LAS VEGAS (Sedm. 8, 2017) – At 20 léta, 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 v pátek night on an exciting night of 168-pound action on SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIÁLNÍ EDICE ze Společného v Hard Rock Hotel & Kasino. See the video of the decision via Twitter link ZDE.

 

Benavidez (19-0, 17 KO) placed the previously vacated WBC Super Middleweight belt around his waist after winning the title against former European amateur standout Gavril (18-2, 14 KO) 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 a 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 12th a poslední kolo.

 

"Mám pocit, já jsem vyhrál zápas. dominuje I 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 amatérské zápasy, 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, osmého a devátého kola. In rounds 11 a 12, Benavidez out-landed Gavril 66-35 celková a 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 Láska na 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, Láska (23-1-1, 13 KO) leaned in and the two fighter banged heads in violent fashion. Han (26-3-1, 16 KO) of 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.

 

Han, 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 celkově, 20-12 Jabs, 58-35 energie) 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,"Řekl. “Other than that I feel like I landed the cleaner shots.”

 

V úvodním zápasu na televizní vysílání, unbeaten super middleweight prospect Caleb Plant (16-0, 10 KO) recorded a 10-round shutout decision against a tough Andrew Hernandez (19-7-1, 9 KO), 100-90 třikrát.

 

Rostlina, 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 daysnotice after Alan Campa dropped out. Plant jabbed effectively (81 na 271, 30 procento) while neutralizing Hernandez’s usually effective jab (46 na 325, 14 procento). Plant was also sharp with his power shots landing 44 percent to Hernandez’s 19 procento.

 

“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 kola.

 

“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. I’m coming!"

 

Páteční tripleheader will replay on Sunday, Sedm. 10, na 9 a.m. A/PT, a Pondělí, Sedm. 11, na 10 p.m. A/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME on DEMAND® a SHOWTIME ANYTIME®.

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, Budu připraven.”

The following is a training camp update from each of the fighters on tento páteční tripleheader.

 

David “El Bandera Roja” Benavidez

  • He trains out of The Summit Gym in Big Bear, Kalif.
  • His trainer is his father, Jose Benavidez Sr.
  • With a victory, Benavidez (stáří 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.”

 

Na jeho soupeř:

“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, také. 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 let; former WBA light heavyweight world champion, retired in 1988 se záznamem 50-8-1, 39 KO).

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.”

 

Na jeho soupeř:

“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 Láska

  • 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.

 

Na jeho soupeř:

“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. Tak, 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 let; former pro junior lightweight, retired in 1985 se záznamem 19-3, 12 KO; 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 (Pstruh) 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 ‘officialtraining 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 Beirscrew. We’re all pushing each other to get better and I know they’ll have me ready for fight night.”

Benavidez (18-0, 17 KO) has a chance to make historyat 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 KO) 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 Září 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.

“V listopadu 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’ podporovatel. “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,” řekl Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions. “We are thrilled to present this fight card on Září 9, filled with tremendous talent featuring top contenders in the Mayweather Promotions stable.

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.

The 31-year-old won his first 11 pro fights before dropping a narrow contest to veteran Elvin Ayala. Gavril bounced back emphatically with seven straight victories including then unbeaten Oscar Riojas and once-beaten Christopher Brooker.

Tady je to, co bojovníci museli říkat před čtvrteční vážit-in:

 

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, také. Můžu být agresivní, 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. Mám na mysli, 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.

 

"Pro mě, 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. Musím vyhrát. 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. Nyní, 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, it comes. I’ll be looking to win, no matter what. 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 Gennady (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 kulaté boje.

 

“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, na 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. Tak daleko, 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) boje. 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, Já jsem 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. We’ll see, I might get a chance to deliver a knockout and that might spark some attention in the boxing world.”

Galarza, mnohými považován "Brooklyn Rocky," pokračuje dohnat ztracený čas. Jeho šokující druhém kole knockout vítězství nad přednost John Thompson Na jeho ShoBox: Nová generacedebut, was one of the most memorable knockouts of the year. Galarza has been on a tear since.

 

"Galarza byl náhodný objev by ShoBox,'' Přiznal boxu historik a ShoBox expert analytik Steve Farhood. "Vzhledem k tomu, že naštvaný Thompson, Vyhrál ještě čtyřikrát, a vypadal lépe pokaždé. Úroveň jeho opozice neumožňuje mu být nazýván kandidáta ještě, ale on dělal velké pokroky. Řekl bych, že ve věku 29 se bude snažit, aby se tento přelomový pro něj. "

 

Galarza-Moore záchvat je jedním ze tří plánovaných osmi-rounders na televizním vysílání, který má výraznou chuť Brooklyn na to.

Pro Galarza, kdo se plíží ve světovém žebříčku, nedávný nárůst nemohla přijít v lepší dobu. Fyzicky silný, agresivní boxer, průbojník, Galarza dostal opožděný start v boxu a měl jen 11 amatérské zápasy.

 

"Čas je pro mě určitě teď,'' Řekl. "Můj první ShoBox bojovat nastavení platformu pro mě. Nechtěl jsem jen vyhrát boj, který absolutně nikdo myslel jsem mohl, Vyhrál jsem to ve velkém stylu. I učinil prohlášení. Já jsem pokračoval v růstu, a pocit, že jsem dostal lepší, protože toho boje. Ale já jsem tady ukázat lidem, co jsem všechno, i nadále trénovat velmi tvrdě a jen se to kousek po kousku, jeden boj v době.

 

"Je to vzrušující bojovat do televizní hlavní události v mém dvorku. Nikdy jsem nebyl víc motivováni na zápas. Chtěl bych poděkovat Showtime, že mi další možnost bojovat o ShoBox.''

 

Style-moudrý, Galarza věří, že to je skvělý matchup pro něj. "Moore vypadá fyzicky velká a silná, tvrdý a hlad a přichází k boji,'' Řekl. "Je to agresivní, a to je ta nejlepší část o tom - to by mělo pro velký boj. Můžu být agresivní, také. Já vím, že to přichází bojovat a každý ví, že já nejsem v pohybu zpět, takže myslím, že ohňostroje.

 

"Přišel jsem bojovat pokaždé, zejména na SHOWTIME, na ShoBox kde se vám oponenty dobrého kalibru, které se očekává, že kladen na show, a očekává se, že dobrý boj.

 

"Je to v Brooklynu, moje rodné město, a chci bavit lidi. To je můj pořad, můj návrat domů, a budu hájit své domácí půdě. Mám nějakou práci v dubnu 10, ale po tom, velká jména divize se bude nucen zabývat se mnou. Já jsem 29 a kterým se to všechno na trati. ""

 

Ve své nejnovější ShoBox vzhled, Galarza vyhrál osm kulatého rozhodnutí jednomyslné nad dříve neporažený Sebastien Bouchard (8-0 jdou) května 16, 2014, kterou skóre 78-73 a 77-74 Dvakrát navzdory tomu, že bod odečítá za nízký úder v posledním kole.

 

Galarza soupeř, 27-let starý Moore, dělá jeho ShoBox debut a čtvrtý start do Spojených států, kde je 1-1-1. Ten poslední se objevil v U.S.. v červnu 2012.

"Je to obrovská příležitost pro mě a mou kariéru, ruce dolů je to největší zápas mého života,"Řekl Moore. "Je to must-win boj pro mě. Viděl jsem několik Galarza jeho zápasů a jsem plně přesvědčen, že jsem to, co je zapotřebí, aby ho rozrušilo v jeho dvorku. To je sen pro mě, bojovat v národní televizi, a mám v plánu na prokázání boxerský svět, že patřím na elitní úrovni této divize.

"Můj styl je rozhodně agresivní. Líbí se mi jít dolů můj soupeř. Galarza má dobrý pohyb a dobrý dosah. Ale tento boj bude první zápas, kde nemám v práci na straně v průběhu přípravy. Já jsem 100 procent věnuje sportu, a aby mohli vyrazit na 10. dubna "

 

5-foot-10 Moore vyhrál své poslední dva zápasy, nejnovější na prvním kole knockout přes Janos Varga poslední Prosince. 20 v Belgii. Stejně jako Galarza, dostal opožděný start v boxu a měl omezený amatérskou kariéru (27 konce). On dělal kickbox, když mu bylo 15, ale neměl svůj první amatérský boj až do věku 19.

 

Khytrov (pronounced HE-nákladů) byl fenomenální amatér s údajně 500 amatérské záchvaty. Byl 2011 amatérský mistr světa a zástupce pro Ukrajinu v 2012 Olympijské hry.

 

Bude to jeho druhé vystoupení na ShoBox. Ve svém debutu Leden. 9, zničil dříve neporažený Maurice Louishomme, vyhrávat třetí kole TKO. Zapálil Louishomme s pravou ruku a háky k tělu, vyvádí ho vícekrát za jednostranným aféry, který byl zastaven na 0:24 ve třetím kole.

 

Útočný, útok smýšlející Khytrov bojoval celkem 27 nábojů v devíti startů, průměr ve třech kolech boje - a to včetně jeho kariéra-best osmé kolo TKO přes vždy tvrdá Puerto Rican Jorge Melendez března 6.

 

"Ievgen [prohlásil YEV-gin, s tvrdým G] je fan-přátelský bojovník, jak si najdete, Nikdy se o krok zpět, Vypadá ublížit svého soupeře s každým punč,'' Řekl Farhood. “After nine fights, se zobrazí všechny známky toho, že on bude titul uchazečem za rok-to-18 měsíc. Jeho nejnovější, Zastavení nad Jorge Melendez, byl odvážný krok, aby se na nebezpečnou a zkušeného soupeře a vzal ho, rozbil ho. Co to mi?"

 

Jeden z největších vyhlídkách v boxu, 5-noha-11, 26-letý Khytrov byla přesunuta v mnohem rychlejším tempem, než většina jiných vyhlídky v této fázi své kariéry. On dělal jeho profesionální debut ve věku 25 v prosinci 2013 a bojoval šestkrát 2014. To je jeho třetí boj 2015. Všechny jeho bojů bylo ve Spojených státech.

Khytrov, který se přestěhoval do Brooklynu krátce po 2012 Olympijské hry, touží po Duben 10 přijet. "Jsem velmi nadšený, že se vrací do ringu na Duben 10, především v tom, že boj je v mém přijatém domě Brooklyn,'' Řekl. "Chtěl bych poděkovat všem svým organizátorům DiBella zábava a boj Promoční Inc. a můj manažer Al Haymon za tuto příležitost znovu předvést své dovednosti na ShoBox.

"Očekávám tuhý boj mimo Coley, kdo, jako jsem já, nebyl nikdy poražen jako profesionál. Věděli jsme, že 2015 to bude velký rok pro sebe a svou kariéru, a slibuji, že další velkolepé vystoupení na Duben 10 jak jsme i nadále pohybovat do řad svého divize. "

Khytrov porovná jeho styl do jednoho z všech dob velikány Boxing je. “Mám styl Roberto Duran. Jsem all-out výtržník,'' Řekl. "Myslím, že napadne tělo. Miluji TV pozornost. ""

 

Coley je levák a dva roky pro který bere obrovský krok v tomto boji, jeho ShoBox a osm kole debut. Vyhlídka na 160 liber - se posunula z juniorského middleweight divize v jeho posledním boji - když iscoming off šestý vyřazení jeho kariéry, páté kolo KO nad Loren Myers dne X. 11, 2014.

 

"Jsem velmi nadšený, že představí své dovednosti na platformě, jako SHOWTIME,'' Řekl vždycky dobře-Coley, který nikdy nebyl sražen k zemi jako pro nebo amatér. "Viděl jsem Khytrov boj. Z toho, co to vypadá, on je slušný bojovník. Opravdu si nemyslím, že je to něco zvláštního o něm. Je to docela jednoduché, Evropská frajer a východní kteří jen přijde a používá malé úhly. Je to těžké puncher s dobrým výkonem, ale já nevím, kluci, že byl boj.

 

"Něco Víc, nemůžete ublížit, co nemůžete trefit. "

 

Agilní boxer, který nyní pracuje mimo Virgil Hunter'S tělocvična v severní Kalifornii, Coley dělá svou druhou začátek nového trenéra Eddie Croft.Byl žije a školení v Las Vegas. Šel 8-0 na počátku poměrným kariéry, která začala v dubnu 2012.

 

Pokud jde o jeho přezdívku, Coley řekl, "Můj táta je vlastníkem kovového šrotu podnikání."

 

Derevyanchenko (prohlásil der-you-van-CHENK-oh), kdo dělá jehoShoBox debut, má vzhled "nemůžu-miss" uchazeče. O krok dál, mnozí očekávají, jeho výstup ve světovém žebříčku být nic menšího než raketový. Ten je v současné době zařadil No. 12 v IBF, Do Not. 25 v WBC.

 

"Jsem velmi nadšený svém prvním boji v americké televizi,'' Řekl. "Bude to moje první se objeví na ShoBox a já jsem naprosto nadšená. To je můj coming out strana. Chystám den a noc, a jsem připraven předvést své schopnosti ve světě. Jsem připraven jim ukázat, "technikovi."

 

"Můj styl je velmi technický, ale jakmile jsem se přijít na můj soupeř out, I útoku zlomyslně. Díky tvrdé práci a skvělý tým za mnou, Budu se stal mistrem světa ve své divizi. Není pochyb o tom, v mé mysli. "

 

Výjimečná amatérský, 5-noha-7 Derevyanchenko sestavují ohromující záznam 390-20 zatímco reprezentovat rodnou Ukrajinu na 2008 Olympijské hry. Jeden rok před, získal bronzovou medaili na 2007 Amatérské mistrovství světa.

Campa dělá jeho ShoBox debut na Duben 10 a bude to jeho první zápas venku Mexika. Získal čtyři v řadě, Tři knockout. Ten vyrazil Christian Chavez ve druhém kole v jeho poslední výlet posledníProsince. 6.

6-noha-1, 23-rok-starý je s gigantický skok ve třídě, a šance jsou proti němu, ale nic z toho na čem mu po otevření zvon zvuky.

“I am very excited to finally make my dream a reality and fight in the United States,'' Řekl. "To je jen příležitost, kterou jsem trénoval a bojoval za posledních pět let. Jsem univerzální; Můžu bojovat agresivně nebo krabice a pohyb.
