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 onשאָבאָקס: די ניו גענעראַטיאָן.

מענאַרד, 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 שאָבאָקס debut at Turning Stone Casino & Resort last אַפּריל 15 delivering an impressive Knockout of the Year candidate over previously undefeated Dominican Eudy Bernardo with a vicious one-punch knockout. ווידעא: http://s.sho.com/1NtEYjW

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, but he had no answer for Menard’s power. With less than one minute left in third, Menard connected with a huge right, knocking Bernardo out before he even hit the canvas.

Mamadjonov (19-2, 11 קאָס), has been matched against very tough opposition throughout his career. His only blemishes were to opponents with a combined record of 46-0 (38 קאָס) – Colombian דאַרלייס פּערעז in Aug., 2012 and Ghana’s Richard Commey in April of last year. Perez went on to become interim WBA Lightweight World Champion and recently lost a rematch against world champion אַנטאַני קראָללאַ. Commey is set to fight ראבערט יסטער דזשוניער. for the vacant IBF World Lightweight Title on זיבן. 9.

This is Mamadjonov’s third start since losing to Commey and his secondשאָבאָקס אויסזען. אין זיין שאָבאָקס debut in April, 2013 אין לאַס וועגאַס, נעוו., Mamadjonov scored an upset ninth-round stoppage (:51) against previously unbeaten Cuban prospect Angelo Santana. ווידעא:http://s.sho.com/2aPfkwp

Nieves vs. סאַנטיאַגאָ

Also featured in the Aug. 19 quadrupleheader are WBO NABO Bantamweight Champion Antonio Nieves and his new foe, Alejandro “Peque” Santiago

Nieves, (16-0-1, 8 קאָס), a prospect at 118 פונט, has stayed active with five fights in 2014, five in 2015, and is fighting for the third time this year. The 29-year-old is coming off his first 10-round performance, a unanimous decision over then once-beaten אָסקאַר מאָדזשיקאַ אויף יוני 18 אין וואַשינגטאָן, פּאַ. A win against Santiago will put Nieves a step closer to his goal of challenging fellow Ohio-native WBA Super Bantamweight Champion ראַו'שעע וואָראַן.

סאַנטיאַגאָ, (11-2-1, 3 קאָס), פון טידזשואַנאַ, באַדזשאַ קאַליפאָרניאַ, מעקסיקא, is a three-year pro who seldom breaks training camp between fights. He has won three fights in a row since his last loss in November 2014 to fellow Mexican Hector Flores. אין זיין לעצטע קאַמף אויף פעברואר. 27, Santiago won an eight-round unanimous decision over Mario Lara. This will be his United States debut and the first time he’s fought north of 116 פונט.
