Blake Caparello the next IBO Light
Heavyweight Champion
By Young Victor
Australian and IBO International Champion Blake
Caparello will be fighting the WBO world light
heavyweight title holder Sergey Kovalev 2nd August at
Revel Resort, Atlantic City, New Jersey, USA
Both fighters are unbeaten and although Kovalev's
team think they have picked an easy target by choosing
Blake as thier next opponent, they may be in for a big
surprise.
Young Victor expects our fighter to win on points and
expects Blake Caparello to be our next World champion.
Blake has had a very well prepared upward path the
ladder helped along by his manager/trainer Sam Labruna
and is now ready for the big time fights in the World
scene.
Blake has a unique style of fighting which opponents
find hard to work out, it has brought him this far, he
is now at the fringe of his destination and he needs his
skill to work against the elite professionals.
His most difficult time is now and his future success
will be proven by his upcoming fights.
Blake Caparello said "Sergey Kovalev has power but I
don't fear him. I wanted to fight Kovalev because he is
the best in the division and he is the man I want to
beat."

ZERAFA COASTS TO A WIN
By Young Victor
Michael Zerafa (15-0, 7 KOs)
outpointed Joe (sugar) Rea (9-14-1, 4 KOs) easily but did at
times take risks.
The first round started slow with Zerafa throwing accurate
straight lefts and rights feeling into the fight, a small
exchange of punches did take place.
The second round a hard telling straight left by the local
started a good exchange by both.
Rea started the round with good combinations and Zerafa
looked a little open to this but he immediately took to good
boxing and finished the round in front.
Good pace was maintained throughout the 4th. with Zerafa
keeping his lead.
Rea put more pace into the 5th. and caught Michael with a
couple of telling punches causing him to make signs of not
being hurt.
Round 6 the pace slowed down both having a rest but suddenly
Zerafa landed two beautiful right hands which put Rea into a
back off mode for the rest of the round.
In round 7 Rea showed some experienced tactics not usually
seen locally but Zerafa handled them well which kept him
very well ahead on points.
The last round showed Zerafa using great footwork and
staying at a distance but landing very speedy straight lefts
and rights.
While this was on Rea knew he had to land a knockout punch
to save the fight and hard he tried but to no avail.
Scores Tony Marretta 79-73, Andrew
Campbell 79-73, Mark Cook 80-72.
Talking to Joe Rea after the fight, said he is desperately
looking for a job if he is to stay in Australia.

FLETCHER LANDS WORLD TITLE FIGHT
Australian boxer Jarrod Fletcher knows it
may seem like he's fighting the whole of Brooklyn when
he seeks his first world title in New York.
The 2008 Olympian meets American Daniel Jacobs for the
vacant WBA middleweight championship at Brooklyn's
Barclays Center on August 9.
Brooklyn born and based, Jacobs has racked up five
knockout wins since returning from a 19-month layoff to
fight cancer.
"I know that the hometown crowd will be in Jacob's
corner, but that's fine," said Fletcher, who is on a
six-fight winning streak of his own.
"I intend on having my hand raised."
Fletcher's 18-1 record includes 10 knockouts, compared
to Jacobs' 27-1 with 24 knockouts.
"This whole comeback has been a dream so far, and what
better way to keep it going than with a world title
fight?" Jacobs said.
"This is the fight I've been waiting for and no one will
keep me from that belt."
Caparello lands world title fight
Melbourne's Blake Caparello is the
latest Australian boxer to land a huge international
title fight.
The unbeaten 27-year-old will face World
Boxing Organisation light-heavyweight champion Sergey
Kovalev (24 wins, one draw) in Atlantic City on August 2
(August 3 WA time).
It's a massive jump for Caparello (19 wins, one draw) to
go in against the big-punching Russian but his manager
Brendan Bourke says he is undaunted.
"He's a slick boxer and will ask him a lot of
questions," Bourke said. "He's not going to allow
Kovalev to come straight forward."
Caparello's world title shot follows on from Sam Soliman
defeating IBF middleweight champion Felix Sturm in
Germany, while also at 160lb Daniel Geale challenges
Gennady Golovkin for the WBA 'super' title and Jarrod
Fletcher faces Danny Jacobs for the WBA 'regular' belt,
both in New York.
WBC super-middleweight Sakio Bika is ready to announce
his next defence in the next few weeks, while Perth
light-middleweight Daniel Dawson is also set for a
massive contest in America.
He is near naming the date of his clash against former
WBA champion Austin Trout, believed to be in early
August.

FRIDAY NIGHT'S FIGHTS
Middleweight Michael ‘Pretty Boy’ Zerafa (14-0, 7 KOs) will
look to extend his unbeaten record when he faces battle
tested Joe ‘Sugar’ Rea (9-13-1, 4 KOs) over eight rounds
this Friday night at the Malvern Town Hall, Melbourne,
Australia.
After scoring an impressive victory over unbeaten Luke Sharp
in February, Zerafa will look to solidify his position as
one of the best prospects in Victorian boxing, with a view
to really step up his level of opposition this year. In
fighting Rea, he faces a legitimate challenge with a fighter
who has taken to the ring against world class middleweights
Martin Murray, Patrick Nielsen and Gregorz Proksa.
The bout between Zerafa and Rea headlines a seven bout card
hosted by Peter Maniatis Promotions. Zerafa and Rea will
compete for the Bob Rose Cup, one of Victorian boxing’s most
recognised trophies, with Zerafa having won it twice,
including last year over Sydneysider Rey Anton Olarte.
The card also sees former WBA top 10 rated light heavyweight
Manny Vlamis (12-3, 9 KOs) continue his comeback against
Kiwi John Roil (3-3-1, 1 KO) and former Detroit Kronk Gym
trainer fighter Pierre Karam (18-4-1, 6 KOs) returns to the
ring after three and a half years out of action against Thai
Komgrit Nanakorn (17-21, 7 KOs).
Other fighters competing on the card include Joel Camilleri,
David Galvin, Yodmongkol Singmanasak and Alex Don.

"Congratulations" Blake Caparello will
be a Light Heavyweight World Champion
As YVB has predicted Blake is still heading up to the
elite area of world champions.
Blake happens to be the cousin of my best friend at 17
y/o Noel Rowlands, his brother Max Rowlands in our West
and North Melbourne gallivanting days. He is a nice boy
and deserves all he gets as long as he keeps his mind on
the right track.
Blake's family are his best fans and support him all the
way.
