Simply hours after Oleksandr Usyk gained his good heavyweight battle in opposition to Tyson Fury, the WBO light-weight title was at stake in San Diego. Emanuel Navarrete, the thrilling 38-2-1 motion fighter squared off in opposition to the 19-0 Denys Berinchyk in a scheduled 12 rounder. The winner would get pleasure from such esteemed firm as Vasyl Lomachenko, Shakur Stevenson, and Tank Davis. Suffice to say, neither man regarded like he belonged within the ring with these notables on Saturday. The struggle, frankly, was one thing of a slobberknocker the place neither man landed notably nicely on the opposite. The issue was that every fighter employed awkward ring techniques, which subsequently made the struggle awkward.
Not that there wasn’t enjoyable available within the ESPN broadcast struggle. Navarrete all the time brings the motion, and Berinkchyk was clearly in it to win it. In brief, the struggle was a excessive octane affair – it simply wasn’t excellent, a minimum of not for a championship stage contest. In the end, it was Berinchyk who left the ring with WBO belt in his possession due to a cut up determination nod from the judges. The official ruling made Berinchyk the newest Ukrainian fighter to win a significant title, although it was clear Berinchyk was nowhere close to as spectacular as his countryman Usyk was earlier within the day.
