Heading into last night’s highly publicized rematch of his March 2006 controversial no contest with Shelby Gross, Bobby “The Celtic Warrior” Gunn was poised to take his opponent out, leaving no question as to who the better fighter was. With a loud and energetic crowd behind him Gunn, now 20-3-1 (17 KO’s) silenced his critics by thoroughly dominating Gross. Gross was knocked down 3 times and referee Nico Perez stopped the fight following the third knockdown, awarding Gunn a 3rd round TKO. Gunn is satisfied with his title winning performance as well as the fact he got the redemption he desperately wanted for the last 2 ½ years.

I’m completely satisfied with my victory and glad I no longer have to think about the first fight”, said Gunn, the new WBC USNBC Cruiserweight champion. “ Shelby is as strong as a bull and a fighter I couldn’t underestimate. “I had great training camp, top sparring, and my hard work paid off in the end” said Gunn, who also holds IBC International Cruiserweight belt. Looking into the future, Gunn has his sights set on another world title. With his victory earning him a version of a WBC Cruiserweight crown, Gunn naturally has his eye on champion Giacobbe Fragomeni. Gunn feels Fragomeni is a great match up for him. “I would love to fight him”, Gunn said of Fragomeni. “Styles make fights and a bout between us would be interesting. We match up very even physically and I would have no issue with going to Italy to challenge for his title” said The Celtic Warrior. Fans can contact Bobby at Myspace.Com/TeamGunn
