CLICK TO ORDER THE FIGHT
NEW YORK / BETHELEHEM, PA (July 1, 2011)—TONIGHT!!! One of the top prospects in boxing will get his sternest test as undefeated Welterweight Ronald Cruz will put his perfect record on the line when he takes on knockout artist and upset specialist Doel Carrasquillo in a ten round main event of an eight bout card at the beautiful Sands Casino in Bethlehem.

Besides the obvious fight inside the ring, the two fighters live within an hour of each other so this fight is for local bragging rights and is promoted by Peltz Boxing.

The entire show can be seen live on www.gfl.tv for just $9.99 all over the world by clicking: http://www.gfl.tv/Events/Fight/Boxing/Ronald_Cruz_vs_Doel_Carrasquillo_/1086

The show begins at 7:30 pm eastern

Cruz, who has built his reputation mostly in Philadelphia and Atlantic City but now, gets to display his talents in his hometown as he has compiled an unblemished mark of 12-0 with nine wins coming via stoppage.

Among those wins was a (til this point) career defining six round beat down of highly touted prospect Jeremy Bryan on October 30, 2010 in a bout that was seen live all over the world on www.gfl.tv.

Cruz has stopped his last five opponents including his bout when he became the first man to stop twenty fight veteran Manuel Guzman in round three of their scheduled eight round bout.

Carrasquillo has a record of 15-17-1 with thirteen knockouts but that doesn’t tell the story as he has fought anybody and everybody.

The litany of fighters that he has fought is long and Carrasquillo has pulled off many upsets that has caught more than one eye of the boxing world.

Just ask the mega-prospect, Dennis Douglin.

On February 18th, Douglin took on Carrasquillo in what looked on paper to be an easy win for Douglin. One problem, Carrasquillo didn’t get the memo as he shocked the fighter known as the “Da Mama’s Boy” and scored the third round stoppage which shocked many boxing insiders.

Like Cruz, Douglin entered the ring with a 12-0 record.

Douglin isn’t the only one to feel the power of Carrasquillo as he has scored upsets over Kenny Abril (5-2-1); Isam Khalik (13-0-2); Tony Caldwell (9-2-3); Darren Fallen (10-3-1); Aaron Torres (14-5); Wayland Willingham (13-0) and Jorge Melendez (13-1).

“When you look at the records it looks like a typical cross roads fight”, said Marc Abrams, who will be calling the action ringside on www.gfl.tv

“The only problem with calling this a cross roads fight is that Carrasquillo is still driving on the same side of the street with these major prospects. Besides all those upsets, even his losses have been to the top guys and he has given those guys hell. We did the fight with (former world title challenger) Mike Arnaoutis and he beat him to the point where Mike’s face looked he had been in a war. All I need to say is this, this is the most dangerous fight of Cruz’ career. If he gets by this test, he will be sneaking up with the likes as Mike Jones as promoter Russell Peltz next big star”

A full seven bout undercard will be shown as undefeated Middleweight Rashad Brown looks to make it 5-0 when he takes on rugged Omar Sims in Brown’s first six round bout.

The action begins at 7:30 pm

First-time shaving tipsfor teens see here how to shave

St. Joseph News-Press August 3, 2003 | SANDRA L. WALSH St. Joseph News-Press Despite the fact that man has been shaving for centuries, parents and teens still fight over when’s a good time to start.

But this right of passage can’t be stopped – when you’re gonna shave, you’re gonna shave – no matter what mom and dad say.

So, before you separate the skin from your bone, here are a few tips to keep you from a lifetime of nicks and cuts.

“When you’re shaving for the first time, make sure you use shaving cream and a good, sharp razor,” says Lori Hudson, owner of Bodacious Full Service Salon on King Hill Avenue. “Definitely moisturize because it will help to minimize pore and skin irritation.” Also, make sure to moisten skin and shave in the direction of hair growth. For a closer shave, shave carefully and slowly against the grain of hair growth.

Guys should wash their face with soap and warm water to remove oils from the hair and skin. After shaving, make sure to use an aftershave product to soothe sensitive areas. If you have sensitive skin, make sure to look for products without alcohol.

Ms. Hudson doesn’t recommend children under 14 shave, but her daughter, 14-year-old Casey Kates, managed to sneak off into the bathroom and smooth her legs for the first time when she was just 11 years old. this web site how to shave

“I didn’t like the hair,” Casey says. “When I first started shaving, I used Nair, but now I use a razor and shaving cream because Nair only works when you first start shaving.” Casey says that it really isn’t unusual for fifth- and sixth- graders to start shaving. In fact, many of her peers started shaving around the same time.

Hans Plackemeier, a 17-year-old from Maryville (Mo.) High School, started shaving when he was 14.

“I started shaving because I had a crustache,” he says. “The gross looking hairs that aren’t stubbly and sleek – the ladies don’t like them.” Hans’ dad taught him how to shave using shaving cream and a razor.

Hans’ friend Josh Wilmes, a 17-year-old from Maryville High School, also started shaving when he was 14. Now he shaves about every two weeks. He doesn’t use shaving cream, but he does use aftershave because he says it feels refreshing after a close shave.

“Shaving is a fun experience, something you should look forward to,” he says. “The secret is to go slow and steady.” SANDRA L. WALSH
