Don Chargin {Boxing Matchmaker}

Despite the lackluster performance of Antonio Gomez last night, Don Chargin is still 'hell bent'
on getting a World Championship bout for the Venezuelan.

"I'm going to Sendai,Japan next month, to try an convince the winner of the WBA Featherweight
Championship bout between Champion - Shozo Saijo and Frankie Crawford to fight Antonio Gomez."

"Saijo and Crawford are scheduled to fight on July 5th. I have already talked to the Misako Kanehara
{Manager of Shozo Saijo}, and he said that 'if the money is right', they will come to Los Angeles at
the end of August, providing the bout with Frankie Crawford goes as planned and without too
much difficulty."
