Los Angeles, CA (February 22, 2016) Hot, undefeated junior lightweight prospect “Bekman” Soylybayev of Almaty, Kazakhstan, improved to 8-0 (3KOs) on Thursday night with a shutout unanimous decision over battle-tested Mexican veteran Moises Delgadillo,15-14-2, in Costa Mesa, California. Scores were 80-72 on all three judges’ scorecards.
With the victory, the 25-year-old “Bekman” earned the vacant WBA-NABA USA Super Featherweight Title.
Using his superior skills, solid combinations and a distinct speed advantage, “Bekman” controlled the action throughout the fight.
“I’m very happy with my performance, he was a tough fighter but I stuck to the game plan that my trainer Eric Brown devised,” said “Bekman”. “This was a very good win for me, he was my toughest opponent and I’m thrilled to win my first title.”
With four fights in 2015 and training in Los Angeles at the Wild Card West Boxing Gym in Santa Monica, “Bekman” will look to stay busy this year.
Said manager Sam Katkovski, “Bekman can box and brawl. He used a combination of both for this victory. His fan friendly style has connected with his growing fan base as we saw on Thursday night.”
“This was Bekman’s toughest test to date and he passed it with flying colors. He is going to be back in May in Kazakhstan on a card promoted by Diamond Ring and then will return to the United States to fight again in the second half of 2016.”
