Dovhun Decisions Eloyan To Remain Undefeated In Huntington, NY
Undefeated North American Boxing Association (NABA) Jr. Featherweight champion and current WBA number six rated contender Oleh Dovhun scored a hard fought ten round split decision over Geram Eloyan on Friday night at the Paramount Theatre in Huntington, NY. A very physically grueling fight that saw a lot of holding and grappling on the inside between the two fighters, Dovhun’s cleaner offense and greater activity were ultimately the story of the fight. The Ukrainian-born Dovhun was tested however, as Eloyan landed hard punches periodically throughout the bout. Both fighters were cut in the fifth round of the fight due to an accidental clash of heads, but neither fighter’s respective cuts were a factor in the outcome as both were able to go the distance. Official scores were: 96-94 (On two scorecards split between the two fighters), and 97-93 in favor of Oleh Dovhun. Oleh Dovhun advances to 14-0, with 5 Knockouts. Geram Eloyan falls to 7-3, with 6 Knockouts. Also on this...
