BROOKLYN,

remained perfect as he thrilled a packed house at the Aviator Sports
Complex when he took out Franklin Gonzales in the eighth round of the
Welterweight contest.
That results as the perfect
ending for Ali as it an was successful evening for Ali’s
first promotion with his new company Worldkid Promotions. Ali thrilled his legions of fans with
a diverse attack as he used both hands and continued to back Gonzalez
up. Ali
had Gonzalez throughout the contest and finally was able to score a
knockdown in round eight. Ali closed the show in spectacular
fashion as a thunderous combination that sent Gonzalez down for a
second time and the bout was stopped at 2:22 of round eight. With the victory, Ali captured the WBU
America’s title. “It was a great night and I
just have to thank my fans”, said the 2008 U.S. Olympian. “I wanted to get the
knockout so bad for them and it was a fitting end to a great
night” Some of New York’s finest
boxers were in attendance to support Ali such as WBA Welterweight
champion Paulie Malignaggi and 2012 U.S. Olympian Marcus Browne. In the co-feature,
