Havoc Boxing Promotions exposes Hamir Gonzalez as boxing poacher for acting as Cruiserweight Santander Silgado's official agent

PRESS RELEASE
For Immediate Release

NEW YORK (June 3, 2014) -- Havoc Boxing Promotions has successfully exposed International matchmaker Hamir Gonzalez as a boxing poacher for misrepresenting himself as the official agent for Colombian cruiserweight Santander Silgado (25-2, 20 KOs).

"Anybody who wants to talk about having Santander Silgado fight on a show must deal with Havoc Boxing Promotions," Havoc Boxing Promotions president Rob Diaz explained.  "Otherwise, they can forget about Silgado fighting because we have an exclusive promotional contact with him.  Gonzalez was going around saying it has expired but that isn't true. Our contract with him is valid into 2016."

At substantial cost, Brooklyn-based Havoc Boxing Promotions developed Silgado from an unknown Columbian knockout artist into a world title contender.  In 2012, Silgado lost his first fight as a professional to World Boxing Association (WBA) cruiserweight champion Denis Lebedev in Russia.

Havoc Boxing Promotions successful thwarted Gonzalez' attempted to match Silgado in a June 6 main event fight against Danie Venter in South Africa. The promoter of this event, Real Steel Promotions, was unaware that Havoc Boxing Promotions had an exclusive promotional agreement with Silgado.

Havoc Boxing Promotions learned that Gonzalez misrepresented himself to Real Steel Promotions as Silgado's official agent. After receiving a cease and desist letter from Havoc Boxing Promotions, as well as a copy of the valid promotional contract it has with Silgado,  Real Steel Promotions complied and pulled Silgado from its June 6show.

Gonzalez, however, managed to lure an overweight and out-of-shape Silgado into a World Boxing Council (WBC) Silver championship match as a late replacement for an injured fighter this past weekend in Moscow against WBC No. 1 ranked Rakhim "The Machine" Chakhkiev (19-1, 14 KOs). 

Chakhkiev easily won a 12-round unanimous decision (118-110, 117-111, 117-110) and seriously derailed Silgado's career, costing him his WBC #10, WBA #13 and World Boxing Organization (WBO) #14 ratings.

"Gonzalez is a poacher," Diaz continued.  "He took my 25-1, world-rated fighter to Moscow and was the only person Silgado's corner. We're not alone.  He'claims to represent five fighters who have American-based promoters. We didn't know about this fight in time like the other one to kill it.  We've invested a lot in Silgado, got him into one world title fight, and had him ranked in the top 15 of three organizations.  He went 12 rounds, lost the fight and everything with it because all they cared about was a check.  Silgago was 15 pounds overweight. His belly was over his trunks and he was a heavyweight in a cruiserweight fight. How does he bring my fighter all alone to Russia?  He was the only one in his corner; he's a matchmaker not a trainer. No team, no cut-man, nobody else.

"I've lost a lot of respect for Silgado, too.  He did it for the money.  I thought he had higher standards than that, to be alone in Moscow with a matchmaker in his corner and nobody else.  He told the promoter we didn't promote him.  Silgado could have easily won this fight if he had been in fighting shape. He never should have taken this fight."

Although a relatively small promotional company, Havoc Boxing Promotions LLC is making it clear to Gonzalez and any others misrepresenting Silgado that it intends to fully protect itself and its fighters, up to and including the filing of lawsuits for Tortious Interference.

"This poacher has damaged my investment," Diaz concluded.  "I want everyone in boxing to know that Havoc Boxing will do everything to protect its interests and fighters.  We will not be pushed around by Gonzalez or anybody else and vow to protect ourselves at all costs."

Leon Margules (Warriors Boxing)
This is going to be a great show for a number of reasons. First of all, we've got Poland's only current world champion defending his title in a great fight. He and his challenger are here to lay it on the line. I've been working with Wlodarczyk for years and that's what he always does in every fight.

Plus, we've got the world's #1 light heavyweight Andrzej Fonfara in action.

Assuming Andrzej gets by Samuel Miller, I predict a big year next year for him. He will be world champion next year, doesn't matter who he ends up fighting for it. And he will make his HBO debut. I see all great things for Fonfara.

Krzysztof "Diablo" Wlodarczyk
I'm here to show the world and the fans in Chicago how good I am. I'm here to prove I'm the best, like I did in Moscow in my last fight. Thanks everyone for coming. This is a great city and I'll see you all on Friday night.

Giacobbe Fragomeni
I respect Krzysztof Wlodarczyk. He is a great champion. I am honored to fight in this great city and hope it will be an exciting fight for the fans.

Luis DeCubas (Warriors Boxing)
This is going to be a great night of fights. Both main events feature big punchers on both sides.

We've got Poland's only world champ, plus Andrzej Fonfara, Poland's next champ. He's in against a strong guy in Samuel Miller, who has fought a number of tough opponents.

Our main goal right now is trying to get Bernard Hopkins to come here to fight Fonfara. That's what we're working on.

Christian Cherchi (OPI 2000)
The first fight was a great one and I'm hoping it'll be just like that one on Friday. Very exciting for the fans especially.

I had a great camp and thanks to all who helped put the show here. "El Diablo" and Fonfara are both here on one show. Very exciting.

Andrzej Fonfara
I had a great training camp. I spent part of the time in Big Bear, California and part of the time here. I am ready for my fight with Miller. He is a good fighter and a strong puncher and a tough guy, but I'm going to win. I will be world champion one day.

Samuel Miller
I know what my job is. I am here to one thing and that is to take away Andrzej Fonfara's #1 ranking and take his place. That's the only thing I'm here to do.

Adrian Granados
As far as my fight against Carlos Winston Velasquez, he's a durable guy and another tough test for me, but I am sure I will get the W on Friday night.
