Perennial 118-lb contender Stephon “Showstopper” Young is finishing up his 13-week training camp in Miami while wondering if his opponent knows what he’s truly in for next week.

Дээр Баасан, Гуравдугаар 23, in the Hard Rock Event Center at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, FLA., WBA #4-rated Young (17-0-3, 7 Kos) from St. Louis will face WBA #5 Reymart “GenSan Assassin” Gaballo (18-0, 16 Kos) from General Santos City, Филиппин, in a 12-round battle for the WBA Interim World Bantamweight Championship.

Young vs. Gaballo headlines promoter Kris Lawrence and The Heavyweight Factory’s “Rumble at the Rock,” an 11-bout night of world-class professional boxing. In the 10-round co-main, former WBA Super World Bantamweight Champion Juan Carlos Payano (19-1, 9 Kos) дээр авдаг “Magic” Mike Plania (14-0, 7 Kos) from General Santos City, Филиппин.

29-year-old southpaw Young says that while Gaballo obviously has some strength to have such a high KO percentage, he is too green to be in the ring with a fighter at his level and experience.

“Шударга байх, Би түүнээс юу ч авч, but they should have stepped him up with a different opponent first and not thrown him in with a guy like me,” Залуу байна. “I feel he’s not ready yet and that will show Ирэх баасан гаригт. He should have had two or three more fights, but I feel like just because it’s for a title, they are rushing toward it. It’s a good opportunity for him, but they’re not thinking enough about what’s going to happen to him. I will be bringing everything I’ve got that night.”

Залуу, who still lives in St. Louis but travels to Miami for camp, says coming up the hard way in boxing and then meeting up with his current team will make all the difference Ирэх баасан гаригт.

“When I turned pro, I didn’t get signed right off the bat with a big-time promoter,” гэж тэр хэлэв. “I went and fought in people’s backyards and proved myself. I was given nothing, but I knew my time would come. I stayed focused and continued to train. I’ve been with my coach, Herman Caicedo, now for two years and I’m a totally different fighter. Би багийг талархал илэрхийлье, my promoter Kris Lawrence and The Heavyweight Factory for giving me this opportunity, my manager Henry Rivalta for always believing in me and my coach Herman Caicedo for getting me in the best shape I’ve ever been.”

For Young, lifting the belt over his head Ирэх баасан гаригт will be a dream come true.

“Энэ тэмцлийг авсан бүх зүйл гэсэн үг. It’s a big accomplishment and nothing can keep me from my dreams. Дээр Гуравдугаар 23, I will be champion.”
