This Saturday night at the ABC Sports Complex in Springfield, Virginia, rising Featherweight Tevin “The American Idol” Farmer will look for his 10th consecutive victory when he takes on Dominick Coca (8-9, 2 KO’s) from Watts, California in an 8-round bout.

Farmer took the fight to Gonzalez from the opening bell and never let up as he outworked and out landed him throughout the bout.
Farmer worked the body extremely well, hit Gonzalez from several angles and moved well around the ring as he kept Gonzalez from using his power and from getting into any kind of rhythm. Gonzalez landed more often in the second half of the matchup and connected on several powerful combinations; however, Framer still beat him to the punch and landed the more effective shots.
