Middleweight contender George “Comanche Boy” Tahdooahnippah returns home to the Comanche Nation Casino tonight to face off against Tuscaloosa, Alabama native Gundrick “Sho Gun” King for the NABA Middleweight Title.
Speaking about the fight, Tahdooahnippah stated, “This is a very big fight for me, my first for Star Boxing and I’m very happy that it will be broadcast LIVE on GO FIGHTLIVE so that Native Americans and fight fans across the country can see me fight.”
“King is an ex-college football player, very strong and a southpaw. He’s obviously looking to make his name off my undefeated record, but I’ve prepared very well. We’ve had a great camp and excellent southpaw sparring.”
Tahdooahnippah is undefeated with a sterling record of 30-0-1 with 22 knockouts while King brings a record of 18-8-0 (11KO’s) in the title bout.
Speaking further about fighting back home at the Comanche Nation Casino, Tahdooahnippah stated, “This weekend is the Comanche Nation Fair and there will be a massive crowd attending the fair and I very much look forward to their support.”
About his future plans, “I need to look good here and dominate, I trust Star Boxing to take me to the next level and this fight is the first step. Ideally, I’d like to fight a top ten middleweight in my next bout.”
Tahdooahnippah won the first two bouts of his 2012 campaign; most recently dominating Rahman Yusubov over six rounds on APRIL 26 in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Riding a two bout-winning streak, Gundrick enters the title bout against Tahdooahnippah with a record of 18-8-0 (11KO’s). In his last outing Gundrick won a unanimous decision over Mikel Williams on AUGUST 4 in Mobile, Alabama.
