Sampson Boxing Fighters Score Four Impressive KOs in One Weekend
Promoter Sampson Lewkowicz has been given the go-ahead to begin negotiating a world-title fight between his fighter, explosive KO punching Dominican Jonathan Guzman, and the promoters for Japan’s Shingo Wake.
As per their rules for vacant championships, Левкович, representing Guzman, the IBF #2 легчайший вес, and Kyoei Promotions representing IBF #1 Wake were ordered to begin negotiations immediately and have them completed no later than Июнь 2 в этом году.
Гусман (21-0, 21 КО) is hot on the heels of a sensational eight-round stoppage victory over Daniel Rosas last Friday, Апреля 29, в Атлантик-Сити, in a voluntary eliminator for the #2 spot in the ratings.
Wake (20-4-2, 12 КО) earned his number one spot by scoring a unanimous decision victory over Thailand’s Mike Tawatchai last June.
Also per IBF rules neither boxer may compete in another match until they face each other.
“Any boxer who is contracted with a promoter, a network, or a state, tribal or national commission to take another fight, or who is ill, injured, under a legal impediment which could prevent the bout from taking place in the opinion of the IBF/USBA, or on suspension at the time the Championships Chairman and the President order a bout under this rule shall be considered unavailable. We would then move to the next available contender. Neither fighter can take another fight until this fight for the vacant title is concluded.”
In the event the camps cannot reach an agreement by Июнь 2, the IBF will call for purse offers to be held to determine who will promote the bout, when and where it will be held.
The Guzman vs. Wake fight is more good news for Sampson Boxing, who had four different fighters score sensational victories over the weekend.
In addition to the aforementioned Guzman TKO, Sampson Boxing’s Jorge “Пестик” Lara scored a jaw-dropping KO 1 over former world champion Fernando Montiel at the StubHub Center in Carson, Калифорния, в субботу. Lara had the formidable Montiel on the deck four times in a brutal beatdown that only lasted 1:37.
The same night in the same venue, future world champion and boxing prodigy David “El Bandera Roja/Red Flag” Benavidez destroyed capable New Yorker Phillip Jackson Benson by KO 2. Бенавидес, сейчас 14-0, 13 КО, had way too much firepower for Jackson, who entered the ring a respectable 16-2, 15 КО. Конец наступил в 2:07 with Jackson down and ruled unable to continue without a count being needed. A star on the near horizon in boxing, high network demand means that Benavidez will be back in action in July.
And in his professional debut в пятницу ночь, on the Guzman undercard in Atlantic City, highly decorated amateur star Abraham “Супер” Nova turned professional the right way by levelling Delaware’s also debuting Weusi Johnson by KO 1.
Новая звезда, из Брейнтри, Массачусетс, began his professional career undefeated by putting Weusi to sleep at 2:56 из первых.
“I am looking forward to getting my superstar KO artist Jonathan Guzman his first title shot later this year,” Саид Сэмпсон Левкович. “And I give my congratulations to all my other fighters who won by knockout this past weekend. Jorge Lara is back in a big way and headed for a world championship after beating Montiel. David Benavidez is going to become the youngest Mexican super middleweight champion in boxing history and Abraham Nova let the world know he’s here with his power punching. I am proud to be promoting every one of these fighters.”
