Speaking from his home in Milwaukee, the Puerto Rican native Gonzalez stated, “I’ve been training since mid February and I’m in very good shape. I haven’t seen Alvarado fight but I’m going in with a very solid game plan and I’m confident that I’ll be successful.

I know in his last fight he fought Jorge Paez Jr. for six tough rounds, so I’m prepared for a very solid battle.”

In closing Gonzales stated, “The fans at the Par A Dice were great, it’s a first class place to fight. Put a Puerto Rican like me in with a Mexican and they should get what they came for.”

Said Pesoli, “Mike’s great to deal with, a true professional. Always in shape, always on time and always ready to fight. Fans in Peoria and Chicago have really taken to him as one of their favorites. We’re very happy to bring him back to the Par A Dice Hotel and Casino on Saturday night.”
