(fighter profile) Pro Boxer:Frankie "Gato" Figueroa jr.

Surfing the net and making friends on facebook I meet some pretty interesting and talented people in the fight game.  A few days ago I befriended an American boxer named Gato Figueroa, he had shown me some of his work and let me know that he had some experience in wrestling before his boxing.I was impressed and that got me to thinking that he would make for a perfect cross-over star to welcome American fans and boxing fans to our site.  Gato Figueroa is a world class boxer who has fought for the NABF title, he is also interested in teaching his world class skills to others, so if you are in need of some polishing in your stand-up game message "Gato".
