LAS VEGAS (Sju. 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 EDITION fra The Joint på Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. 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 siste runde.

 

“I feel I won the fight. I dominated the pace. 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 kamper, 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, åttende 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 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 Kjærlighet ved 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, Elske (23-1-1, 13 KOs) leaned in and the two fighter banged heads in violent fashion. Han (26-3-1, 16 KOs) 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 generelle, 20-12 jabs, 58-35 makt) 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,"Han sa. “Other than that I feel like I landed the cleaner shots.”

 

I åpnings bout av sendingen, 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 ganger.

 

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

 

“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, Arizona., 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, Sju. 10, ved 9 a.m. OG/PT, og Mandag, Sju. 11, ved 10 pm. 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. The executive producer was Gordon Hall with Richard Gaughan producing and Rick Phillips directing.

Plant will face late opponent, Andrew Hernandez (19-6-1, 9 KOs) in a ten-round bout. Tune indenne fredagen på SHOWTIME (10 pm. OG/PT).
With just a few days away from the fight, Plant gives is thoughts on facing Hernandez, trening, og mer, as he wraps up the final days of camp.
On his matchup with late opponent Andrew Hernandez…
“For å 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, Jeg kommer ut på toppen.”
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, Jeg skal 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 fredagennatt.”
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 seier denne fredagen will get me one step closer to a world title shot. I’m currently ranked WBA #7 og #11 av 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 Kjærlighet, 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 fredagens 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 motstander:

“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, så vel. 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 med en registrering av 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 motstander:

“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 Kjærlighet

  • 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 motstander:

“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 med en registrering av 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 (Ørret) 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.”

Mer! Two 168-Pound Showdowns as J’Leon Love Meets Abraham Han While Unbeaten Caleb Plant Faces Alan Campa
Billetter i salg Tirsdag, August. 22!
LAS VEGAS (August 17, 2017) – Ubeseiret stigende stjerne David Benavidez and powerful contender Ronald Gavril will battle for the vacant WBC Super Middleweight World Championship on Fredag, Sju. 8 live on SHOWTIME in the headlining attraction of a Premier Boxing Champions event from The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas.
SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION telecast begins at 10 pm. OG/PT and will feature two additional showdowns in the super middleweight division. Once-beaten J'Leon Kjærlighet (23-1, 13 KOs) will battle Texas-native Abraham Han (26-3, 16 KOs) in a 10-round bout while unbeaten prospect Caleb Plant (15-0, 10 KOs) tar på Mexicos Alan Campa (16-3, 11 KOs) i 10 rounds of action.
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’ promoter. “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 i Mayweather Kampanjer. “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. Sist, 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.
Born in Romania, Gavril won a 165 amateur fights and trained with the National Team before turning pro in 2011 and eventually moving to Las Vegas to train at the Mayweather Boxing Club. 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. He scored a third-round stoppage of Decarlo Perez in April ahead of his first world title opportunity.
En gang banket kandidat 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.
Han is a former champion kickboxer and third degree black Blackbelt who hails from El Paso, Texas and enters this fight the winner of his last three contests, including a first round stoppage in March of this year. A winner of his first 19 pro bouts, the 32-year-old owns a victory over Marcos Reyes in addition to narrow losses to former champion Sergio Mora and former title challenger Fernando Guerrero.
A 2011 National Golden Gloves mester, Plant has begun to make his name in the professional ranks since turning pro in 2014. After picking up six victories in 2015, Plant continued his success with stoppages of Adasat Rodriguez and Carlos Galvan before going 10 rounds for the first time in a unanimous decision victory over Juan De Angel in August 2016. The 25-year-old from Nashville began training in Las Vegas this year and picked up a victory over Thomas Awimbono in February.
Fighting out of Sonora, Mexico, the 25-year-old Campa enters this contest the winner of three of his last four contests, including a victory over then once-beaten Paul Valenzuela Jr. last April.

Her er hva jagerfly hadde å si før torsdagens innveiing:

 

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, også. Jeg kan være aggressiv, 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 meg, 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 må vinne. 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. Nå, 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.

 

“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, 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. Så langt, 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) kamper. 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 Ved 10 pm. OG/PT; Live på SHOWTIME®

NEW YORK (April 2, 2015) - Brooklyn-innfødte, ubeseiret Frank "Notorious" Galarza (16-0-2, 10 KOs) tilbake til ringen for å kjempe Belgias Sheldon "The Closer" Moore (13-2-1, 9 KOs) i en åtte-runde super weltervekt bout taktrekket ShoBox: Den nye generasjonen tripleheader på Fredag, April 10 fra Aviator Sport og Events Center i Brooklyn, N.Y., leve på SHOWTIME (10 pm. OG/PT, forsinket på vestkysten).

 

Galarza, regnes av mange som "The Brooklyn Rocky," fortsetter å gjøre opp for tapt tid. Hans sjokkerende andre-runde knockout seier over favoriserte John Thompson på sin ShoBox: Den nye generasjonendebut, was one of the most memorable knockouts of the year. Galarza has been on a tear since.

 

"Galarza var et tilfeldig funn ved ShoBox,'' Erkjent boksing historiker og ShoBox ekspert analytiker Steve Farhood. "Siden han opprørt Thompson, han har vunnet fire ganger, og så bedre hver gang. Nivået på sin motstand ikke tillater ham å bli kalt en kandidat ennå, men han har gjort store fremskritt. Jeg vil tro på alder 29 han ville prøve å gjøre dette til et gjennombruddsår for ham. "

 

Den Galarza-Moore bout er en av tre planlagte åtte allsidige på en telecast som har en distinkt Brooklyn smak til det. Ubeseiret power-punching mellomvekt Ievgen "Den ukrainske Lion" Khytrov (9-0, 9 KOs) og stall, blue-chip super mellomvekt prospektet Sergiy "The Tekniker" Derevyanchenko (4-0, 3 KOs / World Series of Boxing: 23-1, 7 KOs) også bor i Brooklyn.

For Galarza, hvem har snikende opp på verdensrankingen, den siste økningen kunne ikke kommet på et bedre tidspunkt. En fysisk sterk, aggressive boxer-puncher, Galarza fikk en sen start i boksing og hadde bare 11 amatør kamper.

 

"Tiden for meg er definitivt nå,'' Sa han. "Min første ShoBox kjempe sette plattformen for meg. Jeg hadde ikke bare vinne en kamp som absolutt ingen trodde jeg kunne, Jeg vant det i stor stil. Jeg laget en uttalelse. Jeg har fortsatt å vokse, og føler jeg har blitt bedre siden den kampen. Men jeg er her for å vise folk hva jeg alt om, fortsette å trene veldig hardt og bare ta det litt etter litt, en kamp om gangen.

 

"Det er spennende å kjempe i den tv-main event i min bakgård. Jeg har aldri vært mer motivert for en kamp. Jeg ønsker å takke SHOWTIME for å gi meg en mulighet til å kjempe videre ShoBox.''

 

Stil-messig, Galarza mener dette er en god matchup for ham. "Moore ser fysisk stor og sterk, tøff og sulten, og kommer til å kjempe,'' Sa han. "Han er aggressiv og det er den beste delen om det - det skal gjøre for en flott kamp. Jeg kan være aggressiv, også. Jeg vet at han kommer til å kjempe og alle vet jeg ikke beveger seg bakover, så jeg forventer fyrverkeri.

 

"Jeg kommer til å kjempe hver gang, spesielt på SHOWTIME, på ShoBox der de gir deg motstandere av god kaliber som forventes å sette på et show, og forventes å gjøre en god kamp.

 

"Det er i Brooklyn, min hjemby, og jeg ønsker å underholde folket. Dette er mitt show, min hjemkomst, og jeg vil forsvare min hjemmebane. Jeg har en jobb å gjøre på April 10, men etter at, de store navnene i divisjonen kommer til å bli tvunget til å forholde seg til meg. Jeg er 29 og legging alt på linjen. ''

 

I sin nyeste ShoBox utseende, Galarza vant en enstemmig åtte-runde avgjørelse i løpet av tidligere ubeseiret Sebastien Bouchard (8-0 går i) mai 16, 2014, av resultatet av 78-73 og 77-74 to ganger til tross for å ha et poeng trukket for en lav slag i siste runde.

 

Galarza motstander, 27-år gamle Moore, gjør sitt ShoBox debut og fjerde start i USA hvor han er 1-1-1. Han siste dukket opp i US-. i juni 2012.

"Dette er en stor mulighet for meg og min karriere, hendene ned dette er den største kampen i mitt liv,"Moore sa. "Det er et must-win kamp for meg. Jeg har sett noen av Galarza er kamper, og jeg er helt sikker på at jeg har det som trengs for å uroe ham i hans bakgård. Dette er en drøm som går i oppfyllelse for meg, kjemper på nasjonal TV, og jeg har tenkt på å vise boksing verden at jeg hører på elitenivå i denne divisjonen.

"Min stil er definitivt aggressiv. Jeg liker å gå ned min motstander. Galarza har gode bevegelser og god rekkevidde. Men denne kampen vil være den første kampen hvor jeg ikke trenger å jobbe på siden under forberedelse. Jeg er 100 prosent dedikert til sporten og satt til å gå den 10. april "

 

5-fot-10 Moore har vunnet sine to siste kamper, den siste på en første-runde knockout i løpet Janos Varga siste Desember. 20 i Belgia. Akkurat som Galarza, han fikk en sen start i boksing og hadde en begrenset amatør karriere (27 endene). Han gjorde kickboksing da han var 15, men hadde ikke sin første amatør kamp frem til fylte 19.

 

Khytrov (uttales HE-kostnader) var en fenomenal amatør med velig 500 amatør bouts. Han var den 2011 amatør verdensmester og en representant for Ukraina i 2012 OL.

 

Dette vil være hans andre opptreden på ShoBox. I sin debut på Jan. 9, han ødela den tidligere ubeseiret Maurice Louishomme, vinner av tredje runde TKO. Han lyste opp Louishomme med venstre hånd og uppercuts til kroppen, svimlende ham ved flere anledninger i en ensidig affære som ble stoppet på 0:24 i tredje runde.

 

Aggressiv, offensive-minded Khytrov har kjempet totalt 27 runder i ni starter, et gjennomsnitt på tre runder en kamp - og det inkluderer hans karriere-beste åttende runde TKO over alltid å-tøff puertoricanske Jorge Melendez mars 6.

 

"Ievgen [uttales YEV-gin, med en hard G] er så fan-vennlig en fighter som du finner, tar aldri en baklengs skritt, ser ut til å skade sin motstander med hvert eneste slag,'' Farhood sa. “After nine fights, han viser alle tegn på at han vil være en tittel utfordrer i et år-til-18 måneder. Hans siste, en stans i løpet av Jorge Melendez, var et dristig trekk å ta på en farlig og erfaren motstander og han tok ham ut, brøt ham ned. Hva som forteller meg?"

 

En av de beste utsiktene i boksing, 5-fot-11, 26-år gamle Khytrov har blitt flyttet på et mye raskere tempo enn de fleste andre prospekter på dette stadiet av karrieren. Han gjorde sin profesjonelle debut i en alder 25 i desember 2013 og kjempet seks ganger i 2014. Dette er hans tredje kamp av 2015. Alle hans kamper har vært i USA.

Khytrov, som flyttet til Brooklyn kort tid etter 2012 OL, er ivrige etter April 10 å ankomme. "Jeg er veldig glade for å være tilbake til ringen på April 10, spesielt er at kampen er i min adopterte hjem fra Brooklyn,'' Sa han. "Jeg ønsker å takke mine arrangører DiBella Underholdning og Fight Kampanjer Inc. og min leder Al Haymon for denne muligheten til å igjen vise frem mine ferdigheter på ShoBox.

"Jeg forventer en tøff kamp ut av Coley, som, som meg selv, har aldri blitt slått som en profesjonell. Vi visste at 2015 skulle bli et stort år for meg selv og min karriere, og jeg lover enda en spektakulær ytelse på April 10 som vi fortsetter å flytte opp i rekkene av min divisjon. "

Khytrov sammen hans stil til en av boksing er all-time storheter. “Jeg har en Roberto Duran stil. Jeg er en all-out bråkmaker,'' Sa han. "Jeg angriper kroppen. Jeg elsker TV-rampelyset. ''

 

Coley er en venstre-hander og toårige pro som tar en enorm steg opp i denne kampen, hans ShoBox og åtte-runde debut. Et prospekt på 160 pounds - han flyttet opp fra junior mellomvekt divisjon i sin siste kamp - han iscoming av den sjette knockout av sin karriere, en femte-runde KO løpet Loren Myers den okt. 11, 2014.

 

"Jeg er veldig begeistret for utstillingsvindu mine ferdigheter på en plattform som SHOWTIME,'' Sa den alltid godt kondisjonerte Coley, som aldri har blitt slått ned som en proff eller amatør. "Jeg har sett Khytrov kampen. Fra hvordan det ser ut, han er en skikkelig fighter. Jeg tror ikke det er noe spesielt med ham. Han er ganske grei, en østeuropeisk dude som bare kommer inn og bruker lite vinkler. Han er en hard puncher med god effekt, men jeg vet ikke gutta han har slåss.

 

"Litt Til, du kan ikke skade hva du ikke kan treffe. "

 

En smidig bokseren som nå jobber ut fra Virgil Hunter'S gym i Nord-California, Coley gjør sin andre start for ny trener Eddie Croft.Han hadde levd og trening i Las Vegas. Han gikk 8-0 i starten av en pro karriere som begynte i april 2012.

 

Angående hans kallenavn, Coley sa, "Min far eier en skrapmetall virksomhet."

 

Derevyanchenko (uttales der-du-van-CHENK-oh), som gjør sittShoBox debut, har utseendet av en "ikke-glipp" kandidat. Ett skritt videre, mange forventer hans oppstigning på verdensrankingen for å være intet mindre enn meteor. Han er i dag rangert Nei. 12 i IBF, Do Not. 25 i WBC.

 

"Jeg er veldig spent på min første kamp på amerikansk TV,'' Sa han. "Dette vil være min første gang vises på ShoBox og jeg er helt begeistret. Dette er min kommer ut fest. Jeg forbereder dag og natt, og jeg er klar til å vise frem mine ferdigheter til verden. Jeg er klar til å vise dem "teknikeren. '

 

"Min stil er veldig teknisk, men når jeg finne min motstander ut, Jeg angriper viciously. Med hardt arbeid og et godt team bak meg, Jeg vil bli en verdensmester i min divisjon. Det er ingen tvil i min sjel. "

 

En eksepsjonell amatør, 5-fot-7 Derevyanchenko utarbeidet en utrolig rekord på 390-20 samtidig som representerer hjemlandet Ukraina på 2008 OL. Ett år før, han vant bronsemedalje på 2007 Amatør-VM.

 

Dette vil være Derevyanchenko femte start på rad utenfor World Series Of Boxing der han gikk 23-1. Han var den 2012 WSB-teamet Champion og 2011 og 2012 WSB Individuell Champion. Han kjempet i WSB fra november 2010 til april 2014.

 

Derevyanchenko vant sin første kamp utenfor WSB på en andre-runde TKO i løpet Cromwell Gordon juli 23, 2014. I sin siste start denne fortidFebruar. 20, han scoret et ensidig andre-runde TKO i løpet Regjeringen Biosse.

 

Som for hans motstander, Derevyanchenko sa, "Campa er en god fighter - høy, sterk. Han ser holdbar, en solid motstander. ''

 

Campa gjør sitt ShoBox debut på April 10 og det blir hans første kamp utenfor Mexico. Han har vunnet fire på rad, tre etter knockout. Han slått ut Christian Chavez i andre runde i hans siste utflukt sistDesember. 6.

Den 6-fot-1, 23-år gamle tar en gigantisk sprang i klassen og oddsene er mot ham, men ingen av som teller for ham en gang åpningen klokken lyder.

“I am very excited to finally make my dream a reality and fight in the United States,'' Sa han. "Dette er bare den muligheten som jeg har trent og kjempet for de siste fem årene. Jeg er allsidig; Jeg kan kjempe aggressivt eller boksen og flytte.

“Many promising young prospects got their start on ShoBox og fortsatte med å vinne verdensmesterskap. På April 10, Alan Campa vil starte banet veien for å bli med på listen over ShoBox verdensmestere.

"Jeg har trent veldig hardt. Jeg vet at jeg kan vinne denne kampen. "

Campa hadde også en sterk amatør bakgrunn (182-6). Før du slår pro i september 2010, han var en fem-tiden Sonoran state mester, en fem-tiden regional mester, og en fire-tiden nasjonal mester. Han var også den gullvinner på 2010 Pan American Youth Championships på 165 pounds.
