Fighter looks west for next fight

July 3, 2009

STRUTHERS — Jake Giuriceo admittedly got into a lot of fights when we attended Campbell Memorial High School. The 2003 Red Devils graduate turned what could’ve potentially been a troublesome future into a career. Giuriceo made his professional debut on the undercard of Kelly Pavlik’s middleweight title fight on Feb. 21 at the Chevrolet Centre in Youngstown knocking out Michael Suarez in the second round. He’s won two fights since, but for the 24-year-old, it’s already been a long road. “I was getting into fights in high school and friends suggested I tryout the K.O. tournaments,” Giuriceo said. He instantly fell in love with the sport. “I went undefeated in that, won it four years straight,” he said. “I thought I had some kind of potential in it, and thought I could make a career out of it, and now I am making a career out of it. It’s great.” Giuriceo fights anywhere from 140 to 146 pounds classifying him in the ranges of super lightweight to junior welterweight.
