IBF Junior Featherweight Champion Jonathan “Salomon Rei” Guzman (22-0, 22 KOs) won’t be taking any time to rest on his newly acquired laurels.
The Dominican KO artist won his first world championship yesterday (Quarta-feira, Julho 20) by stopping former #1 contender Shingo Wake in 11 brutal rounds in Osaka, Japão. Guzman’s power was simply too much for Wake, who fell four times before the end came at2:16from merciful referee Wayne Hedgpeth.
The iron-fisted Dominican could easily spend the rest of the summer celebrating the victory, but has no intention to do so.
He is quickly flying home from Japan in order to be ringsideamanhã (Sexta-feira, Julho 22) no Foxwoods Resort, em Mashantucket, Connecticut, to watch San Antonio’s Adam Lopez face Argentina’s Roman Ruben Reynoso on ShoBox: A Nova Geração.
Guzman’s intention is to face the winner of that fight in his first title defense.
His promoter, Sampson Lewkowicz de Sampson Boxe, says Guzman’s victory has only created a new mission for the Dominican slugger.
“He wants to clean out the division now,” disse Lewkowicz. “We told him to enjoy the victory for himself and his country, but he wants to go right back to work. That is the determination and love for what he does that has made him an undefeated champion with a perfect knockout record. I congratulate him for his first world title and for his commitment to be a true world champion.”
