In a
sure fight of the year candidate, WBA champion in recess Guillermo
Jones (39-3-2, 31 KOs) scored an upset eleventh round TKO over a very
game WBA cruiserweight champion Denis Lebedev (25-2, 19 KOs) on Friday
night at the Crocus City Hall in Moscow, Russia. The 41-year-old Jones
had a good first round cutting Lebedev was cut over the right eye.
Lebedev came out very aggressive in round two, but Jones did his share
of damage too. Same scenario in round three. Lebedev’s eye was swollen
shut. Jones took more big shots in round four, but worked over Lebedev
in round five. Lebedev came back strong in the sixth round and punished
Jones in the seventh. Lebedev dominated round eight, but Jones found his
second wind in round nine targeting Lebedev’s eye. Lebedev’s face was
swollen grotesquely after round ten. Lebedev, fighting virtually blind,
finally went down in round eleven. Jones wins by KO. Jones’ promoter Don
King, written off by some a few months ago, is back in the game with a
new world champion.
Doble campeonato mundial en Moscú | Pesaje oficial

El campeón mundial pesado "regular" de la Asociación Mundial de Boxeo
(AMB), el invicto ruso Alexander Povetkin, se enfrentará al imbatido
polaco Andrzej Wawrzyk, intentando defender por cuarta ocasión su
corona, en el combate estelar de la velada que se desarrollará en la
noche del viernes en el Crocus City Hall de Moscú, Rusia.

A
source informed Fightnews.com that WBA executive vice president Gilberto
Mendoza Jr. is awaiting confirmation of the date to formally present
the WBA belt to Saul “Canelo” Alvarez in Panama City. “We respect the
WBC decision in relation to unification fights but these fights are
accepted and WBA will continue doing them and accepting them,” said
Mendoza Jr.
Del total ofrecido por King, el 55% le
corresponde al campeón y el 45% al interino. La AMB aclara lo siguiente:
"Durante la XCI Convención Anual de la AMB, celebrada durante el 2012
en Indonesia, se declaró a Guillermo Jones como campeón en receso debido
a la inactividad a causa de sus lesiones y se elevó a Denis Lebedev de
campeón interino a campeón regular. Los estatutos de la AMB no detallan
una opción para campeón en receso dentro de una subasta, por esta razón
se hace entender que a Guillermo Jones le corresponde el 45%."
