March 15, Hinckley Grand Casino next stop for Aaron “Gorilla” Green (10,0) 8 by big time KO…

Posted on by

Aaron “Gorilla” Green (10,0) is coming off of his 10th victory as a pro heavyweight. He has been one of Minnesota’s busiest fighters and things don’t look to slow down any time soon. He fights a featured bout against King Kong this Friday in Hinckley Minnesota. One month after Gorilla Green is slated to fight April 13 in the twin ports at Wessman Arena. For many fighters all this activity may be hard, but I’ve known Mr. Green since he turned pro, and he would be working his butt off fight or no fight.

Along with all the action team Green has been getting in the ring, they have also had to listen to the non stop speculation of a showdown with former Viking, Ray Edwards… While Green and his team have no worries of that fight, they are maintaining focus on what is real and in front of them. Edwards has a pretty big step up fight Friday night as well… But the big former NFLer has a lot of business to take care of before talks of Green are real.

Team Green has made a point of getting great work in for these fights, sparring with the best Minnesota has to offer in Raph Butler and Joey Abell. As those who have seen Mr. Green in the past know, he is worth a ticket and it will not be long before people are talking about and seeing him along side some of the nations top heavyweight prospects.

Below are a few Q & A questions with Mr. Green… Follow MNBoxingLeague on facebook and twitter. We are still working on our twitter, but FB is very active…

You recently achieved 10 wins, how did it feel?

Green….Getting 10 wins was one of my goals as a pro!! It was an awesome feeling that night. Getting to 10 has made me more hungry and motivated to keep the momentum going.

March 15, you face King Kong, a man who looks to equal you in size. Does his size change the way you prepare?

Green….No, his size doesn’t change too much. I have gotten much stronger these past few months and I feel it will help. Also, I like to bang and box, so I am looking forward to it.

I know your focus is on March 15, has all the Ray Edwards talk been something you spend any time thinking about?

Green….No, I try to stay away from all of that talk. It is a huge distraction to what I am trying to accomplish.

Your fight included, what should fans expect this Friday at Hinckley Grand Casino?

Green….Lots of HEART!! I have worked very hard this past year and I want to show people my dedication to this great sport! Also, there should be lots of good match ups.

Gorilla Green will get in the ring with Raymond “King Kong” Ochieng (24,16,3)… King Kong is virtually the same size as Mr. Green… Should be some heavy hitting action… Green has been getting work in with Joey “Minnesota Ice” Abell (28,6) as he prepares for March 15.

March 15, Pro Boxing!! Grandma’s Duluth, MN and Hinckley Grand Casino, Hinckley, MN….

Duluth’s show is a pro/am featuring two pro fights, Boxrec, Jungle Boy Boxing.… Duluth’s Al Sands will be featured along with Brad Herroff of Saint Paul, MN.. Sands trainer/manager/promoter, Zach Walters has said Al will be making a big step up in competition but his opponent is still listed as the dreaded TBA….. Hopefully they do bring in a live body for Mr. Sands, again he is a rock solid 200 pounds with power and length… He is now (7,1) but never really tested other than his loss to TJ Gibson… Bringing in out of shape 40 year old welterweights and middleweights will make the record look nice but does nothing for experience… Brad Herroff looked great his last time out and at (2,0) we expect him to give another thrilling performance… Follow MNBoxingLeague on facebook and twitter. We are still working on our twitter, but FB is very active…

Aaron “Gorilla” Green (10,0) is fighting King Kong, a man who may even be bigger than Mr. Green… Another fight MANY are talking about, former MN Viking, Ray Edwards facing his second live opponent in Van Goodman… A statement will made, Edwards can prove he is a real challenge at heavy and ready to take it to the next level..

Ray Edwards vs Aaron Green? “Show me a contract, then we will talk”

Posted on by

There has been a lot of talk on twin cities radio about Edwards stepping up to Aaron “Gorilla” Green (10,0)… Team Green has stated in the past that if they were given a contract they would get in with former NFLer turned pro boxer Ray Edwards… We got to talk to team green yesterday… Green’s management said “No need to talk about that fight, contracts talk” We take that to mean, talk is talk…. It’s our opinion that the true up and coming Heavy in regional boxing is (10,0) Aaron “Gorilla” Green… Not sure that Edwards (3,0) is ready to step up that far in competition… For the latest Follow MNBoxingLeague on facebook and twitter.

Ray Edwards (former Viking/Falcon) continues his boxing journey February 9 in Fargo, ND….

Posted on by

Saturday’s show in Fargo ND will be headlined by area favorite Tyler “The Hitman” Hultin, and loaded with young area fighters…Card as it stands according to boxrec. While heavyweights are becoming less seen on many shows, Fargo’s event will have three fights featuring the big men…

Aaron "Gorilla" Green

Aaron “Gorilla” Green (9,0) is one of the regions best up and coming fighters. At 270 plus pounds, he has the size to get in there with any of today’s heavies… He is built rock solid and has speed and quickness of a much smaller fighter. Gorilla Green is coming off of a UD victory January 25. Green will face Preston Shane on Saturday.

Ray Edwards, Carlos Gonzalez, Star Tribune

Ray Edwards (2,0) also fought and won easily January 25 in his second trip to the pro boxing ring…. Ray has the size and athletic ability to make some noise in the ring. For the most part, his boxing ability will remain an unknown until he gets more time in the ring. From all reports and from seeing his short performance on the 25th, he looks to have improved greatly in his movement and ring feel.. One problem a lot of big athletic heavyweights have is finding opponents, that will not be a problem for Mr Edwards as it seems every big man is looking to step in the ring with him. Follow MNBoxingLeague on Twitter. and MNBoxingLeague on Facebook.

Travis Fulton vs Casey Olson rounds out the heavies, could they be fighting for a chance to get in the ring with Edwards?

Saturday February 9 brings boxing back the the Crown Plaza in Saint Paul… Card as it stands on boxrec. Phil “The Drill” Williams (11,5,1) vs Shujaa El Amin (12,3) should be a fun one… 10 of The Drill’s victories have come by brutal KO…. Also one to watch is Vicente Alfaro (5,3) vs “Bad” Brad Patraw (9,4) for the MN super bantam title….. More to come.

 

Saturday February 9 in Fargo ND bring Tyler “The Hitman” Hultin in the main event… His fights are always exciting and usual steal the show…. Aaron “Gorilla” Green will be featured as well.
