LAS VEGAS (Sete. 8, 2017) – At 20 anos, 9 months old, David Benavidez became boxing’s youngest world champion – and the youngest ever in the super middleweight division – with a split decision victory over Ronald Gavril na sexta-feira night on an exciting night of 168-pound action on Showtime Boxing: EDIÇÃO ESPECIAL de The Joint no Hard Rock Hotel & Cassino. See the video of the decision via Twitter link AQUI.

 

Benavidez (19-0, 17 KOs) placed the previously vacated WBC Super Middleweight belt around his waist after winning the title against former European amateur standout Gavril (18-2, 14 KOs) in what Benavidez later described as quite possibly the “Fight of the Year.” One scorecard had Gavril winning 116-111, with Benavidez winning on the other two scorecards, 116-111 e 117-111 in the event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

 

“It feels amazing to win this title,” said the Phoenix resident Benavidez. “It’s everything I’ve dreamed about since I was a little kid. It’s everything I’ve dedicated myself to and I’ve worked hard for. It finally paid off.”

 

The 31-year-old Romanian Gavril, who trains at Mayweather’s Gym in Las Vegas by Eddie Mustafa Muhammad, sent Benavidez to the canvas with a left hook with just 50 seconds left in the wild 12th e última rodada.

 

“I feel I won the fight. I dominated the pace. I can’t say anything else other than it was up to the judges,” Gavril said, who was watched by his promoter all-time great Floyd Mayweather from ringside. “The only thing I can do is to ask for a rematch.”

 

Benavidez, who turned pro at age 16 and only had 15 lutas amadoras, took control of the fight early on, but Gavril seemed to gain steam mid-fight, out-boxing and being more active than Benavidez in the seventh, rodadas oitavo e nono. In rounds 11 e 12, Benavidez out-landed Gavril 66-35 overall and 53-14 with power punches.

 

“I felt my performance was good except for the last round when I got too anxious and wanted to knock him out,” Benavidez said. “I let my young side takeover and I wanted to give the fans a great fight. I didn’t really feel hurt but it was a shock knockdown. I know to be careful and more cautious. It was a learning experience.”

 

 

 

In another super middleweight contest, Abie Han suffered a devastating accidental head-butt againstJ'Leon Amor em 1:02 into the eighth round and the fight went to the scorecards. One judge had Las Vegas’ Love winning 79-73, and the other two 76-76 making the decision a technical majority draw.

 

Following an exchange of punches, Amar (23-1-1, 13 KOs) leaned in and the two fighter banged heads in violent fashion. Ter (26-3-1, 16 KOs) de El Paso, Texas, was left stunned and fell to the floor as blood gushed from his forehead above his left eye and he was immediately checked on by referee Kenny Bayless.

 

Ter, who left the arena sitting up on a stretcher before hearing the decision, won the statistical battle in the ring. Han landed more blows (78-47 No geral, 20-12 jabs, 58-35 poder) and did so more accurately (24 percent to 17 percent overall, 16 percent to eight percent jabs and 30 percent to 27 percent power).

 

SHOWTIME boxing analyst Al Bernstein had Han winning by one point at the time of the stoppage.

 

“I can’t rate my performance as great because I didn’t get a victory, I got a draw,” said Love, who once trained at the famed Kronk Gym in Detroit under Hall of Fame trainer Emanuel Steward.

 

The 29-year-old Love ended nearly a one-year layoff with his return to the ring. “I’m kind of rusty but I feel like I pressed the action and tried to take it to him,"Ele disse. “Other than that I feel like I landed the cleaner shots.”

 

Na luta de a cerimônia de abertura, unbeaten super middleweight prospect Caleb Planta (16-0, 10 KOs) recorded a 10-round shutout decision against a tough Andrew Hernandez (19-7-1, 9 KOs), 100-90 três vezes.

 

Planta, who resides in Las Vegas by way of Ashland City, Tenn., was the more active fighter against the 31-year-old switch-hitting journeyman Hernandez, who took the fight on just eight daysnotice after Alan Campa dropped out. Plant jabbed effectively (81 de 271, 30 por cento) while neutralizing Hernandez’s usually effective jab (46 de 325, 14 por cento). Plant was also sharp with his power shots landing 44 percent to Hernandez’s 19 por cento.

 

“I’m very pleased with my performance,” Plant said. “I boxed well and I dictated the pace. I pressed when I needed to press and boxed when I needed to box. I felt I put on a great show for the fans. I want to be star in boxing. I know with hard work I can accomplish anything.

 

“Hernandez is tough, I sent him with everything and he stood tall and my hats off to him. He’s a tough competitor.”

 

Hernandez, de Phoenix, Ariz., suffered a cut under his left eye in the third and it caused him problems throughout the fight, opening up and bleeding over the final two rounds.

 

“All respect to Caleb Plant on his performance tonight,” Hernandez said. “He put on a solid fight and he’s got a great future. I was happy I was able to stay in there and last the entire 10 rounds.

 

“I felt Caleb won, but I don’t think it was 10 rounds to none. But that’s not for me to decide. It’s all up to the judges at the end of the day it only matters what they think.”

 

Plant added: “I’m ready to step up in competition and fight anybody in the top 10 of the super middleweight division. I got my eye on Benavidez and all the other world champions. I’m coming!"

 

Sexta-feira tripleheader will replay on Sunday, Sete. 10, em 9 a.m. E/PT, e Segunda-feira, Sete. 11, em 10 p.m. E/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME on DEMAND® e Showtime ANYTIME®.

Hernandez recently fought so I know he’s in good shape. I’m happy that he stepped up, but I’m going to put tips on him. There’s no two ways about it, I’m coming out on top.
On his recent training camp
Training camp has been unbelievable. It’s no doubt, one of my best training camps ever. My weight is perfect and I couldn’t be happier with the way I’ve been looking in the gym. My trainer Justin Gamber is doing a phenomenal job, as well as my dad Richie. Larry Wade, my strength and conditioning coach, has got me in tip top shape. We are going to dictate our game plan on Hernandez, and try to get him out of there before the final bell. If it goes the distance, Eu vou estar pronto.”

The following is a training camp update from each of the fighters on desta sexta-feira tripleheader.

 

David “El Bandera Roja” Benavidez

  • He trains out of The Summit Gym in Big Bear, Califa.
  • His trainer is his father, Jose Benavidez Sr.
  • Com uma vitória, Benavidez (idade 20) would become the youngest Super Middleweight to ever win a world title and the youngest current world champion.
  • He’s very familiar with the gym because his brother Jose Benavidez Jr. (former WBA interim super lightweight champion) used to train there when he was active.

 

Benavidez on training camp:

“My training camps are always fairly long. I only take a week off after every fight and go back into training. For the first couple weeks, it’s just moving around, then we slowly work into the hard training. For this one, I probably had like a month and a half, two months.”

 

Sobre o seu adversário:

“I feel like he [Ronald Gavril] has a really good style for me to showcase my skills, like how I did against Rogelio Medina. With our sparring partners, we have brawlers and we have boxers, também. Whatever style he fights on that night, I’m going to be prepared for it.”

 

Ronald “The Thrill” Gavril

  • He trains at the Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas.
  • He is a former European amateur standout.
  • His trainer is Eddie Mustafa Muhammad (65 anos; former WBA light heavyweight world champion, retired in 1988 com um recorde de 50-8-1, 39 KOs).

Gavril on training camp:

“I feel really sharp and I’m really happy with how everything has gone during training. This is the opportunity that I’ve worked so hard to get to and I’m definitely not letting it slip by. I know that everything needs to be 100 percent on fight night so I’m pushing myself to be ready to do whatever it takes to leave with the belt.”

 

Sobre o seu adversário:

“Benavidez is a strong guy who’s coming in with a lot of support behind him, but I’m not going to let any of that distract me from my preparation. Me and my trainer are going to have a great game plan for him. I know he wants to be active and smother me and we’re going to show him all of the parts of my game.”

Eddie Mustafa Muhammad:

“I got Ronald sparring with the IBF’s number-one super middleweight contender, Jose Uzcategui. He’s giving us good work, too—he can fight. We also sparred Badou Jack for a couple rounds. We’ve got an abundance of guys that we’re working with.

 

“The way they’re talking about Benavidez, it’s like he’s King Kong. But it’s good—perfect! Ronald is a boxer-puncher, he can adapt. That’s the whole key. He has a wealth of amateur experience. This is our opportunity. We’ve talked about this for a while now, and Ronald is at a point where he’s ready right now…It’s going to be a great fight.”

 

J'Leon Amor

  • He trains at the Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas.
  • His trainer is Theo Chambers.
  • He’s been in training camp for about five months

 

Love on training camp:

“My training camp—it’s been months! I started training in April. Being that we had fights fall out, I always stayed in the gym. That’s the hardest part, because I feel like I’ve had bad luck with fights falling out. But one thing I can say—we train our ass off! I just want to go on vacation after this.”

 

“We’ve had a lot of good sparring—Lionell Thompson and Denis Douglin have been in here working. We’ve had so many sparring partners throughout this camp, and we’ve just been working, working, working.

 

Sobre o seu adversário:

“I remember Abie Han from the amateurs. He’s always been a tough fighter. You can’t look past anybody. Everybody comes in that ring to fight. Everybody comes in with a different mode or a different drive, so this may be the drive he has to really come out and explode on the scene and beat me. Assim, I’m taking him absolutely, positively serious, like he’s a world championship fighter and we’re fighting for the world title.”

 

Abraham “The Sun City Warrior” Han

  • Trains out of his father’s martial arts studio in El Paso, Texas (Han’s Martial Arts).
  • He is trained by Louie Burke — 56 anos; former pro junior lightweight, retired in 1985 com um recorde de 19-3, 12 KOs; won the “ESPN Junior Lightweight Title” on Apr. 14, 1983, with a 12-round unanimous decision against Freddie Roach; also won a 10-round decision against Roach in the rematch on Nov. 10, 1983.
  • He has sparred with former world champion Austin Trout.

 

Han on training camp:

“I train at my dad’s martial arts studio in El Paso – Han’s Martial Arts. I’m sparring mostly with local people from El Paso, and I also sparred with Austin Trout.

 

“I’ve been working hard and working with Austin (Truta) and that makes a big difference. Austin makes me so much better. He’s been a world champion and he will be a world champion again. His expertise and his knowledge is amazing. He’s been in those situations and he tells me little things along the way and I think that will make all the difference in this fight.”

 

Caleb “Sweet Hands” Plant

  • Moved to Las Vegas from Nashville about a year ago to train
  • He is trained by Justin Gamber and his father Richie Plant.

 

Plant on training camp:

I’ve been living in Las Vegas for more than a year now – since August 24th, 2016. I’ve been in the gym consistently this whole time since my last fight, but my ‘officialtraining camp will be seven or eight weeks. We bounce around to a couple of different gyms for sparring. I’ve had good work this camp – great sparring, good strength and conditioning, good gym work, and I’ve had good rest. I have a good diet.

 

I know every boxer says, ‘Oh, this is my best camp,’ and a lot of times they don’t mean it. But this has literally been my best camp. Things are very smooth.”

 

Andrew Hernandez

  • He is managed by his wife Jacquie Hernandez and trained by Alan Beirs.
  • Alfred Quintana serves as his cut man and strength and conditioning coach.
  • A late replacement, Hernandez got the call on Aug. 29 and accepted the fight; contract signed the next day.
  • Trains at Gents Gym in Arrowhead, Ariz.

 

What Hernandez has to say:

I’ve known my trainer, Alan Beirs, for a while. He actually helped me with my last couple of fights – we’ve only been together maybe six months or so. He worked my corner in February, but we weren’t working completely together. Then when I got back in the gym in March, that’s when we really started working together.

 

I train at a place called Gents Gym in Arrowhead, Ariz. I trained there with the Busted Knuckles Boxing crew – that’s Alan Beirscrew. We’re all pushing each other to get better and I know they’ll have me ready for fight night.”

Benavidez (18-0, 17 KOs) has a chance to make historyat just 20-years-old he is aiming to become the youngest super middleweight champion in history and the youngest reigning world champion in the sport today. Gavril (18-1, 14 KOs) will seek to keep the WBC 168-pound title in the Mayweather Promotions family after it was vacated by his stablemate, Badou Jack.
This opportunity means the world to me,” disse Benavidez. “I’ve been working for his since I was a little kid. It’s all come down to this moment when I’m ready to take this belt and take over the 168-pound division. The time is almost here, and I can hardly wait for Setembro 8.

It’s been a great journey for me getting to this point of fighting for a world title,” said Gavril. “I have a great team behind me who pushes me every single day to perform my best, learn from my mistakes and perfect my technique.

He was the next available contender when Anthony Dirrell pulled out. We expect fireworks. We expect to birth a new superstar. The most important thing is to determine in which round Gavril will be knocked out, because I believe that we’re talking about matching a jet plane against a helicopter.

Aqui está o que os lutadores tinham a dizer antes de quinta-feira pesagem:

 

GALARZA:

“We had some great sparring with guys like Daniel Jacobs, Sadam Ali, Khytrov. They always give me top tough work. That’s top competition right there. Fighting guys like that builds my confidence. If I can hang in there with them then I can hang with anyone. They’re going to help to bring me to another level. I feed off their energy.

 

“Moore is an aggressive fighter, but I’m a come-forward guy, muito. Eu posso ser agressivo, but smart aggressive. Not just aggressive to punch and throw punches wildly. It’s more being smart, using my defense, my offense and countering when he makes mistakes.

 

“I try not to think about fighting in the main event in Brooklyn, but it helps and it definitely motivates me. Quero dizer, it doesn’t get any better than that – fighting in my home in the main event.

 

“It’s my backyard, so I have to put on a show. It doesn’t give me jitters because I’ve fought in my home before, but the main event is different. I just need to do my job.

 

"Para mim, it’s will and skill. I bring my skill level to the next level. How bad do I want it? Am I going to perform well enough to move to the next level and face those top contenders?

 

“I want to face the top prospects so I can earn a spot as a contender. But I need to get through this guy first.”

 

MOORE:

“The main reason why I came all the way to the United States is because here is where boxing is at its best. I’m really excited about this opportunity. Being on SHOWTIME as a main event is huge for me.

 

“It’s not going to be easy, I’m fighting a guy from Brooklyn in Brooklyn in his back yard. But I’ve been in this situation before, I’ve fought abroad many times before and I’m not intimidated. It’s another day at the office for me.

 

“This is it for me, there’s no turning back. Eu tenho que ganhar. I just don’t see myself losing tomorrow.

 

“I’ve seen a couple Galarza videos on YouTube. He was more of a brawler at the beginning of his career. Agora, he’s a more disciplined boxer. That can backfire sometimes, something to watch out.

 

“You’ll see fireworks and excitement. I’m not going to look for the knockout. I think it’s a bad strategy to do that. If it comes, it comes. I’ll be looking to win, não importa o que. This is a very big fight for me, so it’ll be all about winning, impressing and being at my best.”

 

KHYTROV

“The atmosphere training in Big Bear was amazing. It was one of the best training camps I’ve had. I’ve never been through a camp in the amateurs like that.

 

“I had a chance to meet Gennady (Golovkin) in Big Bear and we spoke and actually became pretty close. We talked about training regime, stuff athletes talk about. I loved it there.

 

“The adjustment from amateurs to pros has been fine. The only difference is handling the different rounds and realizing that you have to pace yourself for these eight, 10, 12 lutas redondas.

 

“The best time to knock a guy out is in the first two rounds when they aren’t warmed up yet. I tried against (Jorge) Melendez but I couldn’t get him out. I just realized I needed to pace myself for the other six rounds and work the body. It was nice to get those rounds and experience against a tough fighter.

 

“I know he (Coley) is a pretty hard-hitting southpaw. I assume that he won’t come forward, but maybe he’ll surprise me. He has a few knockouts, but I’m going to watch him, learn and adapt.

 

“I faced southpaws in the amateurs. His style won’t give me any issues. I could even switch to a southpaw stance if I need to.

 

“Personally, health allowing, I think I should be a contender by the end of 2015. But I put all my trust into my team. They know best. My job is just to train and prepare for everything they put in front of me.

 

“Yes, 100 percent I’d like to face Gennady. To be the best you have to fight the best. And right now I consider him to be the best 160 pound fighter in the world.”

 

COLEY:

“Fighting on TV for me is a big deal. When I was little, my father used to throw fight parties to watch big fights and tomorrow he’s throwing one for me. That alone makes me so proud. I’ll have my own viewing party. I’m fighting on national television, no canal Showtime. That’s such of big deal for me. This is my breakout. This is the sign I’m made it.

 

“I stay in shape all year round, but for the past two months I’ve been taking it to the extreme. Training hard, sparring even harder.

 

“I’ve been working very hard. I’ve sparred with world champions and I’ve been doing well. I think this is my time to step up and show everybody how good I am.

 

“I’m predicting there will be a stoppage in the later rounds.”

DEREVYANCHENKO:

“The competition I faced in the WSB was, for the most part, the best fighters in the world. Até agora, the guys I’ve faced in the pros don’t have that resume, that skill level. So I think I’ve fought in more than just four pro fights.

 

“I’m working hard in the gym to make the transition from amateur to pro. I’m taking it step-by-step. I don’t want to jump the gun or make a mistake too fast. I’m looking forward to increasing my level of opposition gradually.

 

“I’ve seen some of his (Campa) lutas. In some fights he boxes different than in other fights. We’ll see what he does in the ring and adjust accordingly. But I don’t think he can bring anything that I haven’t seen before. But he’s a Mexican fighter so we know he won’t give up.

 

“I’m going to show what I’m worth. I’ve been preparing for this my whole life. Now is my chance to build my fan base and show what I can do in the ring.”

CAMPA:

“This is my first fight in the U.S., and I’m planning to take full advantage of this opportunity.

 

“My training was intense, a lot of running, especially in the mountains. I worked on my conditioning and my speed. I’m at the best shape I’ve ever been.

 

“When I found out about my opponent, I watched video on him and I know I’m better than him. I think my main advantages are age and speed. My opponent is 29, Eu sou 23. I’m younger and quicker and I’m not about to make it easy for him.

 

“I’m going to read him in the early rounds and, if I feel he’s not hurting me, I’ll go the distance.

 

“This fight is a huge step-up for me. I see it as key fight. I feel it might be a make or break for me. Vamos ver, I might get a chance to deliver a knockout and that might spark some attention in the boxing world.”

Galarza, considerado por muitos como "The Brooklyn Rocky," continua a compensar o tempo perdido. Sua chocante segunda rodada nocaute vitória sobre o favorecido John Thompson na sua ShoBox: A Nova Geraçãoestréia, was one of the most memorable knockouts of the year. Galarza has been on a tear since.

 

"Galarza foi um achado fortuito por ShoBox,'' Historiador do boxe reconhecido e ShoBox analista especialista Steve Farhood. "Desde que ele chateado Thompson, ele venceu mais quatro vezes, e olhou cada vez melhor. O nível de sua oposição não permitir que ele fosse chamado um candidato ainda, mas ele fez grandes avanços. Gostaria de pensar na idade 29 ele iria tentar fazer deste um grande ano para ele. "

 

A luta Galarza-Moore é um dos três programados oito polivalentes em uma cerimônia que tem um sabor distinto Brooklyn a ele. Invicto médios poder de perfuração Ievgen "O ucraniano Lion" Khytrov (9-0, 9 KOs) e stablemate, blue-chip super-médios perspectiva Sergiy "The Technician" Derevyanchenko (4-0, 3 KOs / World Series of Boxing: 23-1, 7 KOs) também residem no Brooklyn.

Os ingressos podem ser adquiridos pelo telefone DiBella Entertainment em (212) 947-2577. As portas abrem às 6:15 p.m. E, com a primeira luta marcada para 6:45 p.m. E.

 

Para Galarza, quem está subindo no ranking mundial, O recente aumento não poderia vir em melhor hora. A forte fisicamente, aggressive boxer-perfurador, Galarza começou tarde no boxe e tinha apenas 11 lutas amadoras.

 

"O tempo para mim é definitivamente agora,'' Disse ele. "Meu primeiro ShoBox lutar definir a plataforma para me. Eu não apenas venceu uma luta que absolutamente ninguém pensou que podia, Ganhei-o em grande estilo. Eu fiz uma declaração. Eu continuou a crescer e sentir que eu comecei melhor desde que luta. Mas eu estou aqui para mostrar às pessoas o que eu estou pensando, continuar a treinar muito e basta levá-la pouco a pouco, uma luta de cada vez.

 

"É emocionante para lutar no evento principal televisionado no meu quintal. Eu nunca estive mais motivado para um jogo. Quero agradecer a SHOWTIME por me dar outra oportunidade de lutar em ShoBox.''

 

Em termos de estilo, Galarza acredita que esta é uma grande disputa para ele. "Moore parece fisicamente grande e forte, resistente e com fome e vem para lutar,'' Disse ele. "Ele é agressivo e isso é a melhor parte sobre isso - ele deve fazer para uma grande luta. Eu posso ser agressivo, muito. Eu sei que ele está vindo para lutar e todo mundo sabe que eu não estou movendo para trás, por isso espero que fogos de artifício.

 

"Eu venho para lutar cada vez, especialmente no canal Showtime, em ShoBox onde eles dão-lhe adversários de bom calibre que são esperados para fazer um show e esperados para fazer uma boa luta.

 

"É em Brooklyn, minha cidade natal, e eu quero entreter as pessoas. Este é o meu show, o meu regresso a casa, e eu vou defender a minha própria casa. Eu tenho um trabalho a fazer em abril 10, mas depois disso, os grandes nomes da divisão vão ser forçados a lidar comigo. Eu sou 29 e colocando tudo na linha. ''

 

Em seu mais recente ShoBox aparência, Galarza ganhou uma decisão de oito unânime redonda sobre invicto Sebastien Bouchard (8-0 indo em) em Maio 16, 2014, pelos escores de 78-73 e 77-74 duas vezes, apesar de ter um ponto deduzido por um golpe baixo na rodada final.

 

O adversário de Galarza, 27-anos de idade, Moore, está fazendo sua ShoBox estréia e quarta início nos Estados Unidos, onde ele está 1-1-1. Ele apareceu pela última vez no U.S. em Junho 2012.

"Esta é uma grande oportunidade para mim e para a minha carreira, mãos para baixo esta é a maior luta da minha vida,"Moore disse. "É uma luta deve-ganha para mim. Tenho visto algumas das lutas de Galarza e estou plenamente confiante de que tenho o que é preciso para perturbá-lo em seu quintal. Este é um sonho tornado realidade para mim, lutando na televisão nacional, e eu pensando em mostrar o mundo do boxe que eu pertenço ao nível da elite dessa divisão.

"Meu estilo é definitivamente agressivo. Eu gosto de caminhar até o meu adversário. Galarza tem boa movimentação e bom alcance. Mas essa luta vai ser a primeira luta em que eu não tenho de trabalhar no lado durante a preparação. Eu sou 100 por cento dedicado ao esporte e pronto para ir em 10 de abril "

 

O 5-foot-10 Moore ganhou suas duas últimas lutas, o mais recente em um nocaute no primeiro round sobre Janos Varga último Dezembro. 20 na Bélgica. Assim como Galarza, ele tem um início tardio no boxe e teve uma carreira amadora limitada (27 extremidades). Ele fez kickboxing quando ele era 15, mas não teve a sua primeira luta amadora até a idade de 19.

 

Khytrov (pronunciadas HE-custos) era um amador fenomenal com reportedly 500 lutas amadoras. Ele foi o 2011 campeão mundial amador e um representante para a Ucrânia no 2012 Jogos Olímpicos.

 

Esta será sua segunda aparição no ShoBox. Em sua estréia em Jan. 9, ele destruiu o previamente invicto Maurice Louishomme, vencendo por nocaute técnico na terceira rodada. Acendeu-se Louishomme com a mão direita e uppercuts para o corpo, cambaleando-lo em várias ocasiões em um one-sided caso que estava parado em 0:24 na terceira rodada.

 

Agressivo, ofensiva de espírito Khytrov lutou um total de 27 rounds em nove partidas, uma média de três rounds uma luta - e que inclui a sua TKO carreira-melhor oitava rodada sobre sempre difícil Puerto Rican Jorge Melendez em março 6.

 

"Ievgen [pronunciado yev-gin, com um disco G] é tão fã-friendly um lutador como você vai encontrar, nunca dá um passo para trás, olha para machucar seu adversário com cada soco,'' Farhood disse. “After nine fights, ele mostra todos os sinais de que ele vai ser um candidato ao título em um ano a 18 meses. Seu mais recente, uma paralisação de mais de Jorge Melendez, Foi uma jogada ousada para assumir um adversário perigoso e experiente e ele o levou para fora, quebrou-o para baixo. O que isso quer dizer-me?"

 

Um dos melhores perspectivas no boxe, o 5-foot-11, 26-year-old Khytrov foi movido em um ritmo muito mais rápido do que a maioria das outras perspectivas, nesta fase de suas carreiras. Ele fez sua estréia profissional em idade 25 em dezembro 2013 e lutou seis vezes em 2014. Esta é a sua terceira luta de 2015. Todas as suas lutas foram nos Estados Unidos.

Khytrov, que se mudou para o Brooklyn logo após o 2012 Jogos Olímpicos, está ansioso para Abril 10 chegar. "Estou muito animado para voltar aos ringues em Abril 10, especialmente sendo que a luta está em meu lar adotivo de Brooklyn,'' Disse ele. "Quero agradecer aos meus promotores DiBella Entretenimento e Combate Promotions Inc. e meu gerente Al Haymon por esta oportunidade para mais uma vez mostrar minhas habilidades em ShoBox.

"Espero uma luta dura de Coley, quem, como eu, nunca foi derrotado como um profissional. Sabíamos que 2015 ia ser um grande ano para mim e para a minha carreira, e prometo ainda um outro desempenho espetacular em Abril 10 enquanto continuamos a subir as fileiras da minha divisão ".

Khytrov compara seu estilo para um dos grandes nomes de todos os tempos do boxe. “Eu tenho um estilo de Roberto Duran. Eu sou um brawler all-out,'' Disse ele. "Eu atacar o corpo. Eu amo os holofotes TV. ''

 

Coley é um canhoto e de dois anos pro que está dando um passo imenso para cima nesta luta, sua ShoBox e estreia oito rodada. A perspectiva em 160 libras - ele subiu de divisão dos médios júnior em sua última luta - ele iscoming off sexto nocaute de sua carreira, um KO quinta-redonda sobre Loren Myers em outubro. 11, 2014.

 

"Estou muito animado sobre apresentando minhas habilidades em uma plataforma como canal Showtime,'' Disse o Coley sempre bem-condicionado, que nunca foi derrubado como um profissional ou amador. "Eu vi luta Khytrov. Pelo que parece, ele é um lutador decente. Eu realmente não acho que haja algo de especial nele. Ele é bastante simples, um gajo do Leste Europeu, que só entra e usa pequenos ângulos. Ele é um perfurador duro com bom poder, mas eu não sei os caras que ele está lutando.

 

"Um Pouco Mais, Você não pode ferir o que você não pode bater. "

 

Um boxer ágil que agora trabalha fora de Virgil Hunter'S ginásio no norte da Califórnia, Coley está fazendo sua segunda partida para novo treinador Eddie Croft.Ele tinha sido vivendo e treinando em Las Vegas. Ele foi 8-0 no início de uma carreira profissional que começou em abril 2012.

 

A respeito de seu apelido, Coley disse, "Meu pai é dono de uma empresa de sucata de metal."

 

Derevyanchenko (pronunciado der-you-van-CHENK-oh), que está fazendo suaShoBox estréia, tem a aparência de um candidato "imperdível". Um passo a mais, muitos esperam que a sua ascensão no ranking mundial para ser nada menos do que meteórica. Ele está atualmente classificado n. 12 na IBF, Não. 25 no WBC.

 

"Estou muito animado com a minha primeira luta na televisão americana,'' Disse ele. "Esta será a primeira vez que aparece em ShoBox e eu estou absolutamente encantado. Esta é a minha festa de debutante. Estou preparando dia e noite, e eu estou pronto para mostrar minhas habilidades para o mundo. Eu estou pronto para mostrar-lhes 'The Technician ".

 

"Meu estilo é muito técnico, mas uma vez eu acho que o meu adversário para fora, Eu atacar ferozmente. Com muito trabalho e uma grande equipe por trás de mim, Vou me tornar um campeão do mundo na minha categoria. Não há dúvida em minha mente. "

 

Um amador excepcional, o 5-foot-7 Derevyanchenko compilou um recorde impressionante de 390-20 enquanto representando sua Ucrânia natal no 2008 Jogos Olímpicos. Um ano antes, ele ganhou a medalha de bronze no 2007 Amador Campeonatos Mundiais.

 

Este será o quinto início do Derevyanchenko em uma fila do lado de fora do World Series of Boxing onde ele foi 23-1. Ele foi o 2012 WSB Team Champion e 2011 e 2012 WSB Individual Champion. Ele lutou na WSB a partir de novembro 2010 a abril 2014.

 

Derevyanchenko venceu sua primeira luta fora da WSB em um TKO segunda rodada sobre Cromwell Gordon em julho 23, 2014. Em sua última partida passadoFevereiro. 20, ele marcou um TKO no segundo round unilateral sobre Governo Biosse.

 

Quanto ao seu adversário, Derevyanchenko disse, "Campa é um bom lutador - tall, forte. Ele olha durável, um adversário sólido. ''

 

Campa está fazendo sua ShoBox estrear no Abril 10 e será sua primeira luta fora do México. Ele ganhou quatro em uma fileira, três por nocaute. Ele nocauteou Christian Chavez na segunda rodada em sua última excursão últimaDezembro. 6.

A 6-foot-1, 23-anos de idade, está dando um salto gigantesco em sala de aula e as probabilidades estão contra ele, mas nada disso importa para ele uma vez a abertura sons de sino.

“I am very excited to finally make my dream a reality and fight in the United States,'' Disse ele. "Esta é apenas a oportunidade que eu tenho treinado e lutou pelos últimos cinco anos. Sou versátil; Eu posso lutar de forma agressiva ou caixa e movimento.

“Many promising young prospects got their start on ShoBox e passou a ganhar títulos mundiais. Em Abril 10, Alan Campa vai começar a pavimentar o caminho para se juntar à lista de ShoBox campeões do mundo.

"Eu tenho treinado muito duro. Eu sei que posso vencer essa luta. "

Campa também tinha um fundo amador forte (182-6). Antes de se tornar profissional em setembro 2010, ele foi cinco vezes campeão do estado de Sonora, um campeão regional de cinco vezes, e um campeão nacional quatro vezes. Ele também foi o medalhista de ouro no 2010 Pan Campeonato juventude americana na 165 libras.
