By John McCormick DISCLOSURE: Julian Williams is trained by Boxingtalk contributor Stephen Edwards
JM: First off, I want to congratulate you on your win against Hector Rosario a few weeks ago. How did it feel to compete in the first eight rounder of your young career?
Julian Williams: It was great but to be honest, it wasn’t an easy victory. I know the scores were lopsided but I was fighting a pretty solid dude, who was 7-1, so it felt good to get the win in my first eight rounder.
JM: Being that it was your first eight round fight, did your preparation for the fight during training change at all compared to how you used to prepare for six rounders? Any drastic changes?
Julian Williams: No, I wouldn’t say we made any drastic changes at all. I mean, we have trained hard for every fight in my career so far. We did some interesting things in training so I was prepared and I am glad we got the win. But to be honest we treat every fighter like he is Godzilla, even if he's a turkey sandwich.

Goossen bringing country-club feel back to Valley
Dan Goossen promoted boxing at Reseda Country Club for more than a decade beginning in 1984. The cards were filled with future champions such as Michael Nunn and San Fernando Valley favorites Gabriel and Rafael Ruelas.
Goossen, as president of Goossen Tutor Promotions in Sherman Oaks, is going back to the future after announcing he will stage similar cards to those held at Reseda at Sportsmen's Lodge in Studio City.
Every other month Goossen will play host to an event featuring possible future champions. In the case of his debut card June 23, former world champion Rico Ramos (20-1, 11 KOs) of Los Angeles will take on Efrain Esquivias (16-0, 9 KOs) of Gardena in the super bantamweight main event.
It's the beginning of what Goossen hopes will be as well-received as those cards of yesteryear.
"I want to make this thing very, very successful as we did with the country club years ago," Goossen said with similar ambiance.
