Vanda on Bonsante: "We hate each other"

Press Release: Harley riding, tattoo covered Matt "The Predator" Vanda has been hunted by Minnesota middleweight champion Anthony "The Bullet" Bonsante, but that changes on January 12, 2007 at the Target Center in Minneapolis, when they headline  "Bad Blood" in the ten-round main event.  Vanda (35-2, 21 KOs), fighting out of St. Paul, goes head-to-head against The Contender Season One star Bonsante (28-3-3, 17 KOs), of Shakopee, for the state title. "Bad Blood" is presented by former Minnesota boxer Tony Grygelko's Seconds Out Promotions. "I'm going to out-box and probably KO him in the late rounds," Vanda said about his fight against Bonsante. "We hate each other and I'm sure a lot of people are going to be there watching our fight. I'm a way better boxer. He's a tough dude but I'm not going to stand and slug with him. Bonsante's nothing special. He's a bum - three jabs, a right hand and uppercut. And he drops his right hand. I'm 28 with 37 pro fights and 10-round experience. I think I'm reaching my prime; this is the best I've ever felt. I've had a lot of ups and down. I'm going to kick everybody's ass who is in my way in the middleweight division."
