boxing’s Commander in Chief, it has been full steam
ahead, in his first U.S. training camp since 2016, at

Shoh Ergashev Scores
Another First-Round KO |
|
Uzbekistani super
lightweight Shohjahon “Shoh” Ergashev finished a
sensational 2018 with yet another first-round KO, this
time over respectable Argentinean veteran Nazareno
Gaston Ruiz.
Fighting at Olimp Sports Palace in Krasnodar, Russia,
Ergashev needed just 18 seconds to demolish Ruiz, a
50-fight veteran (32-18, 11 KOs) against solid
opposition, who had never heard the 10 count before in
his career and had only been stopped once in 2010 and
once in 2007. He was also on a three-fight winning
streak before running into the full force of Ergashev’s
fury.
