NEW YORK, September 29 - There's an old axiom in boxing that goes, never look past your next opponent.
Rising and undefeated super middleweight prospect Donovan "Da Bomb" George (9-0-1, 7 KO's) will face Johny Hayes (5-3-1, 3 KO's) tomorrow at Madison Square Garden. Facing an opponent at such a high profile venue carries its pressures, no doubt. Yet, he's got Macho on his mind. Make that "Macho" Miguel Hernandez, of Chicago.
For the unitiated, Hernandez (29-5, 9 KO's) is a popular middleweight hailing from Chicago. Some consider Chicago his town. The problem is, George, who also hails from Chicago, has claiming the Windy City as his very own weighing heavily on his heart. So, he's calling out Miguel.
You can read more about George and his thoughts in an upcoming interview, which will be posted shortly.
Donovan George will fight Hayes on the undercard of John Duddy versus Yory Boy Campas, who will battle for the IBA Middleweight Title in the main event.
