    Gvozdyk will fight this weekend in his second pro fight against Michael Gbenga 18-12 (18KO) who went 10 rounds against Andre Dirrell and Chilemba last year. Pretty dangerous opponent at this point especially with all 18 wins coming by knockout.

    Here was his debut for anyone interested brutal KO

    Hmm...I actually heard Ruiz was on the undercard and the main event was Jose Carlos Ramirez

    There's a very brief clip of the fight here.

    About the 1:03 mark (you don't get to see much at all though. It's like a 35 second clip)

    Gbenga might have been stopped a few times but he's definitely a durable guy. In addition to going the distance against Dirrell and Chilemba, he also lasted the full route against the talented Cuban Luis Garcia and the big punching Dean Francis, the later of whom he took the full 12 rounds. And one of those loses on Gbenga's ledger came against the huge punching CW Ilunga Makabu who actually outweighed him by nearly 16 lbs. So it's definitely an impressive scalp for a one fight novice. Hopefully it was televised and someone uploads it onto Youtube.
