Uzbekistan prospects, light heavyweight Gayrat Ahmedov and welterweight Ravshan Hudaynazarov, both kept their unbeaten records intact by winning their bouts last Saturday night (Mar. 27) on a Don Chargin Productions/Jorge Marron Productions card at the Karma Club in Victorville, California.
Ahmedov (14-0-1, 9 KOs), a four-time Uzbekistan National Amateur Champion, recently cracked the World Boxing Association ratings and he is currently ranked No. 14 in the world. Gayrat is the reigning WBC Asian Boxing Council and PABA Interim light heavyweight champion.
In his non-title fight, main event bout, Ahmedov took on 45-fight veteran Demetrius Davis, who holds upset wins against Joseph Kiwanuka and Brian Norman, and fought a draw with Tommy Karpency. The durable Davis also went the distance with former world champion Eric Lucas and world title challengers Thomas Tate and Omar Sheika. Ahmedov landed the harder and more effective punches to win an 8-round decision.
Hudaynazarov (11-0, 9 KOs), a 2007 World Military Games Gold Medalist, dropped down from junior middleweight to the more competitive welterweight for the first time against a dangerous opponent in Anthony “The Matrix” Mora (15-6, 10 KOs). Ravshan used his lethal body attack once again, dropping Mora twice with left hooks, the last time resulting in a knockout at 2:59 of the opening round.
Ahmedov and Hudaynazarov are promoted by Las Vegas-based KZ Event Productions, the Las Vegas-based company owned and operated by the Shumenov brothers, World Boxing Association light heavyweight champion, Beibut, and Chingis.
