Nutley, Nueva Jersey (Octubre 3, 2016)–Este pasado Viernes noche, newly signed GH3 Promotions fighter Stephon joven turned in a terrific performance as he won the WBA NABA Bantamweight title with a ten-round majority decision over Tony Lopez Jr.

La pelea, which was held at the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center, was televised live on CBS Sports Network.

Young controlled the final three-quarters of the bout as he used his speed and aggressiveness to win by scores 97-93, 96-94 y 95-95.

Joven, 28 years old of St. Louis, raised his undefeated mark to 15-0-3 con seis nocauts.

“Fue una gran pelea. I have to give credit to Tony Lopez . It was an exciting fight, but I think he must have thought something different of me as I don’t think that they knew what they were getting themselves into,” dijo Young.

“I was in tremendous shape. the fight was close in the first four rounds, and then I took over the bout.”

When asked what is next, Young knows that he will be ranked by the WBA and is looking for a world title opportunity.

“I am going to go back to the drawing board see what my manager (Henry Rivalta) and my promoter (Promociones GH3), and keep busy. I am going to the top. This is only just the beginning, and it will get any better.”

“I am not going to say he is next, but I want to fight (WBA Bantamweight champion) Rau’she Warren. He beat me in the 2012 Olympic trials and we have some unfinished business.”

“Stephon boxed a beautiful fight el viernes,” dijo Promociones GH3 Vito Milenicki. “Fue muy impresionante, and now he as the NABA title. Now between me and Henry Rivalta, we will move him the right way and get him the title shot he deserves.”
