CORONA, Californias. (November. 4, 2016) - Tares “The Real Deal Shelestyuk maintained an unbeaten record and continued his ascent in the welterweight division with a close, unanimous 10-round decision over his toughest opponent to date, Jimmy “The Truth” Herrera sisse Reedene main event of a ShoBox: New Generation tripleheader elada Showtime from the outdoor Omega tooted Event Center Corona, Californias.

 

Shelestyuk (15-0, 9 Kos), the 2012 Olympic Games Bronze Medalist for Ukraine, was victorious by the scores of 96-93 kaks korda ja 95-94. Despite a gutsy, gritty performance, Herrera (15-4-1, 8 Kos), Chicago, Ill., had a three-fight winning streak end. There were no knockdowns.

 

In a rough and tumble, bloody collision of undefeated cruiserweights in the co-feature, Vasakukäeline Constantin Bejenaru (12-0, 4 Kos, 0-1-1 in World Series of Boxing), Catskillist, NY. Moldova teel, survived a knockdown and several unintentional head butts to register a unanimous 10-round decision over Steve Bujaj (16-1-1, 11 Kos), New York.

 

Kohalik fänn lemmik Manuel “La Tormenta” Mendez (13-1-2, 9 Kos), Indio, Californias., registered an impressive one-punch, 2:32 first round knockout over previously undefeated Vitor Jones Freitas (12-1, 1 ND, 6 Kos), Salvadorist, Bahia, Brasiilia, in a scheduled eight-round bout that opened the telecast.

 

Southpaw Shelestyuk, who entered the ring ranked No. 9 in the WBO and No. 13 in WBA, turned back a determined bid by Herrera to win despite getting docked a point for excessive holding in the fifth round.

 

"See oli karm võitlus,’’ Shelestyuk. “He is a tough fighter, he is slow but he worked well. Esimeses voorus, I did well but my legs went on me. I think it was because I did not sleep well.

 

“After five rounds I started to find my rhythm. I started boxing him. I made some mistakes in there like pulling straight back. This fight will make me better. Nagu ma ütlesin, he was tough but nothing special. When my legs went, I started to work inside. I beat him good in the last round and if there was 30 seconds more, I could have stopped him.

 

“I am looking forward to being more active in 2017. I will take two or three weeks off and be right back in the gym.’’

 

“The Truth” hurts and Herrera had more than his fair share of moments in a tight fight. Herrera, proff alates detsembrist 2009, figured to be a legitimate test for Shelestyuk and he was. But Taras was more active (maandumine 169 kohta 689 löögid, compared to Herrera’s 130 kohta 460). Each connected 28 protsenti ajast.

 

Herrera, who had defeated undefeated prospects in four of previous nine fights, was not happy with the verdict. “It was a good fight. There is not much that I can say. I thought it was closer than the scores indicated. I had fun in there and I give him credit. He was everything I expected. He is a smart fighter.’’

 

“I would live to be a test dummy for all these young prospects. I thought it could have been a draw, but the people who saw it on TV can have their opinion.’’

 

Making his second ShoBox algus, Bejenaru triumphed by the scores of 97-91 on the three judges’ scorecards. The lefthander went down from a clean, counter left hook to the chin in the fifth and got the worse of the unintentional head butts but appeared to outhustle and outfight a reluctant Bujaj most of the way.

 

A short cruiserweight with an awkward, herky-jerky style Bejenaru pressed the issue throughout and was much more active, throwing more than 100 more punches than Bujaj (454-336) and averaged 45 punches thrown per round compared to 38 for Bujaj.

 

“He’s a dirty fighter,’’ said Bejenaru after a match in which he suffered a bad cut over his left eye and a big welt on his overhead. “You look at all his fights, all he does is lead with his head. I was affected by his head butts but there was no way I was going to stop. He complains a lot, but all he did was foul. It felt to me like he bit me on the left ear after… that’s how he fights.

 

“The sport is boxing, not swimming and he flails his punches like a swimmer, a street fighter, not a pro fighter. He caught me with a clean shot on the knockdown but I got right up and wasn’t hurt.

 

“This win is a big step in my career. It will help me continue to rise me up in the rankings on my way to a title shot.’’

 

Bujaj, who was making his ShoBox debut, was livid afterward.

 

“Hell, jah, I’m mad,"Ütles ta. “The scoring was bad. I knew what I was getting into by fighting in his backyard, but I definitely thought I won. I knocked him down. He never hurt me.”

 

The aggressive-minded Mendez came out patiently and allowed Freitas to throw the majority of the early punches. Mendez’ first meaningful punch of the fight was a paralyzing left hook to the body that put Freitas down and writhing in pain.

 

“I was surprised he didn’t take that body shot well, said Mendez, is who is trained by Joel Diaz. “I knew I hurt him, but I thought he’d get up. I saw that he wasn’t covering up very well so I knew I was going to land one eventually.

 

“I was surprisingly nervous going into this fight. I was somewhat timid to start. I usually come out stronger, but it didn’t matter because we got the result that we wanted.

 

“I’m pumped for the knockout win. I know it didn’t last long, but I hope the TV audience enjoyed it.

 

Freitas controlled most of the round with his movement and sharper punching, but a savage hook to the bodyhis third connect to the bodyleft the Brazilian on the canvas long after the 10 count.

 

I messed up,’’ a tearful Jones Freitas said. “I paused at the wrong time and he hit me with the right punch. This means nothing to me. I’m going to keep working hard and training hard. Ma tahan mängime taas.”

FINAL QUOTES:

TARAS SHELESTYUK

 

“Herrera is a good fighter, a tough fighter. I know he has defeated some good fighters like Mike Jones, who was a top fighter who’d been off a couple years. But I’m 100 protsenti valmis. I expect a very tough and exciting fight but I expect to be much stronger and smarter.

 

“I’m excited for all the attention this fight and I are getting. I’ve always known that fans in America have known me but maybe now more than before. I think in the next year, I can become even more well-known.

 

“I’ve been working on strength and becoming more powerful. I think my boxing skills are already good, but my speed and power are better than before. I feel in sparring that I’m punching harder.

 

“I like to work the body. I like the fact you land enough of them early, they take a toll late. That’s one thing good about fighting as a pro. I feel good about my career; I hope to be fighting some of the best fighters in the division within a year.

 

“I’m sure Herrera will probably try and come at me; there’s no chance he can beat me at boxing. I like guys who come forward. They are good for me because I can counter and move side to side. And I’m ready to fight on the inside if necessary.

 

“I know I can improve on my last ShoBox võitlus. I made it closer than it should have been. If we had it over again I think I maybe stop him just because of what we’re been working on in the gym.

 

“Sparring with Shane Mosley has been huge for me. He’s such a great fighter. When I was younger, I’d watch his fights. Now we spar. He’s older but still very good. He knows all the tricks and gives me a lot of advice that helps me in and out of the ring. Everything he’s said to me, I’ve tried to apply.”

 

JIMMY HERRERA:

“I’ve been working a full two months for this fight so I’m ready. This is going to be a very good test for both of us, a great fight. He’s a good European boxer, another unbeaten for me. But I don’t feel like I’m coming in as the underdog at all. He’s got his strengths, I’ve got my strengths.

 

“There has to be a purpose for every punch. Each has to count. If he opens up and makes a mistake, I have to take advantage. I need to get him out of his rhythm early, force him out of his comfort zone and make him fight my fight.

 

“I’ll be the aggressor. But I’d love if he was the aggressor. I just think, kuigi, knowing him, he’s going to try to box and win the rounds that way. I work all the time coming forward and that’s what I’ll do homme.

 

“A kid from Chicago, like me, it’s hard to get anywhere in boxing without connections, so finally after fighting so long without a manager, I signed with Cameron Dunkin. I always knew I could be a good boxer, but never figured I’d be a boxer. But look at me know, I’m fighting on SHOWTIME and this fight couldn’t be coming along at a better time.”

 

CONSTANTIN BEJENARU:

“I feel your amateur career gives you a good foundation, like a beginner, but once you turn pro it’s a total different game. It doesn’t matter who has more experience as an amateur. As professionals, we all have to do our jobs here.

 

“I don’t know Bujaj, but I saw his fight with Junior Wright so I know he is tough.

 

“I feel this is a big step for me. Ta 16-0, a good fighter who can punch or box, and this is for a belt. This a good fight for both of us.

“I work hard for every fight and this was no exception. We know we have to pay attention to detail. This is a dangerous guy but I am very confident.

 

“I definitely don’t expect an easy fight. I have to press the action. I need to make him as uncomfortable as I can.

 

“I don’t have a lot of pro knockouts but boxing isn’t just about power. Boxing is intelligence and mental; it’s not just a street fight for me.

 

“This is my second fight on ShoBox. I’m so happy to be back again after that last win over Zubov. The goal is to keep busy, come back early next year and then sometime by next year be ready to fight for a major title of some type.’’

 

STEVE BUJAJ:

 

“I’m looking forward to this fight, my first on network TV, to see where I’m at. See, kuidas ma tunnen, I’ve got everything to win, everything to lose. This either pushes me to the next level, or I stay where I’m at.

 

“I’m ready for any kind of fight. I’m a versatile fighter and I will have the height advantage.

 

“I feel ready now for the bigger fights, the additional exposure on SHOWTIME, the ratings, the titles, kõik see. But I definitely will be even more after Reede.

 

“I don’t feel this is going 10 vooru. I feel I’ll break him down and eventually stop him. I feel I’ve got the skills and definitely the heart. I’m healthy and ready to go.

 

“I saw his last fight on ShoBox, and thought it was pretty decent. He’s pretty short for a cruiserweight. Although we’re both from New York, I’d never heard of him before.

 

“Camp went awesome with lots of sparring. In Las Vegas. I trained with Mayweather fighters like Ronald Gavril, Badou Jack and Caleb Plant. It’s been four years since I’ve fought a left-hander but I do not consider it factor.’’

 

VITOR JONES FREITAS:

“I thank God and both my uncles for helping me get to where I am, for teaching me and for guiding me in every step of my life and in boxing. Without their influence and what they’ve done for me since I was 11, I feel I’d be dead today.

 

“I’m very excited about this fight and the opportunity to fight better guys. This for me is all about taking advantage of the opportunity.

 

“I’m getting more and more experience. My goal is to work hard and, like my Uncle Acelino, make good fights and become a world champion“

 

“We’ve studied Mendez’ fighting style and have a lot of respect for his trainer, Joel Diaz. I know Mendez is very strong and comes forward. I don’t know if he likes it when his opponents attack from the sides but I’m ready to fight him on the sides, head-on and toe-to-toe.”

 

MANUEL MENDEZ:

 

“This is my ninth fight with Joel and we know each other very well. Through the bad and good, he’s been there for me.

 

“I’m sure Freitas has confidence in his ability but like any other undefeated fighter he does well until he hits the wall, which is what Joel wants me to make him do. He wants me to punish him, take my time.

 

“I feel have I have natural power, can take a punch and have heart. Hit me as much as you want, but watch out once I connect and turn things around. My goal always is to break them down, starting with the body.

 

“I may not have the pedigree of some of these guys, but I’m learning defense, how to pace myself, staying poised and most importantly, just how to fight. The more experience, the more mature you become.

 

"Homme I just want to be me and listen to Joel in the corner. I wouldn’t want to be standing in from of me. If he wants to stand and bang, teeme seda. I guarantee he’s the one going back after the first few moments.”

For Immediate Release
CORONA, Californias. (November. 2, 2016) — Undefeated ultra-confident cruiserweight Steve “Supermees” Bujaj (16-0-1, 11 Kos), of Westchester, NY, chimes in before his important 10-round bout with fellow unbeaten Constantin Bejenaru (11-0, 3 Kos, 0-1-1 in the World Series of Boxing), Brooklyn, NY, in the middle match of a ShoBox: The New Generation tripleheader this Reede, November. 4, from the Omega Products Event Center in Corona, Californias.
Bujaj (ilmekas “Boo-ha”), 26, has won four in a row, sealhulgas tema viimase kahe knockout, since boxing a split 10-round draw in a slugfest with then-undefeated three-time Chicago Golden Gloves champion Junior Wright (10-0) mais 2014. A two-time New York Golden Gloves champion, Bujah, who’ll be fighting on ShoBox the first time, is coming off a first-round TKO over previously undefeated Sergio Ramirez (11-0) edasi Juuni 11

Bejenaru (ilmekas “bay-zhin-nah-ROO”) is making his second ShoBox start. In his debut last Aprill 15, the native of Ungheni, Moldova, scored a unanimous eight-round decision over previously unbeaten Alexey Zubov (10-0), endine Venemaa amatöörmeister ja seitsmekordne Euroopa amatöörmeister. Southpaw Bejenaru boxed on the Romanian national team for 10 aastal ja oli üheksakordne riigi meister.

Here is What Bujaj said:

What do you know about Bejenaru and what are your thoughts going in?

I know he’s undefeated, 11-0 and a lefty, but I don’t believe he’s on my level. I think I’m a different class fighter and will be able to show it reedel.”

What kind of fight do you expect?

I don’t really have any expectations. When I get in there, I make my adjustments, and then I start breaking him down.

What is the key to winning? What are your advantages?

My best advantage is my experience. I’ve fought 10 vooru enne. This is his first time. I believe that I’m more skilled than he is, and I believe that I have more heart and just think I have the edge all around.

On fighting on ShoBox the first time?

I’m very excited and grateful for the opportunity that has been given me. I’m ready to go out and perform and show the world what I’m all aboutand that is being one of the top guys in the cruiserweight division.

Your opinion on the cruiserweight division?

The cruiserweight division is a good division with a lot of good fighters. I feel like it will get more exposure in the future because there are so many talented fighters and good fights that can happen. I’m looking forward to being a part some of the big fights and making some noise.

What would a win on ShoBox mean to you?

A win on SHOWTIME would be really huge, but mostly it would keep me going.

Are they making a mistake fighting you?

I don’t think he made a mistake, but I refuse to lose this fight. I’m gonna give it my all. He’s not on my level and I’m gonna prove it. I’m gonna fight my ass off.

On his slugfest with former world title challenger Wright?
I was winning the fight but I broke my jaw in the fourth round. I had a bad mouthpiece, a cheap one. I never knew mouthpieces needed to be fitted. The surgeon told me if I’d had a pro mouthpiece, I wouldn’t have had a problem.
I still believe anybody else would have quit in that fight. I was in a lot of pain, I couldn’t close my mouth because the jaw was broke, I was spitting out blood. But I hung in there despite the jaw.

I had him out on his feet in the last half-minute or so but the referee stopped the fight to give him time to tape up one of the laces on his glove. That gave him time to recover. If the ref hadn’t stopped it when he did, I feel I would have knocked him out.

On his career?

I had to work hard for my career. I don’t have a padded record. I do not have it as easy as most in their career. I don’t have a big-time promoter, and I’m not pampered. I’ve fought tough guys throughout my career but I’ve learned a lot and have no regrets. But I feel it’s time for me to step up. After I win Reede kohta ShoBox, a lot of doors should start opening up me.
New Nickname?

I’ve been known as ‘Superman’my whole career but I’m thinking of changing it toSteel.The Wright fight proved a lot of me, and I learned a lot. Ma ei saa loobuda. I’m very tough and strong-minded, made of ‘steel.'
Bujaj vs. Bejenaru is scheduled for 10 rounds and will be part of a ShoBox: The New Generation tripleheader live on SHOWTIME at 10:30 Pärastlõunal. JA/PT (hilinenud Läänerannikul).

ZUBOV: I CAME TO DETROIT TO BECOME CHAMPION

Russian cruiserweight is back in action on November 12 at the latest ‘Detroit Brawlat the Masonic Temple

Last April at the Turning Stone in Verona, New York, and with the ShoBox: The New Generation cameras rolling, Alexey Zubov admits he choked.

I was nervous. I never fought on a big show,” explained Zubov of the unanimous decision loss he suffered to Moldova’s Constantin Bejenaru. “It was such a huge step in my career and I felt frozen by nerves.
Fighters often make excuses when they lose, but with Zubov, there may be some validity. Normally a very active fighter with a high work rate, Zubov appeared listless and sluggish for eight uneventful rounds.
Life doesn’t always go the way you want. Losing that fight made me stronger. It was a good lesson for me and it was good for my experience to fight on that level. And now I know what it’s like. That will never happen again.
Zubov will continue his quest for another shot at the big time on Laupäev, November 12, at Salita Promotions’ “Detroit Brawlevent at the Masonic Temple in Downtown Detroit.
Sponsored by Thomas Magee’s Sporting House Whiskey Bar, piletid “Detroit Brawlwill be priced at VIP $123, Box Seats $100, Ringside $93, $63, $38, ja $28 and available at all Ticketmaster outlets andTicketmaster.com.
Originally from Magnitogorsk, Venemaa, Zubov says he’s enjoyed his last eight months living in Detroit and working with the late Emanuel Steward’s nephew Javan “Suhkur” Hill at the resurgent Kronk Gym.
I came to Detroit to become a champion. I want to show everyone that I’m a world-class cruiserweight and I want to show everyone all the things Javan has been teaching me. He is a great trainer and I have a very good relationship him.
When not in training, Zubov says he loves the challenge of adapting to a new culture, virtually alone.
I only miss my parents, but we talk everyday on Skype or Facetime and they support me all the way. I don’t have many Russian-speaking friends in Detroit. Most of the time, I practice my English to try and learn it well. Iga päev, I challenge myself to learn new words. I’ve always been like that. Just like my boxing skills. Every day I push myself to be better.
Zubov says in near-perfect English that he’d love the chance to settle some unfinished business.

I want a rematch with Bejenaru so bad. I can do so much better than that. I know I can. I will prove I can. I will not stop until I do.

Taras Shelestyuk (hääldatakse “TARE-as SHELL-es-võttis) keskmistatud 85 löögid ühe ringi kohta tema ShoBox debüüt mullu novembris, võitis muljetavaldava 10-voorulise ühehäälse otsuse Aslanbek Kozak. Oma viimases stardis ja üksildases väljasõidus sel aastal Mai 20, 5 jalga-10, 30-aastane Shelestyuk nokautis Erick Martinez kolmandas voorus Ontarios, Californias.

 

"Minu treeningud lähevad suurepäraselt, Olen võimsam ja kiirus on parem,” ütles endine rahvusvaheline silmapaistja. "Herrera on karm võitleja, kuid see pole minu jaoks oluline, sest ma tahan tõusta ja pääseda meistrivõistluste tasemele.

Paljud silmapaistvatest 2012 Ukraina olümpiameeskonnast sai professionaalidena otsene väljavaade, sealhulgas Lomachenko, kes võitis sulgkaalu maailmameistritiitli vaid oma kolmandas võitluses saates SHOWTIME. Nüüd, on Shelestyuki kord taldriku juurde astuda.

 

"Ma järgin 2012 Ukraina olümpiameeskond, ja kõigil poistel läheb väga hästi ja mul on nende üle hea meel,“ ütles Shelestyuk, kes läks 300-15 in amatöörid. "Kuid ma ei võrdle oma tulemusi kellegi teisega, sest mul on oma karjäär ja oma tee meistrivööni, ja ma naudin seda reisi."
Herrera, proff alates detsembrist 2009, näib olevat Shelestyuki jaoks õigustatud proovikivi. Herrera on kolm võitu järjest, alistas kaotuseta väljavaateid neljas viimasest üheksast võitlusest, ja on 8-1-1 üldiselt alates otsuse langetamisest Adrian Granados sisse 2012.

"Taras on suurepärane võitleja ja ma tean, et olen allajääja, kuid olen varem üllatanud mõnda võitlejat ning olen enesekindel ja valmis endast maksimumi andma ja uuesti võitma,"ütles Herrera. "Ma tulen sellesse võitlusse sama mentaliteediga, mis mul oli nendes võitlustes teiste võitmatute meeste vastu. See, kuidas ma seda näen, Tarasel on kõik kaotada ja ma võitlen nagu mul pole midagi kaotada.''

 

"Olen väga tõsiselt treeninud ja olen põnevil, et saan oma oskusi televisioonis näidata. Ma kasvasin üles vaadates ShoBox. Mind jälgitakse rohkem ja nad näevad minu võitlusvõimet. Võitmine tõstab mu edetabelit ja avab karjäärile rohkem uksi.

"Mehena, kes on poksinud üle pika aja 22 aastat, Olen ülimalt tänulik, et mulle see võimalus anti. Minu eelmises ShoBox võitlus, Mind tembeldati allajääjaks. Need, kes minus kahtlesid, muutsid kiiresti oma arvamust, kui nägid mind võitlemas, ja veelgi enam, kui kohtunik tõstis mu käe võidu.’’

 

Bujaj (hääldatakse "Boo-ha") sündis Kelmendis, Albaania, kuid kolis Bronxi, New York varakult. Võitmatu väljavaade oli kahekordne raskekaalu New Yorgi kuldkinnaste tšempion, kes on alati loodud headeks võitlusteks ja muutis selle enamasti lihtsaks.. See on Bujaji kolmas plaanitud 10-ringiline start, Samal ajal kui Bejenaru teeb oma 10 vooru debüüdi.

 

26-aastane mees on võitnud oma neli viimast järjest, sealhulgas tema viimase kahe knockout, pärast seda, kui poksis slugfestil 10-raundilise viiki tollal alistamatu kolmekordse Chicago Kuldkinnaste meistriga Junior Wright (10-0) mais 2014.

 

"Ma valmistun,’’ ütles Bujah, kes saab esimese ringi TKO-st, võrreldes varem võitmatuga Sergio Ramirez (11-0) edasi Juuni 11. "Ma treenin nii, nagu see oleks maailmameistrivõistlus, ja ma olen täiesti valmis võitma. Ma tean, et mu vastane on võitmatu ja ma ei saa temast mööda vaadata. See, kuidas ma tunnen, Olen oma A-mängus. Treenisin Las Vegases ja nüüd olen tagasi New Yorgis koos Sharif Younaniga ning olen valmis tegema kõik endast oleneva, et see võitlus võita.

 

"See on kokkupuude ja võimalus, mida olen oodanud. Ma tahan lihtsalt üles korjata need WBC tiitlid, mille eest me võitleme, ja saada edetabelis ülespoole. Kord võtan need vööd kätte, Ma olen tipus 10 ja kõik on võimalik.''

VERONA, NY. (Aprill 15, 2016) – Undefeated bantamweight prospects Nikolai Potapov ja Stephon Young fought to a majority draw in theShoBox: New Generation Põhiturniiri Reede on SHOWTIME from Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, NY.

 

The bout was scored 96-94 Potapov and 95-95 kaks korda.

 

Potapov and Young were facing their toughest opponents in each other. Potapov (14-0-1, 6 Kos) controlled the pace early with his jab and was the more active fighter, throwing nearly double the punches that Young threw. Young picked up steam and gained confidence in the middle rounds and was at his best when he pressed the action and let his hands go. But the Russian Potapov, who had gone at least 10 rounds in his last six fights, was clearly more comfortable as the fight progressed.

 

After slowing in the seventh and eighth, Noor (14-0-3, 6 Kos) found another gear in an impressive ninth, winning the penultimate round on all the judges’ scorecards. Kuid, even after urgent instructions from his corner, Young couldn’t carry the momentum into the 10th and lost the final round on all three scorecards.

 

“I am very unhappy with the decision. For every time he hit me, I hit him twice,” said Potapov, kes viskasid 315 jabs compared to just 113 for Young. “I was the much busier fighter. I don’t know what fight the judges were watching. At the very most I lost four rounds.

 

“I’ve never had a draw before. I feel cheated from a win. I was very happy to be fighting in America but I now feel cheated.”

 

Pärast võitlust, St. Louis native Young was disappointed but knew that he needed to throw more punches.

 

“I feel like it was a good fight, but I should have got the decision,” Young said. “I hurt him every time I hit him. I let him be busier than me, but as far as the contact, I feel like I landed the more effective punches. That was my strategy.

 

“I should have come on a bit sooner. That was my plan, but I got a little relaxed in the fight. I came on in the ninth round when my coach told me to get him out of there.

 

“I most definitely want a rematch. I would like to do that again.”

Facing his toughest opponent to date, Menard floored (31-1, 23 Kos) Bernardo for the first time in his career with a series of rights near the end of the second round. The Dominican Bernardo beat the count and finished the round, but he had no answer for Menard’s power. Less than one minute into third, Menard connected with a huge right, knocking Bernardo (21-1, 15 Kos) out before he even hit the canvas.

 

“I made a statement täna õhtul. Not many people knew who I was going into this, but they know me now,” said Menard, who landed nearly 50 protsenti oma võimu kaadrid. “My speed, power and footwork were the difference.

 

“I said a prayer for him in the middle of the ring that he goes back to his family healthy.”

 

Bernardo, who was removed from the ring on a stretcher as a precautionary measure, was taken to nearby Oneida Healthcare where he was awake and responsive.

 

Menetluse algatamise hooaeg telesaade, undefeated cruiserweightConstantin Bejenaru handed Aleksei Zubov the first loss of his career in a convincing eight-round unanimous decision scored 77-74, 78-73 kaks korda.

 

Save for a flash seventh round knockdown, Bejenaru (11-0, 4 Kos) controlled the fight from the outset. The Moldova native overcame a four-inch height disadvantage, attacking from different angles and controlling the exchanges on the inside and outside. Zubov (10-1, 6 Kos) never got into rhythm and failed to capitalize on his reach advantage against the active and athletic southpaw.

 

“He was a good classical boxer, but he’s too straight up and he couldn’t adjust,” Bejenaru said. “It wasn’t as easy as it looked to beat him. I adjusted my style to do that because I knew it would make him hesitate. I knew if I just constantly attacked him he wouldn’t know what to do.”

 

Zubov and Bernardo are now the 146th ja 147th boxers to suffer their first pro loss on the prospect developmental series.

Alexey is able to learn a lot and absorb boxing knowledge easily,” said Hill. “He barely speaks English and yet he soaks it in. It’s amazing. I brought him in to spar with Banks and when we were training, Alexey just sat on the side and watched. Pärast, he was sparring with Johnathon and I told him to stop. I said ‘listen here. I’m training Jonathon Banks and you’re doing everything I told him to do. What’s wrong with you?’ Then I laughed and said ‘I like that. Keep watching. I’ll teach you everything you want to know.’ “
Hill says this camp with Zubov was a transition for the fighter. “We are moving into the championship level where you train for a specific fighter. A lot of it is strategy and planning. The only thing I worry about is him being too excited. He’s very high-strung and wants to prove things. I have to control him and keep him from getting over-excited. That’s what we’ve been working on. He gets antsy when he’s excited.
Training was prefect. Ma olen 100 protsenti valmis,” said Zubov. “I know Bejenaru is a southpaw and he is a short guy with a good record. It’s my first time on SHOWTIME and I am so happy to be showing the world what I can do.
