LAS VEGAS (Sewe. 8, 2017) – At 20 jaar, 9 months old, David Benavidez became boxing’s youngest world champion – and the youngest ever in the super middleweight division – with a split decision victory over Ronald Gavril Vrydag night on an exciting night of 168-pound action on SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION van die gesamentlike by Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. See the video of the decision via Twitter link HIER.

 

Benavidez (19-0, 17 Uitklophoue) placed the previously vacated WBC Super Middleweight belt around his waist after winning the title against former European amateur standout Gavril (18-2, 14 Uitklophoue) in what Benavidez later described as quite possibly the “Fight of the Year.” One scorecard had Gavril winning 116-111, with Benavidez winning on the other two scorecards, 116-111 en 117-111 in the event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

 

“It feels amazing to win this title,” said the Phoenix resident Benavidez. “It’s everything I’ve dreamed about since I was a little kid. It’s everything I’ve dedicated myself to and I’ve worked hard for. It finally paid off.”

 

The 31-year-old Romanian Gavril, who trains at Mayweather’s Gym in Las Vegas by Eddie Mustafa Muhammad, sent Benavidez to the canvas with a left hook with just 50 seconds left in the wild 12ste en finale ronde.

 

“I feel I won the fight. Ek oorheers die tempo. I can’t say anything else other than it was up to the judges,” Gavril said, who was watched by his promoter all-time great Floyd Mayweather from ringside. “The only thing I can do is to ask for a rematch.”

 

Benavidez, who turned pro at age 16 and only had 15 amateur gevegte, took control of the fight early on, but Gavril seemed to gain steam mid-fight, out-boxing and being more active than Benavidez in the seventh, agtste en negende rondes. In rounds 11 en 12, Benavidez out-landed Gavril 66-35 overall and 53-14 with power punches.

 

“I felt my performance was good except for the last round when I got too anxious and wanted to knock him out,” Benavidez said. “I let my young side takeover and I wanted to give the fans a great fight. I didn’t really feel hurt but it was a shock knockdown. I know to be careful and more cautious. It was a learning experience.”

 

 

 

In another super middleweight contest, Abie Han suffered a devastating accidental head-butt againstJ'Leon Love by 1:02 into the eighth round and the fight went to the scorecards. One judge had Las Vegas’ Love winning 79-73, and the other two 76-76 making the decision a technical majority draw.

 

Following an exchange of punches, Love (23-1-1, 13 Uitklophoue) leaned in and the two fighter banged heads in violent fashion. Het (26-3-1, 16 Uitklophoue) van El Paso, Texas, was left stunned and fell to the floor as blood gushed from his forehead above his left eye and he was immediately checked on by referee Kenny Bayless.

 

Het, who left the arena sitting up on a stretcher before hearing the decision, won the statistical battle in the ring. Han landed more blows (78-47 algehele, 20-12 jabs, 58-35 krag) and did so more accurately (24 percent to 17 percent overall, 16 percent to eight percent jabs and 30 percent to 27 percent power).

 

SHOWTIME boxing analyst Al Bernstein had Han winning by one point at the time of the stoppage.

 

“I can’t rate my performance as great because I didn’t get a victory, I got a draw,” said Love, who once trained at the famed Kronk Gym in Detroit under Hall of Fame trainer Emanuel Steward.

 

The 29-year-old Love ended nearly a one-year layoff with his return to the ring. “I’m kind of rusty but I feel like I pressed the action and tried to take it to him,"Het hy gesê. “Other than that I feel like I landed the cleaner shots.”

 

In die opening bout van die beeldsending, unbeaten super middleweight prospect Kaleb Plant (16-0, 10 Uitklophoue) recorded a 10-round shutout decision against a tough Andrew Hernandez (19-7-1, 9 Uitklophoue), 100-90 drie keer.

 

Plant, who resides in Las Vegas by way of Ashland City, Tenn., was the more active fighter against the 31-year-old switch-hitting journeyman Hernandez, who took the fight on just eight days’ notice after Alan Campa dropped out. Plant jabbed effectively (81 van 271, 30 persent) while neutralizing Hernandez’s usually effective jab (46 van 325, 14 persent). Plant was also sharp with his power shots landing 44 percent to Hernandez’s 19 persent.

 

“I’m very pleased with my performance,” Plant said. “I boxed well and I dictated the pace. I pressed when I needed to press and boxed when I needed to box. I felt I put on a great show for the fans. I want to be star in boxing. I know with hard work I can accomplish anything.

 

“Hernandez is tough, I sent him with everything and he stood tall and my hats off to him. He’s a tough competitor.”

 

Hernandez, from Phoenix, Ariz., suffered a cut under his left eye in the third and it caused him problems throughout the fight, opening up and bleeding over the final two rounds.

 

“All respect to Caleb Plant on his performance tonight,” Hernandez said. “He put on a solid fight and he’s got a great future. I was happy I was able to stay in there and last the entire 10 rondes.

 

“I felt Caleb won, but I don’t think it was 10 rounds to none. But that’s not for me to decide. It’s all up to the judges at the end of the day it only matters what they think.”

 

Plant added: “I’m ready to step up in competition and fight anybody in the top 10 of the super middleweight division. I got my eye on Benavidez and all the other world champions. Ek kom!"

 

Vrydag se tripleheader will replay on Sunday, Sewe. 10, by 9 voormiddag. EN/PT, en Maandag, Sewe. 11, by 10 namiddag. EN/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME on DEMAND® en Showtime enige tyd®.

 

Barry Tompkins called the action from ringside with Bernstein and former world champion Raul Marquez serving as expert analysts. The executive producer was Gordon Hall with Richard Gaughan producing and Rick Phillips directing.

On his matchup with late opponent Andrew Hernandez…
“Om eerlik te wees, it doesn’t matter who they put in front of me, I’ll fight anyone. I was originally supposed to fight Alan Campa, but he pulled out, like most of my opponents. Hernandez recently fought so I know he’s in good shape. I’m happy that he stepped up, but I’m going to put tips on him. There’s no two ways about it, I’m coming out on top.”
On his recent training camp…
“Training camp has been unbelievable. It’s no doubt, one of my best training camps ever. My weight is perfect and I couldn’t be happier with the way I’ve been looking in the gym. My trainer Justin Gamber is doing a phenomenal job, as well as my dad Richie. Larry Wade, my strength and conditioning coach, has got me in tip top shape. We are going to dictate our game plan on Hernandez, and try to get him out of there before the final bell. If it goes the distance, Ek sal gereed wees.”
On making his Showtime debut…
“I’m very excited to be making my debut on Showtime. This is the first of many as I believe I can become a household name on their network. Showtime is looking for their next star and I believe it’s me. I’m going to put on a spectacular performance. Everyone watching can expect to see a very skilled and determined fighter when they see me fight Vrydagnag.”
On fighting in his new hometown of Las Vegas…
“This will be my third time fighting in Las Vegas, the mecca of boxing, and I want to stamp my legacy here. Since moving here from Nashville about a year ago, I’ve been getting some great work with some top-level fighters. Nashville will always be home, but Vegas is where I’m at right now. I have a lot of new fans out here and I can’t wait to put on a great show for them.”
On what a victory will do for his career…
“'N Oorwinning Vrydag will get me one step closer to a world title shot. I’m currently ranked WBA #7 en #11 deur die IBF. I’m right there knocking on the door. David Benavidez is fighting for the WBC title in the main event, and he’s definitely someone I want to fight. J'Leon Love, who’s world ranked, is also on the card. Both are on my radar. I’m want all the champions in my division. I’m going to be a world champion when I get my opportunity.”

The following is a training camp update from each of the fighters on hierdie Vrydag tripleheader.

 

David “El Bandera Roja” Benavidez

  • He trains out of The Summit Gym in Big Bear, Kalifornië.
  • His trainer is his father, Jose Benavidez Sr.
  • With a victory, Benavidez (ouderdom 20) would become the youngest Super Middleweight to ever win a world title and the youngest current world champion.
  • He’s very familiar with the gym because his brother Jose Benavidez Jr. (former WBA interim super lightweight champion) used to train there when he was active.

 

Benavidez on training camp:

“My training camps are always fairly long. I only take a week off after every fight and go back into training. For the first couple weeks, it’s just moving around, then we slowly work into the hard training. For this one, I probably had like a month and a half, two months.”

 

Op sy opponent:

“I feel like he [Ronald Gavril] has a really good style for me to showcase my skills, like how I did against Rogelio Medina. With our sparring partners, we have brawlers and we have boxers, sowel. Whatever style he fights on that night, I’m going to be prepared for it.”

 

Ronald “The Thrill” Gavril

  • He trains at the Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas.
  • He is a former European amateur standout.
  • His trainer is Eddie Mustafa Muhammad (65 jaar oud; former WBA light heavyweight world champion, afgetree in 1988 met 'n rekord van 50-8-1, 39 Uitklophoue).

Gavril on training camp:

“I feel really sharp and I’m really happy with how everything has gone during training. This is the opportunity that I’ve worked so hard to get to and I’m definitely not letting it slip by. I know that everything needs to be 100 percent on fight night so I’m pushing myself to be ready to do whatever it takes to leave with the belt.”

 

Op sy opponent:

“Benavidez is a strong guy who’s coming in with a lot of support behind him, but I’m not going to let any of that distract me from my preparation. Me and my trainer are going to have a great game plan for him. I know he wants to be active and smother me and we’re going to show him all of the parts of my game.”

Eddie Mustafa Muhammad:

“I got Ronald sparring with the IBF’s number-one super middleweight contender, Jose Uzcategui. He’s giving us good work, too—he can fight. We also sparred Badou Jack for a couple rounds. We’ve got an abundance of guys that we’re working with.

 

“The way they’re talking about Benavidez, it’s like he’s King Kong. But it’s good—perfect! Ronald is a boxer-puncher, he can adapt. That’s the whole key. He has a wealth of amateur experience. This is our opportunity. We’ve talked about this for a while now, and Ronald is at a point where he’s ready right now…It’s going to be a great fight.”

 

J'Leon Love

  • He trains at the Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas.
  • His trainer is Theo Chambers.
  • He’s been in training camp for about five months

 

Love on training camp:

“My training camp—it’s been months! I started training in April. Being that we had fights fall out, I always stayed in the gym. That’s the hardest part, because I feel like I’ve had bad luck with fights falling out. But one thing I can say—we train our ass off! I just want to go on vacation after this.”

 

“We’ve had a lot of good sparring—Lionell Thompson and Denis Douglin have been in here working. We’ve had so many sparring partners throughout this camp, and we’ve just been working, working, working.

 

Op sy opponent:

“I remember Abie Han from the amateurs. He’s always been a tough fighter. You can’t look past anybody. Everybody comes in that ring to fight. Everybody comes in with a different mode or a different drive, so this may be the drive he has to really come out and explode on the scene and beat me. So, I’m taking him absolutely, positively serious, like he’s a world championship fighter and we’re fighting for the world title.”

 

Abraham “The Sun City Warrior” Han

  • Trains out of his father’s martial arts studio in El Paso, Texas (Han’s Martial Arts).
  • He is trained by Louie Burke — 56 jaar oud; former pro junior lightweight, afgetree in 1985 met 'n rekord van 19-3, 12 Uitklophoue; won the “ESPN Junior Lightweight Title” on Apr. 14, 1983, with a 12-round unanimous decision against Freddie Roach; also won a 10-round decision against Roach in the rematch on Nov. 10, 1983.
  • He has sparred with former world champion Austin Trout.

 

Han on training camp:

“I train at my dad’s martial arts studio in El Paso – Han’s Martial Arts. I’m sparring mostly with local people from El Paso, and I also sparred with Austin Trout.

 

“I’ve been working hard and working with Austin (Forel) and that makes a big difference. Austin makes me so much better. He’s been a world champion and he will be a world champion again. His expertise and his knowledge is amazing. He’s been in those situations and he tells me little things along the way and I think that will make all the difference in this fight.”

 

Caleb “Sweet Hands” Plant

  • Moved to Las Vegas from Nashville about a year ago to train
  • He is trained by Justin Gamber and his father Richie Plant.

 

Plant on training camp:

“I’ve been living in Las Vegas for more than a year now – since August 24th, 2016. I’ve been in the gym consistently this whole time since my last fight, but my ‘official’ training camp will be seven or eight weeks. We bounce around to a couple of different gyms for sparring. I’ve had good work this camp – great sparring, good strength and conditioning, good gym work, and I’ve had good rest. I have a good diet.

 

“I know every boxer says, ‘Oh, this is my best camp,’ and a lot of times they don’t mean it. But this has literally been my best camp. Things are very smooth.”

 

Andrew Hernandez

  • He is managed by his wife Jacquie Hernandez and trained by Alan Beirs.
  • Alfred Quintana serves as his cut man and strength and conditioning coach.
  • A late replacement, Hernandez got the call on Aug. 29 and accepted the fight; contract signed the next day.
  • Trains at Gents Gym in Arrowhead, Ariz.

 

What Hernandez has to say:

“I’ve known my trainer, Alan Beirs, for a while. He actually helped me with my last couple of fights – we’ve only been together maybe six months or so. He worked my corner in February, but we weren’t working completely together. Then when I got back in the gym in March, that’s when we really started working together.

 

“I train at a place called Gents Gym in Arrowhead, Ariz. I trained there with the Busted Knuckles Boxing crew – that’s Alan Beirs’ crew. We’re all pushing each other to get better and I know they’ll have me ready for fight night.”

Benavidez (18-0, 17 Uitklophoue) has a chance to make history – at just 20-years-old he is aiming to become the youngest super middleweight champion in history and the youngest reigning world champion in the sport today. Gavril (18-1, 14 Uitklophoue) will seek to keep the WBC 168-pound title in the Mayweather Promotions family after it was vacated by his stablemate, Badou Jack.
“This opportunity means the world to me,” said Benavidez. “I’ve been working for his since I was a little kid. It’s all come down to this moment when I’m ready to take this belt and take over the 168-pound division. The time is almost here, and I can hardly wait for September 8. Winning the championship would be enough on its own. But the opportunity to be the youngest in the sport is a major accomplishment and the biggest of my life, so far. I have a tough competitor in front of me, and I know he’s treating it as seriously as I am. I’ve been working for two and a half months for this fight and I’m not overlooking him.”
“It’s been a great journey for me getting to this point of fighting for a world title,” Said Gavril. “I have a great team behind me who pushes me every single day to perform my best, learn from my mistakes and perfect my technique. Those values have gotten me here and I am thankful for such an amazing opportunity. I will go out there and give it everything I have, I can’t leave the ring without the championship belt.”

“In November 2015, I said that I had new blood for our industry David Benavidez, who would be the best and youngest super middleweight champion in the history of our sport,” Said Sampson Lewkowicz, Benavidez’ promotor. “We didn’t cherry pick this opponent. He was the next available contender when Anthony Dirrell pulled out. We expect fireworks. We expect to birth a new superstar. The most important thing is to determine in which round Gavril will be knocked out, because I believe that we’re talking about matching a jet plane against a helicopter. So I expect a spectacular performance from Benavidez, who will begin his run as the new blood in boxing and will keep it going until he retires.”
“To be in a position to announce another great card coming just weeks after the biggest event in sports history shows that Mayweather Promotions shows no signs of slowing down,” Said Leonard Ellerbe, Uitvoerende hoof van Mayweather Promotions. “We are thrilled to present this fight card on September 9, filled with tremendous talent featuring top contenders in the Mayweather Promotions stable. Gavril has proven to be a tough competitor, he’s on a long win streak with his last four coming by way of TKO, Love making his return to the stage is sure to excite fans, and the always exciting Caleb Plant will definitely put on show. This is what boxing is about, bringing together some of the most exciting talents on one stage.”

The younger brother of undefeated Jose Benavidez, David picked up four victories via stoppage in 2015 and continued with four more in 2016 including blasting out previously unbeaten Francy Ntetu in June and tough contender Denis Douglin in August.

Hier is wat die vegters te sê gehad het voor Donderdag se inweeg:

 

GALARZA:

“We had some great sparring with guys like Daniel Jacobs, Sadam Ali, Khytrov. They always give me top tough work. That’s top competition right there. Fighting guys like that builds my confidence. If I can hang in there with them then I can hang with anyone. They’re going to help to bring me to another level. I feed off their energy.

 

“Moore is an aggressive fighter, but I’m a come-forward guy, te. Ek kan aggressief, but smart aggressive. Not just aggressive to punch and throw punches wildly. It’s more being smart, using my defense, my offense and countering when he makes mistakes.

 

“I try not to think about fighting in the main event in Brooklyn, but it helps and it definitely motivates me. Ek bedoel, it doesn’t get any better than that – fighting in my home in the main event.

 

“It’s my backyard, so I have to put on a show. It doesn’t give me jitters because I’ve fought in my home before, but the main event is different. I just need to do my job.

 

"Vir my is, it’s will and skill. I bring my skill level to the next level. How bad do I want it? Am I going to perform well enough to move to the next level and face those top contenders?

 

“I want to face the top prospects so I can earn a spot as a contender. But I need to get through this guy first.”

 

MOORE:

“The main reason why I came all the way to the United States is because here is where boxing is at its best. I’m really excited about this opportunity. Being on SHOWTIME as a main event is huge for me.

 

“It’s not going to be easy, I’m fighting a guy from Brooklyn in Brooklyn in his back yard. But I’ve been in this situation before, I’ve fought abroad many times before and I’m not intimidated. It’s another day at the office for me.

 

“This is it for me, there’s no turning back. Ek het om te wen. I just don’t see myself losing tomorrow.

 

“I’ve seen a couple Galarza videos on YouTube. He was more of a brawler at the beginning of his career. Nou, he’s a more disciplined boxer. That can backfire sometimes, something to watch out.

 

“You’ll see fireworks and excitement. I’m not going to look for the knockout. I think it’s a bad strategy to do that. If it comes, dit kom. I’ll be looking to win, maak nie saak wat nie. This is a very big fight for me, so it’ll be all about winning, impressing and being at my best.”

 

KHYTROV

“The atmosphere training in Big Bear was amazing. It was one of the best training camps I’ve had. I’ve never been through a camp in the amateurs like that.

 

“I had a chance to meet Gennadi (Golovkin) in Big Bear and we spoke and actually became pretty close. We talked about training regime, stuff athletes talk about. I loved it there.

 

“The adjustment from amateurs to pros has been fine. The only difference is handling the different rounds and realizing that you have to pace yourself for these eight, 10, 12 round fights.

 

“The best time to knock a guy out is in the first two rounds when they aren’t warmed up yet. I tried against (Jorge) Melendez but I couldn’t get him out. I just realized I needed to pace myself for the other six rounds and work the body. It was nice to get those rounds and experience against a tough fighter.

 

“I know he (Coley) is a pretty hard-hitting southpaw. I assume that he won’t come forward, but maybe he’ll surprise me. He has a few knockouts, but I’m going to watch him, learn and adapt.

 

“I faced southpaws in the amateurs. His style won’t give me any issues. I could even switch to a southpaw stance if I need to.

 

“Personally, health allowing, I think I should be a contender by the end of 2015. But I put all my trust into my team. They know best. My job is just to train and prepare for everything they put in front of me.

 

“Yes, 100 percent I’d like to face Gennady. To be the best you have to fight the best. And right now I consider him to be the best 160 pound fighter in the world.”

 

COLEY:

“Fighting on TV for me is a big deal. When I was little, my father used to throw fight parties to watch big fights and tomorrow he’s throwing one for me. That alone makes me so proud. I’ll have my own viewing party. I’m fighting on national television, op Showtime. That’s such of big deal for me. This is my breakout. This is the sign I’m made it.

 

“I stay in shape all year round, but for the past two months I’ve been taking it to the extreme. Training hard, sparring even harder.

 

“I’ve been working very hard. I’ve sparred with world champions and I’ve been doing well. I think this is my time to step up and show everybody how good I am.

 

“I’m predicting there will be a stoppage in the later rounds.”

DEREVYANCHENKO:

“The competition I faced in the WSB was, for the most part, the best fighters in the world. Sover, the guys I’ve faced in the pros don’t have that resume, that skill level. So I think I’ve fought in more than just four pro fights.

 

“I’m working hard in the gym to make the transition from amateur to pro. I’m taking it step-by-step. I don’t want to jump the gun or make a mistake too fast. I’m looking forward to increasing my level of opposition gradually.

 

“I’ve seen some of his (Campa) gevegte. In some fights he boxes different than in other fights. We’ll see what he does in the ring and adjust accordingly. But I don’t think he can bring anything that I haven’t seen before. But he’s a Mexican fighter so we know he won’t give up.

 

“I’m going to show what I’m worth. I’ve been preparing for this my whole life. Now is my chance to build my fan base and show what I can do in the ring.”

CAMPA:

“This is my first fight in the U.S., and I’m planning to take full advantage of this opportunity.

 

“My training was intense, a lot of running, especially in the mountains. I worked on my conditioning and my speed. I’m at the best shape I’ve ever been.

 

“When I found out about my opponent, I watched video on him and I know I’m better than him. I think my main advantages are age and speed. My opponent is 29, Ek is 23. I’m younger and quicker and I’m not about to make it easy for him.

 

“I’m going to read him in the early rounds and, if I feel he’s not hurting me, I’ll go the distance.

 

“This fight is a huge step-up for me. I see it as key fight. I feel it might be a make or break for me. Ons sal sien, I might get a chance to deliver a knockout and that might spark some attention in the boxing world.”

Vrydag, April 10 Op 10 namiddag. EN/PT; Woon op Showtime®

NEW YORK (April 2, 2015) - Brooklyn-moedertaal, onoorwonne Frank "berugte" GALARZA (16-0-2, 10 Uitklophoue) keer terug na die ring België te veg Sheldon "Die digter" Moore (13-2-1, 9 Uitklophoue) in 'n agt-ronde super weltergewig bout headlining ShoBox: Die nuwe generasie tripleheader on Vrydag, April 10 uit die Aviator Sport en gebeure Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., woon op Showtime (10 namiddag. EN/PT, vertraag op die Weskus).

 

GALARZA, deur baie beskou "Die Brooklyn Rocky," gaan voort om te maak vir verlore tyd. Sy skokkende tweede ronde knockout oorwinning oor die gunsteling John Thompson op sy ShoBox: Die nuwe generasiedebuut, was one of the most memorable knockouts of the year. Galarza has been on a tear since.

 

"GALARZA was 'n toevallige ontdekking deur ShoBox,'' Erken boks historikus en ShoBox deskundige ontleder Steve Farhood. "Sedert hy Thompson ontstel, hy het meer vier keer, en elke keer beter gelyk. Die vlak van sy opposisie nie toelaat dat hy 'n aanspraakmaker om genoem te word nie, maar hy is groot vordering. Ek sou dink op die ouderdom van 29 hy sal probeer om dit 'n deurbraak jaar te maak vir hom. "

 

Die GALARZA-Moore bout is een van drie geskeduleerde agt veelsydige spelers op 'n uitsending wat 'n duidelike Brooklyn geur dit. Onoorwonne power-pons middelgewigtitel Ievgen "Die Oekraïense Lion" Khytrov (9-0, 9 Uitklophoue) en stalmaat, blou-chip super middelgewig vooruitsig Sergiy "Die Tegnikus" Derevyanchenko (4-0, 3 Uitklophoue / World Series of Boxing: 23-1, 7 Uitklophoue) ook woon in Brooklyn.

Vir GALARZA, wie bekruip in die wêreld ranglys, die onlangse oplewing kon nie op 'n beter tyd. A fisies sterk, aggressiewe bokser-slaner, GALARZA het 'n laat begin in die boks en het net 11 amateur gevegte.

 

"Die tyd vir my is beslis nou,'' Het hy gesê. "My eerste ShoBox veg stel die platform vir my. Ek het nie net wen 'n stryd wat absoluut niemand het gedink ek kon, Ek het dit in groot styl. Ek het 'n verklaring. Ek het voortgegaan om te groei en voel ek het beter geword sedert daardie stryd. Maar ek is hier mense wat ek alles oor om te wys, voortgaan om baie hard te oefen en net neem dit bietjie vir bietjie, een geveg op 'n tyd.

 

"Dit is opwindend om te veg in die TV-hoofren in my agterplaas. Ek het nog nooit meer gemotiveerd vir 'n wedstryd. Ek wil Showtime te bedank vir my 'n ander geleentheid om te veg op ShoBox.''

 

Styl-wyse, GALARZA glo dit is 'n groot matchup vir hom. "Moore lyk fisies groot en sterk, taai en honger en kom om te veg,'' Het hy gesê. "Hy is 'n aggressiewe en dit is die beste deel oor dit - dit moet maak vir 'n groot stryd. Ek kan aggressief, te. Ek weet dat hy kom om te veg en almal weet ek is nie agtertoe beweeg, so ek verwag vuurwerke.

 

"Ek kom elke keer om te veg, veral op Showtime, op ShoBox waar hulle gee jou teenstanders van goeie kaliber wat verwag is op 'n show te sit en verwag om 'n goeie stryd te maak.

 

"Dit is in Brooklyn, my tuisdorp, en ek wil die mense te vermaak. Dit is my show, my tuiskoms, en Ek sal my tuisveld verdedig. Ek het 'n werk te doen op April 10, maar daarna het, die groot name van die afdeling gaan gedwing word om te gaan met my. Ek is 29 en tot dit alles op die lyn. ''

 

In sy mees onlangse ShoBox voorkoms, GALARZA gewen met 'n eenparige agt-ronde besluit oor voorheen onoorwonne Sebastien Bouchard (8-0 gaan in) Mei 16, 2014, deur die tellings van 78-73 en 77-74 twee keer ondanks die feit dat 'n punt in die finale rondte afgetrek vir 'n lae hou.

 

GALARZA se teenstander, 27-jaar-oue Moore, maak sy ShoBox debuut en vierde begin in die Verenigde State van Amerika, waar hy is 1-1-1. Hy het die afgelope verskyn in die VS. in Junie 2012.

"Dit is 'n groot geleentheid vir my en my loopbaan, hande af is dit die grootste stryd van my lewe,"Het Moore gesê. "Dit is 'n moet-wen stryd vir my. Ek het 'n paar van GALARZA se gevegte gesien en ek is vol vertroue dat ek het wat dit neem om hom te ontstel in sy agterplaas. Dit is 'n droom vir my, veg op nasionale televisie, en Ek is van plan op wat die boks wêreld wat ek behoort aan die elite vlak van hierdie afdeling.

"My styl is beslis aggressiewe. Ek hou af te loop my opponent. GALARZA het goeie beweging en goeie bereik. Maar hierdie stryd sal die eerste geveg wees waar ek nie hoef op die kant om te werk tydens die voorbereiding. Ek is 100 persent toegewy aan die sport en ingestel om te gaan op 10 April "

 

Die 5-voet-10 Moore het sy laaste twee gevegte gewen, die mees onlangse op 'n eerste-ronde knockout oor Janos Varga laaste Desember. 20 in België. Net soos GALARZA, Hy het 'n laat begin in die boks en het 'n beperkte amateur loopbaan (27 eindig). Hy het skopboks toe hy 15, maar het nie sy eerste amateur stryd tot die ouderdom van 19.

 

Khytrov (uitgespreek HY-koste) was 'n fenomenale amateur met berigte 500 amateur aanvalle. Hy was die 2011 amateur wêreldkampioen en 'n verteenwoordiger vir die Oekraïne in die 2012 Olimpiese Spele.

 

Dit sal sy tweede verskyning op wees ShoBox. In sy debuut op Jan. 9, Hy vernietig die voorheen onoorwonne Maurice Louishomme, wen deur derde ronde TKO. Hy verlig Louishomme met regte hande en uppercuts aan die liggaam, verbysterende hom op verskeie geleenthede in 'n eensydige affêre wat gestop is op 0:24 in die derde ronde.

 

Aggressiewe, offensief-minded Khytrov geveg 'n totaal van 27 rondes in nege begin, 'n gemiddeld van drie rondes 'n geveg - en dit sluit sy loopbaan-beste agtste ronde TKO oor altyd-taai Puerto Rikaanse Jorge Melendez Maart 6.

 

"Ievgen [uitgespreek yev-jenewer, met 'n harde G] is as fan-vriendelike 'n vegter soos jy sal vind, nooit neem 'n agteruit stap, lyk sy teenstander seer te maak met al die punch,'' Farhood gesê. “After nine fights, Hy toon al die tekens wat hy sal 'n titel aanspraakmaker in 'n jaar-tot-18 maande. Sy mees onlangse, 'n oponthoud oor Jorge Melendez, was 'n dapper stap om te neem op 'n gevaarlike en ervare teenstander en hy het hom, gebreek hom af. Wat sê dit vir my?"

 

Een van die top vooruitsigte in die boks, die 5-voet-11, 26-jaar-oue Khytrov is verskuif na 'n veel vinniger tempo as die meeste ander vooruitsigte op hierdie stadium van hul loopbane. Hy het sy professionele debuut op die ouderdom van 25 in Desember 2013 en geveg ses keer in 2014. Dit is sy derde stryd van 2015. Al sy gevegte het in die Verenigde State van Amerika is.

Khytrov, wat verskuif na Brooklyn kort ná die 2012 Olimpiese Spele, is gretig om April 10 om te kom. "Ek is baie opgewonde om terug te keer na die ring op April 10, veral is dat die stryd is in my aangeneem huis van Brooklyn,'' Het hy gesê. "Ek wil my promotors DiBella Vermaak bedank en veg Promotions Inc. en my bestuurder Al HAYMON vir hierdie geleentheid om weer showcase my vaardighede op ShoBox.

"Ek verwag 'n taai stryd uit Coley, wat, soos ek, nog nooit verslaan as 'n professionele. Ons het geweet dat 2015 gaan 'n groot jaar wees vir myself en my loopbaan, en ek belowe nog 'n skouspelagtige vertoning April 10 as ons voortgaan om die geledere van my afdeling te beweeg. "

Khytrov vergelyk sy styl een van boks se all-time greats. “Ek het 'n Roberto Duran styl. Ek is 'n all-out schreeuwer,'' Het hy gesê. "Ek val die liggaam. Ek hou van die TV kollig. ''

 

Coley is 'n hotklou en twee jaar pro wie neem 'n groot stap in hierdie stryd, sy ShoBox en agt-ronde debuut. 'N vooruitsig op 160 pond - het hy verhuis uit die junior middelgewigtitel afdeling in sy laaste stryd - hy iscoming af die sesde uitklophou van sy loopbaan, 'n vyfde ronde KO oor Loren Myers op Oktober. 11, 2014.

 

"Ek is baie opgewonde oor die klem op my vaardighede op 'n platform soos Showtime,'' Sê die altyd goed gekondisioneer Coley, wat nog nooit platgeslaan as 'n pro of amateur. "Ek het gesien Khytrov stryd. Van hoe dit lyk, Hy is 'n ordentlike vegter. Ek dink regtig nie daar is iets spesiaal omtrent hom. Hy is redelik eenvoudig, 'n Oos-Europese dude wat net kom in en gebruik min hoeke. Hy is 'n harde slaner met goeie krag, maar ek die ouens wat hy veg nie weet.

 

"Sommige Meer, jy kan nie seer wat jy nie kan tref. "

 

'N ratse bokser wat nou uit Virgil HunterSe gimnasium in die noorde van Kalifornië, Coley maak sy tweede begin vir nuwe afrigter Eddie Croft.Hy was die lewe en die opleiding in Las Vegas. Hy het 8-0 aan die begin van 'n pro loopbaan wat begin in April 2012.

 

Oor sy bynaam, Coley gesê, "My pa besit 'n skrootmetaal besigheid."

 

Derevyanchenko (uitgespreek der-jy-van-CHENK-oh), wat maak syShoBox debuut, het die voorkoms van 'n "can not-mis" aanspraakmaker. 'N stap verder, baie verwag sy trap in die wêreld ranglys niks minder as meteoriese te wees. Hy is tans die posisie Geen. 12 in die IBF, Moenie. 25 in die WBC.

 

"Ek is baie opgewonde oor my eerste stryd op Amerikaanse televisie,'' Het hy gesê. "Dit sal my eerste keer verskyn op ShoBox en ek is absoluut verheug. Dit is my kom partytjie. Ek berei, dag en nag, en ek is gereed om my vaardighede ten toon te stel aan die wêreld. Ek is gereed om te wys hulle 'die tegnikus. "

 

"My styl is baie tegniese, maar sodra ek vind my teenstander uit, Ek val verwoed. Met harde werk en 'n groot span agter my, Ek sal 'n wêreldkampioen in my afdeling geword. Daar is geen twyfel in my gedagte. "

 

'N uitsonderlike amateur, die 5-voet-7 Derevyanchenko saamgestel 'n verstommende rekord van 390-20 terwyl verteenwoordig sy geboorteland Oekraïne aan die 2008 Olimpiese Spele. Een jaar voor, Hy het die brons medalje by die 2007 Amateur Wêreldkampioenskappe.

 

Dit sal Derevyanchenko se vyfde begin in 'n ry buite die World Series boks waar hy wees 23-1. Hy was die 2012 WSB Team Kampioen en 2011 en 2012 WSB Individuele Kampioen. Hy het in die WSB geveg vanaf November 2010 tot April 2014.

Soos vir sy teenstander, Derevyanchenko gesê, "Campa is 'n goeie vegter - hoog, sterk. Hy lyk duursame, 'n stewige opponent. ''

Die 6-voet-1, 23-jaar oud is om 'n reuse-sprong in die klas en die kans is teen hom, maar nie een van daardie sake vir hom een ​​keer die opening klokkie geluide.

“I am very excited to finally make my dream a reality and fight in the United States,'' Het hy gesê. "Dit is net die geleentheid wat ek het opgeleide en geveg het vir die afgelope vyf jaar. Ek is veelsydig; Ek kan aggressief veg of boks en skuif.

“Many promising young prospects got their start on ShoBox en hy het op die wêreld titels te wen. Op April 10, Alan Campa sal begin baan die pad die lys van aan te sluit ShoBox wêreldkampioene.
