Featherweight prospect Albert “Chop Chop” Gonzalez (10-0, 6 KOs), the latest power-punching standout from the Robert Garcia Boxing Academy, has signed a long-term promotional contract with Top Rank. Gonzalez picked up his third win of 2024 last Saturday in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with a third-round TKO over Damian Alcala. His next ring outing will be announced shortly.
“Albert Gonzalez is a ferocious, aggressive puncher, someone I feel is going to be a real force at featherweight and beyond for years to come,” said Top Rank Chairman Bob Arum. “With Robert Garcia and his team guiding him inside the ring, combined with his natural talent, he has all the tools to become a champion.”
“Chop-Chop”? Hmmh…interesting nickname.
Congratulations to Gonzalez on being signed. This is where all the hard work and sacrifice start to pay off. I wish him and every fighter that is coming up now the best of luck and health. Time to put heads to bed.
Is he trained by DeMarcus “Chop Chop” Corley?
Fighters, stop stealing nicknames. Either get your own or don’t use one at all.
True dat. Tell him to change it to June Bug.
Late comment about the Leo fight:
People probably will not see this now as I am late. But is bothered me that people entered the ring to celebrate while the ref was still counting. If the commission or a ringside Dr. did it…no problem but not Leo’s people. I have seen DQs for such behavior. I would not want a DQ to ruin a great ending but some action should be taken (i.e. fines) for the people who did that. To me it is disrespectful to the ref. Until he waves it off the fight is not over!! Some may think it obviously was but a line has to be drawn. Until that fight is officially over …those people had no business entering the ring!
I would like to see someone other than Arum take at least some leadership role at Top Rank. TR could fall over when he goes.
Remember back in the day when it was only
Arum and Don King? Boxing done changed.
Demarcus chop chop!
That name chop chop was created at the 1995 Olympic Festival Colorado Springs Davarryl Williamson who was the class clown funny man of the bunch was making fun of Demarcus Corley who was hinting at wearing women’s underwear. Davarryl said “Chop Chop” & was pretending to clap his hands like a woman. We all laughed so hard . The greatest times any kid could ever spend in your whole life. Those kids from around this country were true inspiration to everyone young & old
