Heavyweight prospect on the rise!
Tony Grano on this week's ESPN2 Friday Night Fights!
Heavyweight prospect Tony Grano, the 2005 United States amateur heavyweight champion, returns to the ring Friday night at Foxwoods Resort & Casino in Connecticut. The power-punching Grano (7-0-1, 6 KO) will risk his undefeated record when he takes on journeyman John Turlington in a six-round undercard attraction. The bout will be Grano's second in a one-month span, having earned a unanimous decision victory over Tyrone Smith on February 23rd at Mohegan Sun. In Turlington (5-10-1, 4 KO), Grano will face his most experienced opponent to date, and one with a rather deceptive record. In the ten fights in which Turlington has been defeated, the combined record of his opponents was an impressive 97 wins, 6 losses, and 3 draws, which includes a decision loss to current super-middleweight contender Allen Green. Bill Grano, Tony's father and manager, has already warned his son not to take Turlington lightly. "I told Tony that he can't underestimate Turlington based on his record, rather he has to take a look at who he's been up against. Turlington has fought some tough opposition in his career, and Tony is very much aware of that, and he'll be ready."
ESPN2's Friday Night Fights will broadcast the Star Boxing event featuring welterweight prospects Delvin Rodriguez and Jesse Feliciano battling for the USBA title in the main event plus fan favorite Said Ouali agaisnt Irving Garcia in the co-feature. The Grano - Turlington bout could receive air time if there is an early stoppage in either of the headliners. The Grano camp has also mentioned that if all goes well Friday, Tony is slated to be right back in action at Mohegan Sun on May 4th, with those fights to be televised on the New England Sports Network.
