Chester, PA (Mahuru 28, 2016)–Undefeated junior welterweight Rawiri “TwoGunz” Gonzales is looking for a big effort this Po te Paraire when he takes on the tested Samuel mehua in an eight-round bout that will headline a 9-fight card at Harrahs Philadelphia.

The show is promoted by King;s Promotions.

Gonzales o Philadelphia he lekooti o 8-0-2 ki e rua knockouts. Te 26 year-old ha won three in a row since stepping up his level of competition.

“Training ha been great. I been on weight since five days before the fight. Ite ahau kaha, and I am ready for a big win on Friday,” Said Gonzalez.

This won’t be the first time that Gonzales and Teah have shared a ring, so Gonzales has a little scouting report on his opponent.

“I sparred with him once and he is a pretty skillful guy. He is from Philly, so I know he has heart but he is not on my level. The sparring session was about 6 rauna. I haven’t watched any tape on him, but I know the only way he can win is if he is in better shape and I know that’s not possible because I am great shape. I am also naturally bigger, so I think that will be a factor.”

This is another “Philly vs. Philly” matchup, which is always special to the fans in attendance.

“We are both from Philly. People look forward to seeing these matchups and especially this early in our careers, but I am the one that will have my hands raised.”

“He is known in Philly and he had a big win over (previously undefeated” O'Shaquie Foster. I will show that I am on that level and this will start getting me higher profile fights.”
