REPORT

Galarza Wins by DQ[2]
By Jerry Glick at ringside; FightNews September 22nd, 2014
With the cancelation of the Star of David show two days before, a couple of the fights that were scheduled for 
the undercard were switched to Saturday’s New Legend Boxing card at Resorts World Casino in Queens, New York.
In the main event, popular Brooklyn junior middleweight Frank “Notorious” Galarza (15-0-2, KOs) looked 
impressive out classing and frustrating Jhonathan Batista (14-3, 7 KOs). The first two rounds were competitive 
however Galarza dropped Batista in the third round of with a heavy left hook to the ribs. After the knockdown, 
Batista got desperate, losing a point in the fourth for rabbit punching then getting DQ’d for intentionally 
hitting behind the head in the same round by referee Harvey Dock. Time of the end came at 45 seconds of round 
four.
It was a spirited contest between junior lightweights Trevis Hall and Angel Garcia until Hall landed a hard 
right that decked Garcia in the third frame. After the knockdown, it was all Hall who chased a reluctant Garcia 
(7-3, 2 KOs) all over the ring for the rest of the fight. Not much landed after the knockdown but that was not 
Hall’s fault. He tried, but could not catch up to Garcia. Hall (6-1-1, 1 KO) would have been better served if he 
knew how to cut the ring off. All of the judges tallied the contest at 59-54 for Hall. Danny Schiavone refereed.
Featherweights Danny Aquino and Jhovanny Collado gave the fans something to cheer about as they took turns 
staggering each other with crude, wide punches. The fight started as a punch-for-punch slugfest. Both fighters 
threw from all angles and it was fairly close until late in round four when a hard right decked Collado. When he 
got up he was in bad shape, but he still managed to hurt Aquino. The judges had Aquino ahead of Collado by a 
close margin with scores of 57-55 twice and 56-56 even making it a majority decision for Aquino. Aquino improved 
to 16-2 with 10 KOs and Collado fell to 4-10-2 with1 KO). Johnny Callas refereed.
In an awkward six round junior lightweight encounter Floriano Pagliara (15-7-2, 7 KOs) and lanky Jose Del Valle 
(4-7-3) went at it in a wild swinging brawl that saw Del Valle hit the canvas in the opening frame. When he got 
to his feet he was met by Pagliara who wanted to end it right there. Del Valle survived the assault and used his 
reach to keep Pagliara at bay. The judges awarded a split decision to Del Valle with the scores of 57-56 twice 
and 59-54.
Cruiserweights Jay Rodriguez (3-0-1, 3 KOs) and James Jenkins (1-2-1, 1 KO) put on a “non-fight” that did not 
make it out of the opening round. Rodriguez connected with a single left hook that put Jenkins down in the first 
minute of the first round. When Jenkins rose, referee Harvey Dock did not like what he saw and stopped it after 
only 50 seconds.
Super middleweights Devaun Lee and Troy Artis put on a Pier Six brawl with the smoother boxing Lee landing the 
cleaner shots throughout. Then late in the fourth and final round Lee landed a left-right-left combination that 
dropped Artis near a corner. Artis tried to fight back but he looked spent. The judges tallied the contest at 
38-37 twice and 39-36 all for Lee who improved to (3-0, 1 KO). Artis fell to (3-5-1, 2 KOs). Danny Schiavone 
refereed.
Tall middleweight Alantez Fox (13-0-1, 4 KOs) scored a unanimous six from a limited, but determined Jonathan 
Garcia (4-9, 1 KO). The long arms of Fox were able to keep Garcia at bay, but he was not able to maintain that 
at all times. Garcia constantly rushed in but most often found himself tied up inside. Fox landed hard left 
hooks to the body as well as the head. His reach was the difference in the fight. He not only used it at long 
range, but managed to land when they were wrestling inside. The scores were 59-55 twice and 60-54.
In a welterweight war, Dimash Niyazov (6-0-3, 4 KOs) hit the deck for the first time as a pro when Jamell Tyson 
(3-11-3, 1 KO) landed a straight left from his southpaw stance that dumped the undefeated Niyazov on his rump 
in round two. Niyazov got the point back when referee Steve Willis scored a knockdown in the third when Tyson’s 
knees appeared to touch the canvas. Niyazov boxed and moved around the ring with Tyson chasing to keep it close. 
The judges were split, 38-36 for each man and 37-37 even from the remaining judge, making the decision a split draw.
In the opening bout, junior middleweight Peter Dobson (1-0) made his first pro fight count as he landed jabs 
followed by rights and sometimes he threw left hooks and rights even doubling up on his punches to dominate the 
(still) winless Mack Babb (0-5). It was an unanimous decision for Dobson with all scores tallied at 40-36. Danny 
Schiavone refereed.

Galarza Remains Unbeaten
SecondsOut September 23, 2014[3]
Last Saturday (Sept 20), Brooklyn fan favorite junior middleweight Frank Galarza remained unbeaten while headlining an 
exciting night of action promoted by New Legend Boxing, at Resorts World Casino, in Jamaica, NY.
Both junior middleweight Alantez Fox and featherweight Danny Aquino were also successful in comeback fights on the undercard. 
All three dynamic prospects are co-promoted by DiBella Entertainment and New Legend Boxing.
Facing the awkward Jonathan Batista, of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, in an eight-round contest, Galarza, 153¾, started 
off by patiently stalking his foe over the first two frames. In the third, the Brooklynite picked up the pace, digging to the 
body. Trapping Batista, 152¾, in his own corner, Galarza landed a powerful left hook downstairs to drop him to a knee. From 
then on, the hometowner was in complete control, while Batista grew increasingly frustrated, resorting to dirty tactics. 
Referee Harvey Dock deducted a point from Batista in round four for hitting behind the head and ultimately had to disqualify 
him at 0:45 of the fifth frame for repeated infractions. With the loss, Batista’s record fell to 14-4 (7 KOs). World ranked 
by the World Boxing Council (WBC) and now 15-0-2 (9 KOs), the charismatic and talented Galarza is on the rise and poised for 
stardom.

"It felt great to fight in front of my hometown fans again," said Galarza. "This was my sixth fight at Resorts in Queens, and my fan 
base continues to grow. I have people coming to see me from all over, Boston, Chicago, Connecticut, wherever. I must be doing something 
right. I felt good in there against Batista, but I was a little too anxious to knock him out. I was looking for that one big punch, but 
then I adjusted and began to break him down. Batista started getting a little dirty, but I kept my composure. Whether he was disqualified 
or not, it didn’t matter. He was going to get knocked out eventually. I got the win and that’s what matters. Now, it’s back to training 
and I’m just looking forward to the next fight."

Former Galarza rival and now promotional stable mate Alantez Fox, 157, of Forestville, MD, returned to the ring following a 53-week 
absence while sorting out managerial issues. Shaking off the ring rust against the upset-minded Jonathan Garcia, 156½, of Cerro Gordo, 
Puerto Rico, the 6’5" Fox established a distance early on with his long jab and superior reach. Garcia did his best to close the gap, 
winging hooks to the midsection. By the middle rounds, Fox did fight in close quarters to Garcia’s advantage on occasion. However, he 
wisely switched tactics to focus on straight punches to ward off his opponent’s advances. As Garcia tired down the stretch, Fox used 
right hook pot shots to keep him at bay. Punctuating the fight by pinning Garcia against the ropes with flurries, Fox earned a 
unanimous six-round decision on tallies of 60-54, and 59-55 twice, to improve to 13-0-1 (4 KOs).
"Having been off for so long, I was kind of nervous excited going into the fight," said Fox. "Garcia was a real durable, tough guy and 
he landed some good shots on me. I was working on my patience and picking my shots in there. I did feel a bit rusty, but once I got into 
my groove, the fight wasn’t too challenging. I’ll be back in the gym by next week and would love to stay active and fight again in the 
next few months."

Mexican featherweight Danny Aquino, from Meriden, Conn., ended an 18-month layoff to secure a six-round majority decision victory in what 
was a wild shootout against the very game local Dominican Jhovanny Collado, of Jamaica, Queens. From the opening bell, Aquino, 122, 
displayed relentless pressure and pure aggression as he swarmed Collado, 124, who was more than willing to return fire. Working his way 
inside with combinations to the body and landing his overhand right upstairs, Aquino dominated much of the action. However, he survived 
a scare in round four when Collado caught him coming in to drop him twice. Fighting on instinct, Aquino managed to hurt his adversary by 
round’s end. The pair never let up for the remainder of the contest, often bringing the raucous crowd to their feet. Scorecards read 
57-55 twice, and 56-56, to award Aquino the verdict. At 16-2 (10 KOs), Aquino is an all-action brawler looking to work his way back into 
the world rankings.
"It felt good to come back," said Aquino, "but I never expected to end up on the floor like that in the fourth round. I just dropped my 
hands a little bit, got careless and he caught me with one of his wild hooks, but I got up and did what I had to do to win. I boxed a 
little bit in the fifth to clear my head and was fine by the last round. Other than that one round, I knew I was in control and winning 
the fight. Whatever DiBella Entertainment and New Legend Boxing think is good for me next, I’ll take. I will fight anybody."
"It was great to see Fox and Aquino back in the ring after such a long layoff," said Felipe Gomez, of New Legend Boxing. "I think both 
fighters   demonstrated that they are ready to step it up and take on bigger fights. Galarza’s fan base turned out in full force to watch 
him break down a tough veteran in Batista with body shots. I believe Galarza has what it takes to be in the mix for a title fight in the 
near future. All three of these fighters are exciting to watch and worthy of televised fights."
"Galarza is definitely ready to take the next step toward becoming a contender. He truly has the talent and the personality to become a 
major star in boxing," said Lou DiBella, President of DiBella Entertainment. "I’m happy that Fox and Aquino were able to get back into 
the ring and shake off the cobwebs with impressive victories. Both fighters have a lot of potential and we will work hard to get them the 
best possible opportunities."
