HOUSTON, TEXAS (Pebrero 12, 2015) – Gary Shaw Productions ug Savarese Promotions malipay sa pagpahibalo sa ilang mga unyon sa pagpalambo sa usa sa labing talented ug sa pag-abut nga kaugmaon diha sa kahayag heavyweight division, Medzhid Bektemir (14-0, 11 KOs). A devastating puncher with power in both hands, Bektemirov usab nakaangkon speed ug kaabtik, naghimo kaniya nga usa sa labing naghisgot bahin sa manggugubat sa Russia.
Natawo sa Makhachkala, Russia, Bektemirov, karon nagpuyo sa USA, diin siya nagbansay uban sa Ronnie Shields sa “Pagkamanggiulawon” sa Stafford, Texas. A hard worker who practically lives in the gym, Medzhid mokaon, nagakatulog ug nagaginhawa boxing.
“Ako kaninyo karon, Medzhid Bektemirov mao ang usa sa labing talented manggugubat akong nakita sa usa ka samtang,” miingon Gary Shaw. “He has the rare combination of speed and power. I’m talking destructive power coming from both hands. His hooks are deadly and his fast feet are amazing. I’m going to go out on a limb and say Bektemirov could be the next great fighter to come out of Russia. I have the greatest amount of respect for Gennady Golovkin ug Madaniyah Kovalev, both are great champions. Golovkin is a very special fighter and if Bektemirov can reach his level, then we’ll have something special as well. I believe Bektemirov will be looking to face Kovalev in the not so distant future.”
Sa lamang ang iyang ika-12 nga away, Bektemirov nadakpan sa WBC United States (USNBC) kahayag heavyweight title uban sa usa ka malupigon performance batok sa Randy Griffin (25-4-3, 13 KOs), winning a lopsided twelve-round unanimous decision. Having gone twelve rounds in a professional bout already, Medzhid Bektemir, napamatud-an nga siya moadto sa gilay-on kon gikinahanglan.
“Sa 2015 Medzhid Bektemirov mohimo sa iyang atubangan nga nailhan sa tanan diha sa kahayag-heavyweight division.”Lou Savarese miingon. “This kid reminds me of Mike Tyson with his heavy hands and tremendous speed. I’ve been in the ring with Tyson and I’m confident when I say Bektemirov reminds me a lot like Mike. Gary and I are going to put tremendous amount promoting Medzhid. He will become a household name very soon and we are gunning for that world title.”
“Bulahan kaayo ako nga nga gipasiugda sa Gary Shaw ug Lou Savarese nga na sa boxing alang sa daghang mga tuig,” Medzhid Bektemir miingon. “I’ve come a long way from Russia to pursue my dream of becoming a champion. I love to fight and I get great enjoyment when I knockout my opponent. In every bout, I’m always going to be looking to end the fight early. The fans want to see knockouts and that is my specialty.”
