The first night of AIBA Pro Boxing (APB) Pre-Ranking action started with a top-class performance of Lightweights (60kg) in Astana and Super Heavyweights (91+kg) Baku.

 

Romanian Mihai Nistor will enter APB history as the first Super Heavyweight to taste the flavor of victory. The Romanian boxer imposed his way with strong punches to Germany’s Ali Kiydin’s face and body. The Romanian superstar won on points with a unanimous judges’ decision and the final score of this fight clearly reflects the great performance of Nistor in his first APB challenge.

 

In the second bout of the night, Moroccan Mohammed Arjaoui defeated  tall Ukrainian Sergiy Verveyko in one of the closest bouts of the night. The first two rounds were for the Moroccan and even if Verveyko showed all his courage in the four final rounds, it wasn’t enough to win.



The next fight saw the impressive victory of French poster boy Tony Yoka who overcame the strong Russian Magomed Omarov. The Russian entered better in the fight and in the second round he found a space in Yoka’s guard and he sent the French to the canvas. However the Frenchman managed to recover and started to control the fight to finally win 2-1 in a close decision.

 

The last fight in Baku could be called a highlight of the night. The seed number two in his category, German Erik Pfeifer controlled all the fight with his precise movements around the ring. His opponent was the New-York based Egyptian Ahmed Samir, who had got a strong professional record before entering APB. The “Prince of Egypt” answered Pfeifer with dangerous counter-attacks. But the German delivered an incredible right at the end of the second round and Samir kissed the canvas. The Egyptian managed to get up, but Pfeifer didn’t give him any opportunity anymore and clearly won the fight according to all judges.

 

In the meantime the APB Lightweights offered incredible emotions to the local public in Astana.

 

The Filipino Charly Suarez became the sensation of the night overcoming his Italian opponent -  with an impressive palmares - Domenico Valentino.

 

The following fight brought victory to the Uzbek Hurshid Tojibaev who managed to overcome by points his Russian opponent Dmitry Polyanskiy.

 

This night in Astana provoked a wave of joy in  South America as Brazil’s great Lightweight Robson Conceicao won by points his first APB fight against  Germany’s Artur Bril.

 

Kazakhstan’s Berik Abdrakhmanov pleased the local attendance by disposing of Irish APB boxer David Oliver Joyce.

 

Following this emotional and convincing start in APB, the Lightweight and Super Heavyweight boxers will be looking forward to further impress the boxing audience in the week two of the pre-ranking stage of the competition already in December.
