PARA DIVULGAÇÃO IMEDIATA
CORONA, Califa. (Novembro. 7, 2016) – Terraço “The Real Deal Shelestyuk, Xolisani Ndongeni,e Ruben Villa all remained undefeated this past Sexta-feira night at the Omega Events Center in Corona, Califórnia.
Shelestyuk (15-0, 9 KOs), o 2012 Jogos Olímpicos medalha de bronze para a Ucrânia, foi vitorioso pelas dezenas de 96-93 duas vezes e 95-94. Apesar de uma gutsy, desempenho corajoso, Herrera (15-4-1, 8 KOs), de Chicago, IL., had a 3-fight winning streak end. Não houve knockdowns.
 southpaw Shelestyuk, que entrou no ringue classificado n º. 9 na WBO e Não. 13 no WBA, turned back a determined bid by Herrera to win, despite getting docked a point for excessive holding in the fifth round.
“Foi uma luta dura,” stated Shelestyuk. “He is a tough fighter; he is slow, but he worked well. Na primeira rodada, Eu fiz bem, mas minhas pernas ficaram em mim. Acho que foi porque eu não dormir bem.
“After five rounds, I started to find my rhythm. Eu comecei a lutar boxe dele. Cometi alguns erros lá como puxar costas retas. Esta luta vai me fazer melhor. Como eu disse, ele era duro, mas nada de especial. Quando minhas pernas passou, Comecei a trabalhar dentro. Eu vencê-lo bem na última rodada e se houvesse 30 segundos mais, Eu poderia tê-lo impedido.
“I am looking forward to being more active in 2017. I will take two or three weeks off and be right back in the gym.”
“A Verdade” hurts, and Herrera had more than his fair share of moments in a tight fight. Herrera, a professional since December 2009, figured to be a legitimate test for Shelestyuk, e ele era. Mas Taras foi mais ativo, (aterrissagem 169 de 689 socos, em comparação com Herrera de 130 de 460). Each fighter connected 28 por cento do tempo.
Herrera, who had defeated undefeated prospects in four of his previous nine fights, não estava feliz com o veredicto. “Foi uma boa luta. Não há muito que eu posso dizer. Eu pensei que era mais perto do que a pontuação indicada. I had fun in there, and I give him credit. Ele foi tudo o que eu esperava. He is a smart fighter.”
“I would love to be a test dummy for all these young prospects. Eu pensei que poderia ter sido um empate, but the people who saw it on TV can have their opinion.”
Shelestyuk is co-promoted by Banner Promotions and Thompson Boxing.
Opening up the ShoBox broadcast, Vitor Jones Freitas was stopped in the first round by Manuel Mendez. The fight was stopped after Mendez landed a thudding body shot that sent the previously undefeated Brazilian down for the ten count, breaking his rib.
In non-television action, Ndongeni showed why he is considered championship worthy, as he pounded out a ten-round unanimous decision over rugged Juan Garcia Mendez.
Ndongeni controlled the action as he mixed up his punches. He countered beautifully and worked up and down by mixing up his shots to the head and body of Mendez. Ndongeni, 26 anos, is ranked number-3 by the WBA, and he showed the class of a world championship contender in his American debut.
Ndongeni, nicknamed “Nomeva”, which means The Wasp, stung Mendez throughout the contest, and he showed that not only is he a serious title contender, but he has a fan-friendly style.
Ndongeni is co-promoted by Banner Promotions and Golden Gloves Promotions.
vila, of Salinas, Califórnia, was taken the distance for the first time, as he won a 4-round unanimous decision over previously undefeated Aaron Lopez.
vila, who previously scored two consecutive first round knockouts, won every round by showing off his boxing skills in the battle of undefeated fighters.  O 19 year-old Villa pushed the pace throughout the fight and had Lopez in trouble several times. Villa has been very active, as this was his 3rd win since turning professional on 29 de julho.
“I am very proud of Taras, Xolisani, and Ruben,” said Banner Promotions President Artie Pelullo.
“These are three guys at different stages, but I believe that all three have the talent to become world champions. Taras is closing in on a significant fight, for which a win will lead him to a title. This was our first look at Xolisani, and he was the fighter that was advertised. He has a lot of skills and is a versatile. My partner Rodney Berman and Iwill now look at the many options that we will have with him. I do expect him to fight for a world title sometime in the next year. Ruben had a tremendous learning experience. He fought a guy who was undefeated and very durable. He actually showed us more in this fight than he did in his two first round knockouts. In this fight he won all four round on every judges scorecards (40-36 em todas as placas). I was very impressed with the different punch selections and the way he set everything up in there. As I have said before, he is a star in the making. As for Vitor, he had the right attitude following the fight. He is not going to let this deter him. He just got caught with the wrong punch at the wrong time. He was winning the round easily before that happened. He will obviously take some time off, and then we will look to bring him back next year.”
