[, Music, ] hello to all my talking fight fans, thanks for tuning in to today’s episode of knuckle up with yours, truly mike orr and my man, centered ben, is over in bulgaria right now with team canada.
So he won’t be joining us this week.
But yes, we do have a great prospect for you today guys and you know what he’s from my hometown.
He is from ajax ontario canada right around the corner from toronto, where i am presently at this moment and this fighter, i’m telling you in the middleweight division right now supporting a big winning record of 13-0 with five knockouts in that middleweight division.
This 29 year old.
His name is sucdeep singh bhati, aka chakra and he’s coming off a wonderful unanimous decision win guys against uh varunzi uh, and that was at the caa center in brampton, ontario, canada, and that was saturday night.
Unfortunately, we were not ringside for that one guys, but it was uh put on, but its own zone did cover that uh excellent event and uh.
Let me tell you: it was a great one: lots of fights two day event: uh was the ninth and tenth in brampton uh, definitely put on by united boxing promotions, uh great promotional company here doing uh ontario some great justice man.
Putting on some great events in the last little while um – and you know honestly this kid – you know growing up uh, you know boxing has been a foundational part of his life uh, since he was 13 years old and as the story goes, he used to hang Out above the yard of the shir punjabi uh punjab sports academy, watching as a bystander until the day that the confrontation with one of the academy’s boxers led to a critical decision, leaving the academy of grounds for good or joining the academy and learning how to settle Disputes in a professional manner we’re glad he did it that way, guys and then, over the next few years, psyche learned how to channel and control his inner fighter into a professional.
You know, and along that way he has emerged as the leader to the community encouraging other young people to do the same, to conduct themselves respectively with boundaries of the sport.
So guys, as i was saying, the young kid he was in this ring this weekend, man, he defeated veroni over 10 rounds, uh, the indian who fights out of canada, defeated albanian opponent with relative ease and in the opening rounds, dominated uh.
The home fighter continued to lay heavy blows and over the middle round was still in control, as he asserted his advantage and moved ahead on the judge’s scorecards in the championship rounds.
Varunzi uh tried to hold on to make the fight go the distance and he successfully forced the result to go to the judge’s decision.
So singh, who won by united’s decision with one george skyrim at 100 to 90 and the two remaining judges 99 to 91.
, maintains his unbeaten record.
Now he’s moved to 13-0 with five knockouts guys and uh.
