CABAZON, کیلیفورنیا. (جنوری. 9, 2015) – Undefeated prospect آئیون Redkach (18-0, 14 کوس) was impressive in a sixth-round knockout victory over Yakubu Amidu کی (19-6-2, 17 کوس), who failed to get off his stool following the sixth round in جمعہ کی main event of ShoBox: نئی نسل سے Morongo Casino, ریزورٹ & Spa Cabazon میں, کیلیفورنیا.

Working for the first time with new trainer رابرٹ گارسیا, REDK, of Los Angeles by way of Ukraine, started out slow as he found his range, with the durable Amidu handling his power in the opening rounds. Amide, of Los Angeles by way of Ghana, started slow but picked up the pace in the fourth and then was docked a point by referee Ray Corona for repeated low blows in the fifth.

Amide, who had never been knocked down in 26 پیشہ ورانہ لڑائی, suffered two knockdowns in the sixth, with the first coming after a quick right followed by a hard left and the second after an onslaught of power punches. Amidu barely beat the count both times, but he simply couldn’t handle the power of Redkach, جو اترا 45 اس کی طاقت punches کے فیصد.

“I was getting ready to knock him out,” Redkach said. “I was going to finish him before his corner stopped the fight. I would have finished him in the next round.

“I hadn’t been in the ring for sixth months, so I had to feel him out in the beginning before we attacked,” said Redkach. “That was the game plan with Robert Garcia. I was in perfect physical condition. I will be a world champion very soon. That is my dream.”

Amidu complained that a leg injury was the reason he quit on his stool.

“I hurt my knee in the last round when I fell on it,” Amidu said. “I was OK after the knockdown, but when I stood up I felt something in my knee. I didn’t stop fighting because of the punches; I stopped because I hurt my knee.”

While Amidu complained of a hurt knee after the fight, the California State Athletic Commission stated that the bout was stopped due to punches. By rule, the commission rules that a knockout.

SHOWTIME Analyst Steve Farhood was impressed by Redkach, who has been labeled by many boxing pundits as a hot prospect to watch.

“It was a very impressive victory because Amidu had never been down and had fought much better opposition,” Farhood said. “It’s not that Redkach beat him, it’s the way he beat him. When Redkach debuted on ShoBox we billed him as a lightweight terror and he didn’t really fight that way. But tonight he fought smart and in the sixth round the terror came out. He showed he had legitimate power.”

شریک خصوصیت میں, undefeated junior middleweight prospect Alantez “SlyAza” Fox, of Forestville, ایم ڈی, kept his undefeated record intact with an eight-round majority decision victory over previously unbeaten پیٹرک دن, رنز بنائے 76-76, 78-74, 80-72.

Day (9-1, 5 کوس), who went past six rounds for the first time in his career, wasn’t able to come forward and looked frustrated in later rounds as he entered unchartered territory.

“I was able to land my jab,” said the 22-year-old Fox. “I kept moving and was able to stay off the ropes. I kept him on the outside with my jabs and movement. That definitely was the advantage that I had over him in the fight. It wasn’t just my height that worked; it was my movement and range.

“I was anxious before the fight, but once I was in the ring I settled down,” said Fox, who was making his SHOWTIME debut. “I’m very thankful for the opportunity and am very excited for big things to come.”

Day seemed frustrated with the decision saying, “I think I did enough to win. I think that I landed the better, harder, cleaner, more effective punches. I thought that’s how professional boxing is scored, but I guess not tonight. His height wasn’t a huge issue because I still think I won, but it was definitely an obstacle.”

میں ShoBox: نئی نسل opening bout, 2012 اولمپین Ievgen “Ukrainian Lion” Khytrov (8-0, 8 کوس) remained undefeated with a dominating third-round technical knockout victory over outmatched Maurice “The Natural” Louishomme (8-1-1, 4 کوس).
