LAS VEGAS (June 2, 2012) - IBA Light Heavyweight World Champion Beibut
Shumenov (13-1, 8 KO's) battered a game Enrique Ornelas (33-87, 21 KO's)
from the opening bell en route to dominant victory by unanimous decision at
The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. Shumenov
revealed after the fight that he had injured his right forearm 10 days ago
during a sparring session. It didn't prevent him, however, from pitching a
complete shutout, winning each round on all three judges' scorecards in the
12-round main event. Shumenov was the aggressor, throwing hard rights to the
head and body, especially effective were his well timed uppercuts. Ornelas
was unable to counter Shumenov, who threw powerful combinations and then
avoided Ornelas' late counters.Shumenov's advisor, Hall of Fame promoter Don
Chargin, said that he will sit down next week with Shumenov to discuss his
next fight. "We have three great offers from Kessler, Hopkins and Cleverly,"
Chargin noted.
The IBA GYM has been
undergoing major changes in the last year. TONY RILA, has had three different artists come in and paint beautiful murals on the walls of the
gym. It
took about a year to finish the murals that not only pay tribute to many of the top
world-class boxers in the sport but many noted people in the sport, i.e, Don King, Bob Arum,
and many more. The gym was originally developed by RILA who decided to have a
personal gym on his estate for IBA boxing champions and his personal friends.
Tony got the idea to have a gym when he had visited the famous Prince Ranch and
decided that he would like to also have one on his property. The property lies
on 1.5 acres with beautiful trees and scenery, in a quiet setting. It took Tony
three months to get the gym completed. The gym is equipped exclusively with
Everlast boxing equipment, that includes a 20 foot boxing ring and all necessary
boxing equipment that is needed for the champions. The gym is a personal
contribution that Rila enjoyed participating in for his love of boxing. He
collects autographed boxing gloves and memorabilia. In the office of the gym,
he has over 300 signed boxing gloves from many of the past and current world
champions. RILA has the IBA estate and gym for sale on the market. If you
