Said Pesoli, “Chicago
fight fans, particularly the Irish have really
taken a liking to Henry. He’s a tough
kid who loves to trade in the middle of the
ring. This is his first eight rounder and he’s
in against a solid veteran so it’s a true
test for Henry.”
The heavy handed Coyle, 6-1
with six knockouts, made his pro debut with
a first round knockout of Jason Collazo at Madison
Square Garden on March 16, 2007 at a huge New
York City St. Patrick’s Day Celebration
card headlined by Irish boxing star John Duddy.
In his last Chicago fight,
Coyle thrilled the packed Cicero Stadium with
a first round knockout of Guy Packer on November
16, 2007. Since then “THE WESTERN WARRIOR”
has been on the road knocking out two additional
opponents.
Aragon, 7-9-2 with five knockouts,
has already had a busy 2008 having fought three
times with a 1-1-1 (1KO) record. With vastly
more experience, the Billings, Montana resident
should prove to be a very tough test for Coyle.
