Promoter Dmitriy Salita proudly announces his latest installment of “Detroitin tappelu,” Lauantai night at the Masonic Temple, was a tremendous success, helping him donate over 3000 meals to Forgotten Harvest, one of the nation’s largest food rescue organizations.
In the night’s main event, WBO #5, IBF #5, ja WBC #7 and current NABF heavyweight champion, Andy “Tuhoaja Mexicalista” Ruiz (28-0, 19 KOs), stayed unbeaten and showed off some fast, powerful fists, as he stopped Miami’s Josh “Dempsey” Gormley at 1:42 Kolmannen kierroksen.
Muissa toiminta, super lightweight Girorgi Gelashvili (5-0, 3 KOs) survived an early knockdown to stop Eric Hall (8-10-1, 4 KOs) Durandista, Michigan, in four rounds; cruiserweight Demetrius Banks (8-0, 4 KOs) of Detroit dropped Eric George (4-12) of Niagara Falls in the first round, but ended up having to settle for a unanimous six-round decision victory; superpainoinen Zach Shamoun (4-0-1, 3 KOs) Royal Oakista, Michigan, took a four-round unanimous decision over Jose Elizondo (1-1) San Antonio, Texas; welterweight Sedar Hudayberdiyev (3-0, 2 KOs) of Turkmenistan won an entertaining four-round unanimous decision over formerly undefeated Steven Andrade (3-1, 2 KOs) of Atlanta Georgia; Detroit bantamweight Jarico O’Quinn (2-0, 2 KOs) was impressive in stopping Sergio Aguliar (0-4) of Miami Beach in three rounds; and lastly, Dearborn welterweight Gheith “Etelätassun prinssi” Karim made his pro debut a successful one by stopping Dean Walsh, Jr., ensimmäisellä kierroksella.
Sana, who donated a portion of every ticket sold to Forgotten Harvest, says the event’s success went a lot further than the boxing ring that night.
“When we started these events, the goal was not only to bring a regular professional boxing program back to Detroit, but also to give back to this wonderful city and I’m happy to say we’re doing it,” Said Word. “I couldn’t be more proud. Thank you to the fans who came out that night and to my wonderful sponsor, Thomas Magee’s. Thank you to my entire team and to all the fighters for their brave efforts. Thank you to the team at the Masonic and to all the big-name Detroit fighters who showed up in support of the event. We will be doing it again soon.”
Perustuu Oak Parkiin, Michigan, Forgotten Harvest perustettiin vuonna 1990 nälän lievittämiseksi ja ruokahävikin estämiseksi koko Detroitin metroalueella. Unohtunut sato “pelastettu” yli 40 miljoonaa puntaa ruokaa viime vuonna keräämällä ylijäämävalmisteita ja pilaantuvia ruokia yli 800 sijainnit, mukaan lukien ruokakaupat, hedelmä- ja vihannesmarkkinat, ravintolat, pitopalvelut, meijerit, maanviljelijät, elintarvikkeiden tukkujakelijat ja muut terveysministeriön hyväksymät lähteet.
Tämä lahjoitti ruokaa, joka muuten menisi hukkaan, toimitetaan veloituksetta osoitteeseen 280 hätäruoan tarjoajat Detroitin metron alueella. Charity Navigator on luokitellut Forgotten Harvestin neljän tähden hyväntekeväisyysjärjestöksi yhdeksännä peräkkäisenä vuonna.
