Menard vs. Mamadjonov
The co-main event features promising Louisiana lightweight “Rock Hard Mighty” Mason Menard facing his toughest test to date in Bahodir “Baha” Mamadjonov of Houston, Texas by way of Uzbekistan for the WBO NABO Lightweight Title. Both fighters are making their second appearance onShoBox: نسل جدید.
منارد, an eight-year pro at the age of 27, is fighting outside of his native Louisiana for only the second time. He’s is ranked among the Top 15 fighters at 135 pounds in the WBA and WBO. In the most noteworthy victory of his career, he made his ShoBox debut at Turning Stone Casino & Resort last آوریل 15 delivering an impressive Knockout of the Year candidate over previously undefeated Dominican اودی برناردو with a vicious one-punch knockout.

Menard floored Bernardo for the first time in his career with a series of rights near the end of the second round. Bernardo beat the count and finished the round, اما او پاسخی برای قدرت منارد نداشت. With less than one minute left in third, منارد با یک حق بزرگ ارتباط برقرار کرد, knocking Bernardo out before he even hit the canvas.
Mamadjonov (19-2, 11 کوس), has been matched against very tough opposition throughout his career. His only blemishes were to opponents with a combined record of 46-0 (38 کوس) – کلمبیایی Darleys پرز in Aug., 2012 and Ghana’s ریچارد کمی in April of last year. Perez went on to become interim WBA Lightweight World Champion and recently lost a rematch against world champion آنتونی Crolla. Commey is set to fight رابرت جونیور عید پاک. for the vacant IBF World Lightweight Title on هفت. 9.
This is Mamadjonov’s third start since losing to Commey and his secondShoBox ظاهر. در خود ShoBox اولین در آوریل, 2013 در لاس وگاس, NEV., Mamadjonov scored an upset ninth-round stoppage (:51) against previously unbeaten Cuban prospect Angelo Santana. VIDEO:HTTP://s.sho.com/2aPfkwp
