Fort and Peterson to Collide on GFL CARLTON, MINNESOTA – Two of the most talked about prospects the State of Minnesota has to offer will square off against one another with more than just local bragging rights on the line as Cerreso Fort meets Dave Peterson this Saturday night at the Black Bear Casino Resort. GFL.tv has secured the rights to the broadcast, which will be shown via internet pay-per-view on a delayed basis. Fort (12-0-1, 10 KOs) of Saint Paul, Minnesota has been one of the most regarded young fighters in the area since he turned pro back in June 2008. In his last outing, Fort rebounded from his lone blemish (a split decision draw) with a second-round stoppage of Cheyenne Ziegler this past February in Saint Paul. Peterson (13-0, 8 KOs) of Mounds View, Minnesota is a 6’1” southpaw known as the “The Prodigy.” Outside of two wins at the famed Legendary Blue Horizon in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Peterson has remained a local treasure as he has defended his home turf on numerous occasions. Now with the world watching, Peterson looks to make a statement against the equally undefeated Fort in Saturday’s eight-round main event for the Minnesota State Light Middleweight title. In the six-round special feature, cruiserweight sensation Al Sands (3-1, 3 KOs) of Duluth, Minnesota takes on the well traveled Voshon Daniels (6-6, 4 KOs) of Louisville, Kentucky. In a six-round rematch that promises action, Hector Orozco (5-11, 5 KOs) of Hopkins, Minnesota takes on undefeated Jamal James (5-0, 4 KOs) of Minneapolis, Minnesota for the second time, this time the vacant Minnesota State Welterweight title on the line. In their last encounter this past May, James eked out a six-round nod. In another six-round special attraction, light middleweight Michael Faulk (2-1) of Saint Paul aims defend his home turf against fellow former national level amateur standout Richard Hargraves (2-0-1, 2 KOs) of San Francisco, California. Both fighters are ending long layoffs and plan on getting back in the game with a victory. In a four-round bout between debuting light heavyweights, Jerome LaBarge takes on Matthew Karaja of Bark River, Michigan. Cory Thompson of Duluth begins his professional journey against Stanley Lewis (0-5) of Milwaukee, Wisconsin in a four- round super middleweight bout.
