/Boxing/Punchin_at_the_Paradise_11__Cinco_De_Mayo/1028

Santana of Bronx, NY was beset by legal problems that kept him on the sidelines and is now back at Welterweight. With a couple wins he will set his sights on the cream of the division.

Santana sports a very impressive record of 24-3 with fifteen big knockouts which includes wins over Meachor Major (12-2-1); Dairo Esales (30-6); Mike Gonzalez (10-2); Grover Wiley (30-10-1) and in his last bout he scored an impressive ten round majority decision over now world ranked Josesito Lopez (22-2) in a bout that took place on April 11, 2008.

Santana has been chomping at the bit and will have many of the fans, who stood by him through his turbulent times, both in attendance and watching on www.gfl.tv to support him.

Jones of Ann Arbor, Michigan told www.gfl.tv that he is not your ordinary 8-8 fighter and his record proves it as fought seven undefeated fighters as well as a decision loss to New York Prospect Mike Ruiz in a bout that many felt Jones should have got the decision.

“The first time I fought in New York, I should have won that Ruiz fight. Now I am back to right that wrong and if Santana thinks I am just the average opponent, he will be mistaken”

The show, which is promoted by Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing will feature the companies two latest signees in Featherweight Emanuel Gonzalez and Super Middleweight Jason Escalera.

Gonzalez of New York, has a record of 7-0 with six knockouts will take on Jacob Thornton of St. Louis.

Escalera of Union City, New Jersey has built up a reputation as being a devastating knockout artist will put his perfect record of 10-0 with nine knockouts when he takes on the battle tested Mustphah Johnson

Johnson will defiantly be a test for Escalera as he has been in the ring with contender Gabriel Rosado (twice); Gee Cullmer (13-1-1); Darryl Cunningham (15-2); Joe Linefelser (8-0-1); former world title challenger Elvin Ayala (20-5-1) and his last bout against Jose Alonzao (11-0)

Those are just three of six big bouts that will also feature undefeated prospects Stivens Bujac (3-0, 2 KO’s) and Issouf Kinda (9-0, 4 KO’s)
