Gvozdyk wins in Mexico<\/strong><\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The former WBC light heavyweight world champion, Ukrainian Oleksandr Gvozdyk, continues his campaign to return to the forefront of world boxing.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
This Saturday he knocked out Ricards Bolotniks, from Latvia, in the sixth round, in the preliminary bouts of the “Canelo vs Ryder” card that took place at the Estad\u00eda Akron, in Guadalajara, Mexico.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Gvozdyk started the fight a little slow, but little by little he got into the rhythm, landing his power shots with certainty, until in the sixth round he landed a series of combinations, especially right to the face, that completely depleted Bolotniks, who suffered a large cut to his left eyebrow.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Bolotniks went to the canvas in that sixth round, and was unable to recover. Referee Celestino Ruiz rightly called off the fight, as the Latvian fighter looked completely defeated.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The end of the fight occurred at 1:53 minutes of the sixth round.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
With this result, Gvozdyk achieved his second victory in a row since he was defeated by Artur Beterbiev in October 2019, to leave his record at 19-1, with 15 knockouts. Instead, Bolotniks was 19-7-1, 8 knockouts.<\/div>\n
