LAS VEGAS (Syv. 8, 2017) – At 20 år, 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 på fredag night on an exciting night of 168-pound action on SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL UDGAVE fra Det Fælles på Hard Rock Hotel & Kasino. See the video of the decision via Twitter link HER.

 

Benavidez (19-0, 17 KOS) placed the previously vacated WBC Super Middleweight belt around his waist after winning the title against former European amateur standout Gavril (18-2, 14 KOS) 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 og 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 og sidste runde.

 

“I feel I won the fight. Jeg dominerede tempoet. 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 amatør kampe, 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, ottende og niende runder. In rounds 11 og 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 sagde. “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 Kærlighed på 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, Kærlighed (23-1-1, 13 KOS) leaned in and the two fighter banged heads in violent fashion. Han (26-3-1, 16 KOS) af 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 samlet, 20-12 jabs, 58-35 magt) 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,"Sagde han. “Other than that I feel like I landed the cleaner shots.”

 

Ved indledningen anfald af telecast, unbeaten super middleweight prospect Caleb Plant (16-0, 10 KOS) recorded a 10-round shutout decision against a tough Andrew Hernandez (19-7-1, 9 KOS), 100-90 tre gange.

 

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 af 271, 30 procent) while neutralizing Hernandez’s usually effective jab (46 af 325, 14 procent). Plant was also sharp with his power shots landing 44 percent to Hernandez’s 19 procent.

 

“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 runder.

 

“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!"

 

Fredagens tripleheader will replay on Sunday, Syv. 10, på 9 a.m. OG/PT, og Mandag, Syv. 11, på 10 p.m. OG/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME on DEMAND® og SHOWTIME ANYTIME®.

 

Barry Tompkins called the action from ringside with Bernstein and former world champion Raul Marquez serving as expert analysts. Den udøvende producer var Gordon Hall, hvor Richard Gaughan producerede og Rick Phillips instruerede.

Plant will face late opponent, Andrew Hernandez (19-6-1, 9 KOS) in a ten-round bout. Tune indenne fredag på SHOWTIME (10 p.m. OG/PT).
With just a few days away from the fight, Plant gives is thoughts on facing Hernandez, uddannelse, og mere, as he wraps up the final days of camp.
On his matchup with late opponent Andrew Hernandez…
“For at være ærlig, 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.”
På hans seneste træningslejr…
“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, Jeg vil være klar.”
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 denne fredagnat.”
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…
“En sejr denne fredag will get me one step closer to a world title shot. I’m currently ranked WBA #7 og #11 af 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 Kærlighed, 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 denne fredag tripleheader.

 

David “El Bandera Roja” Benavidez

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

 

På sin modstander:

“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, samt. 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 år; former WBA light heavyweight world champion, retired in 1988 et referat af 50-8-1, 39 KOS).

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.”

 

På sin modstander:

“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 Kærlighed

  • 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.

 

På sin modstander:

“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. Så, 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 år; former pro junior lightweight, retired in 1985 et referat af 19-3, 12 KOS; 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 (Ørred) 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 KOS) 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 KOS) 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.”

“I 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, CEO for 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.”
After delivering a highlight reel knockout of Rogelio Medina in May, Benavidez has now racked up a perfect 18 wins in 18 starts at just 20-years-old. 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. Senest, Benavidez began his 2017 campaign with a second-round destruction of Sherali Mamajonov in January. The Phoenix-native will look to make history in the 168-pound division onSeptember 8.

Gavril bounced back emphatically with seven straight victories including then unbeaten Oscar Riojas and once-beaten Christopher Brooker. He scored a third-round stoppage of Decarlo Perez in April ahead of his first world title opportunity.
En gang slået contender på 168-pounds, the 29-year-old Love bounced back from his lone defeat with three victories 2015 before stopping Michael Gbenga and Dashon Johnson in 2016. Den Inkster, Mich., native earned wins over Marco Antonio Periban, Derrick Findley and Lajuan Simon on his way to contender status and will look for another victory to put him in world title contention.

Her er hvad de krigere havde at sige, inden torsdagens indvejningen:

 

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, for. Jeg kan være aggressive, 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. Jeg mener, 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.

 

"For mig, 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. Jeg er nødt til at vinde. 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. Nu, 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 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.

 

"Personligt, 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, på 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. Indtil nu, 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) slagsmål. 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, Jeg er 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.”

Fredag, April 10 På 10 p.m. OG/PT; Live på SHOWTIME®

NEW YORK (April 2, 2015) - Brooklyn-native, ubesejret Frank "Notorious" Galarza (16-0-2, 10 KOS) vender tilbage til ringen for at kæmpe Belgiens Sheldon "The Closer" Moore (13-2-1, 9 KOS) i en otte-runde super weltervægt Bout hovednavn ShoBox: Den nye generation tripleheader on Fredag, April 10 fra Aviator Sport og Events Center i Brooklyn, N.Y., lever videre SHOWTIME (10 p.m. OG/PT, forsinket på vestkysten).

 

Galarza, betragtes af mange som "The Brooklyn Rocky," fortsætter med at gøre op for tabte tid. Hans chokerende anden runde knockout sejr over begunstigede John Thompson på hans ShoBox: Den nye generationdebut, was one of the most memorable knockouts of the year. Galarza has been on a tear since.

 

"Galarza var en tilfældig fund af ShoBox,'' Anerkendte boksning historiker og ShoBox ekspert analytiker Steve Farhood. "Da han forstyrret Thompson, han har vundet fire gange, og kiggede bedre hver gang. Niveauet af indsigelsen ikke tillader ham at blive kaldt en udfordrer endnu, men han har gjort væsentlige fremskridt. Jeg ville synes i en alder 29 han ville forsøge at gøre dette til et gennembrud år for ham. "

 

Den Galarza-Moore anfald er en af ​​tre planlagte otte-rundbold på en telecast, der har en særskilt Brooklyn smag til det. Undefeated power-stansning mellemvægt Ievgen "Den ukrainske Lion" Khytrov (9-0, 9 KOS) og stablemate, blue-chip super mellemvægt udsigten Sergiy "teknikeren" Derevyanchenko (4-0, 3 KOs / World Series of Boxing: 23-1, 7 KOS) også bosat i Brooklyn.

Billetter kan købes ved at ringe DiBella Entertainment på (212) 947-2577. Døre åbne på 6:15 p.m. OG, med den første kamp planlagt til 6:45 p.m. OG.

 

For Galarza, hvem der snigende op i verden placeringer, den seneste stigning kunne ikke komme på et bedre tidspunkt. En fysisk stærk, aggressiv bokser-puncher, Galarza fik en sen start i boksning og havde kun 11 amatør kampe.

 

"Tiden for mig er afgjort nu,'' Sagde han. "Min første ShoBox kæmpe indstille platform for mig. Jeg har ikke bare vinde en kamp, ​​der absolut ingen troede jeg kunne, Jeg vandt det i stor stil. Jeg fremsatte en erklæring. Jeg har fortsat med at vokse og føler jeg har fået bedre, da denne kamp. Men jeg er her for at vise folk, hvad jeg alt om, fortsætte med at træne meget hårdt og bare tage det lidt efter lidt, en kamp ad gangen.

 

"Det er spændende at kæmpe i den tv-main event i min baghave. Jeg har aldrig været mere motiverede for en match. Jeg vil gerne takke SHOWTIME for at give mig endnu en mulighed for at kæmpe på ShoBox.''

 

Style-wise, Galarza mener, at dette er en stor matchup for ham. "Moore ser fysisk stor og stærk, hård og sultne og kommer til at kæmpe,'' Sagde han. "Han er aggressiv, og det er den bedste del om det - det burde gøre for en stor kamp. Jeg kan være aggressive, for. Jeg ved, han kommer til at kæmpe og alle ved jeg ikke bevæger sig baglæns, så jeg forventer fyrværkeri.

 

"Jeg kommer til at kæmpe hver gang, især på SHOWTIME, på ShoBox hvor de giver dig modstandere af god kaliber, som forventes at lægge på en vis og forventes at yde en god kamp.

 

"Det er i Brooklyn, min hjemby, og jeg ønsker at underholde folket. Dette er mit show, min hjemkomst, og jeg vil forsvare min hjemmebane. Jeg har et job at gøre på April 10, men efter at, de store navne i divisionen vil blive tvunget til at beskæftige sig med mig. Jeg er 29 og om det hele på linjen. ''

 

I sin seneste ShoBox udseende, Galarza vandt en enstemmig otte-runde afgørelse i forhold til tidligere ubesejret Sebastien Bouchard (8-0 går i) maj 16, 2014, af snesevis af 78-73 og 77-74 to gange trods har et punkt trækkes for en lav slag i sidste runde.

 

Galarza modstander, 27-år gamle Moore, gør hans ShoBox debut og fjerde start i USA, hvor han er 1-1-1. Han sidst dukkede op i US. i juni 2012.

"Dette er en enorm mulighed for mig og min karriere, hænder ned dette er den største kamp i mit liv,"Moore sagde. "Det er et must-win kamp for mig. Jeg har set et par af Galarza s kampe, og jeg er helt sikker på, at jeg har hvad det kræver at forstyrre ham i hans baghave. Dette er en drøm for mig, kæmper på nationalt tv, og jeg planlægger at vise boksning verden, at jeg hører på eliteniveau i denne division.

"Min stil er absolut aggressiv. Jeg kan godt lide at gå ned min modstander. Galarza har god bevægelse og god rækkevidde. Men denne kamp vil være den første kamp, ​​hvor jeg ikke behøver at arbejde på siden under udarbejdelsen. Jeg er 100 procent dedikeret til sport og sat til at gå på April 10. "

 

Det 5-fods-10 Moore har vundet sine to sidste kampe, den seneste på en første runde knockout løbet Janos Varga sidste December. 20 i Belgien. Ligesom Galarza, han fik en sen start i boksning og havde en begrænset amatør karriere (27 ender). Han kickboxing, da han var 15, men havde ikke sin første amatør kamp indtil en alder af 19.

 

Khytrov (udtalte HE-omkostninger) var en fænomenal amatør med sigende 500 amatør anfald. Han var den 2011 amatør verdensmester og en repræsentant for Ukraine i 2012 Olympiske Lege.

 

Dette vil være hans anden optræden på ShoBox. I sin debut på Jan. 9, han ødelagde den tidligere ubesejrede Maurice Louishomme, vinde ved tredje runde TKO. Han lyser op Louishomme med højre hånd og uppercuts til kroppen, forskyde ham på flere gange i en ensidig affære, som blev stoppet ved 0:24 i tredje runde.

 

Aggressive, offensiv-minded Khytrov har kæmpet alt 27 runder i ni starter, et gennemsnit på tre runder en kamp - og det omfatter hans karriere-bedste ottende runde TKO løbet altid-hårde puertoricanske Jorge Melendez marts 6.

 

"Ievgen [udtalt Yev-gin, med en hård G] er så fan-venlige en fighter, som du finder, aldrig tager et tilbageskridt, ser ud til at gøre ondt sin modstander med hvert slag,'Farhood sagde. “After nine fights, han viser alle tegn på, at han vil være en titel udfordrer i en år-til-18 måneder. Hans seneste, et stop i løbet af Jorge Melendez, var et modigt skridt at tage på en farlig og erfaren modstander, og han tog ham ud, brød ham ned. Hvad siger det mig?"

 

En af de øverste perspektiver i boksning, 5-fods-11, 26-årige Khytrov er flyttet på et langt hurtigere tempo end de fleste andre perspektiver på dette tidspunkt af deres karriere. Han fik sin professionelle debut i en alder 25 i december 2013 og kæmpede seks gange i 2014. Dette er hans tredje kamp 2015. Alle hans kampe har været i USA.

Khytrov, der flyttede til Brooklyn kort efter 2012 OL, er ivrig for April 10 at ankomme. "Jeg er meget spændt på at vende tilbage til ringen på April 10, især bliver, at kampen er i min vedtaget hjem for Brooklyn,'' Sagde han. "Jeg vil gerne takke mine initiativtagere DiBella Underholdning og bekæmpelse Kampagner Inc. og min manager Al Haymon for denne lejlighed til endnu en gang fremvise mine evner på ShoBox.

"Jeg forventer en hård kamp ud af Coley, der, som jeg selv, er aldrig blevet besejret som en professionel. Vi vidste, at 2015 skulle være et stort år for mig og min karriere, og jeg lover endnu en spektakulær optræden på April 10 som vi fortsætter med at bevæge sig op i rækken af ​​min division. "

Khytrov sammenligner sin stil til en af ​​boksning all-time greats. “Jeg har fået en Roberto Duran stil. Jeg er en all-out kampspil,'' Sagde han. "Jeg angriber kroppen. Jeg elsker TV søgelyset. ''

 

Coley er en venstre-hander og toårige pro, hvem der tager en enorm skridt op i denne kamp, hans ShoBox og otte-round debut. Et perspektiv på 160 pounds - han flyttede op fra junior mellemvægt division i sin sidste kamp - han iscoming fra den sjette knockout af sin karriere, en femte runde KO løbet Loren Myers den okt. 11, 2014.

 

"Jeg er meget begejstret for fremvisning mine evner på en platform som SHOWTIME,'' Sagde den altid godt med aircondition Coley, der aldrig har været slået ned som en pro eller amatør. "Jeg har set Khytrov kamp. Fra hvad det ligner, han er en anstændig fighter. Jeg tror ikke rigtig der er noget specielt ved ham. Han er temmelig ligetil, en østeuropæisk fyr der bare kommer ind og bruger lidt vinkler. Han er en hård puncher med god effekt, men jeg kender ikke de fyre han kæmpet.

 

"Nogle flere, du kan ikke skade, hvad du ikke kan ramme. "

 

En adræt bokser, der nu arbejder ud fra Virgil Hunter'S gym i det nordlige Californien, Coley gør sin anden start for ny træner Eddie Croft.Han havde levet og træning i Las Vegas. Han gik 8-0 ved starten af ​​en pro karriere, der begyndte i april 2012.

 

Med hensyn til hans øgenavn, Coley sagde, "Min far ejer en jernskrot."

 

Derevyanchenko (udtales der-du-van-CHENK-oh), der gør hansShoBox debut, har udseendet af en "can not miss" contender. Et skridt videre, mange forventer hans opstigning i verden placeringer til at være intet mindre end rivende. Han øjeblikket rangeret Nej. 12 i IBF, Do Not. 25 i WBC.

 

"Jeg er meget begejstret for min første kamp på amerikansk tv,'' Sagde han. "Dette vil være min første gang opført på ShoBox og jeg er absolut begejstret. Dette er min kommer ud parti. Jeg forbereder dag og nat, og jeg er klar til at fremvise mine evner til verden. Jeg er klar til at vise dem "teknikeren."

 

"Min stil er meget teknisk, men når jeg regne min modstander ud, Jeg angriber ondskabsfuldt. Med hårdt arbejde og en stor team bag mig, Jeg vil blive en verdensmester i min division. Der er ingen tvivl i mit sind. "

 

En ekstraordinær amatør, 5-fods-7 Derevyanchenko udarbejdet en forbløffende registrering af 390-20 mens repræsentere sit hjemland Ukraine på 2008 Olympiske Lege. Et år før, han vandt bronzemedalje ved 2007 Amatør VM.

 

Dette vil være Derevyanchenko femte start i træk uden for World Series of Boxing, hvor han gik 23-1. Han var den 2012 WSB Team Champion og 2011 og 2012 WSB Individuel Champion. Han kæmpede i WSB fra November 2010 til april 2014.

 

Derevyanchenko vandt sin første kamp uden for WSB på en anden runde TKO løbet Cromwell Gordon på juli 23, 2014. I sin sidste start i sidsteFebruar. 20, han scorede en ensidig anden runde TKO løbet Regeringen Biosse.

 

Som for hans modstander, Derevyanchenko sagde, "Campa er en god fighter - høj, stærk. Han ser holdbart, en solid modstander. ''

 

Campa gør hans ShoBox debut på April 10 og det vil være hans første kamp uden for Mexico. Han har vundet fire i træk, tre af knockout. Han slået ud Christian Chavez i anden runde i sin sidste udflugt sidsteDecember. 6.

Den 6-fods-1, 23-årige tager en gigantisk spring i klassen og oddsene er imod ham, men intet af dette betyder noget for ham, når åbningen klokke lyde.

“I am very excited to finally make my dream a reality and fight in the United States,'' Sagde han. "Dette er kun den mulighed, jeg har trænet og kæmpet for de sidste fem år. Jeg er alsidig; Jeg kan kæmpe aggressivt eller kasse og flytte.

“Many promising young prospects got their start on ShoBox og endte med at vinde VM-titler. På April 10, Alan Campa vil begynde at bane vejen til at tilslutte sig listen over ShoBox verdensmestre.

"Jeg har trænet meget hårdt. Jeg ved, at jeg kan vinde denne kamp. "

Campa havde også en stærk amatør baggrund (182-6). Inden du tænder pro i september 2010, han var en fem-tid Sonoran state mester, en fem-tid regional mester, og en fire-tiden mester. Han var også den guldvinder på 2010 Pan American Youth Championships på 165 pounds.
