My boyz are all grown up:) You may remember them from the now infamous 'pool party' video, that got deleted for being not fit for public consumption, but they fought their first pro debut fights and BOTH finished their fights in the first rounds...
Meet Myles Gilbert...

... when he gets done fighting, he should become a politician.
And my best friend's little brother, Fred Moncaio. (The guy that got me a home, when my dog and I had no where to go.)

...you just got to love the guy. A humble beast.
You'll see these guys in the UFC someday. Couldn't be happier for they came out of the gate like this. Monsters.
I'll be staying out of that ring!
Sorry to bring up a bad memory, but wasn't this the same circle of friends that also had to deal with the shooting tragedy?
It's hard to use the words 'friends' anymore, in reference to the murderer. We all trained together. Vagner Rocha, who was the main event that night (who also knocked out his opponent in the first round in his title defense) was the victim's best friend. It actually happened at his house. The case has yet to go to trial.
...But yeah, everyone looked good that night and just overwhelmed their opponents. Myles is an ex-felon, has a 'thugged out' tat across the stomach, 4 gold replacement teeth across the front, yadda yadda, but the guy is super high quality human material, nonetheless. Fred is a teddy bear. My little brother, of sorts. I don't know if you guys ever have been around fights, but I get downright nervous for them. I know we watch as entertainment, but when it's your guys in there, all I want to do is help them.
Ah, they just uploaded Fred's interview and highlights...

And Vagner's (nice punch but I guess the finish was by triangle.)

...the word is Fred got his next fight already, Nov 1:)
