Godfrey wants cruiserweight title fight!

Press Release: With one short, powerful right hand, cruiserweight Matt “Too Smooth” Godfrey (12-0, 7 KOs) stopped previously unbeaten Shauna George (11-0-2, 5 KOs) in the first round of their recent unification bout on ESPN2 Wednesday Night Fights at Foxwoods Resort Casino.  “I beat a very polished boxer a lot of guys wouldn’t fight because he’s so slick,” Godfrey said about George. “It was exciting knocking him out in the first round. It let everybody know I’m for real. Right now, I’m just looking at guys ranked ahead of me with very good records -- only one or two losses -- who maybe have a belt around his waist. I’m collecting those. I figure within 18 months, I’ll have 17-18 fights, and be fighting for a world title.” “Matt only needs about four or five more fights to be in position for a major world title fight,” manager Bret Hallenbeck added. “At this point he’s ready to fight for any available titles. Any critics he may have had are silenced after the George fight. He’s ready for just about anybody in the top 15.”
